-
Pressure & Temperature: Rated up to 1200 psi and up to 250°F, suitable for refrigerant, HVAC, and light plumbing duties.
-
Certification: ANSI certified, ensuring compliance with industry standards and consistent quality.
-
Compatibility: Designed to work with aluminum, brass, copper, and iron tubing commonly found in heating, cooling, and industrial systems.
Why this brass flare tee stands out compared to generic fittings is its precise machining and solid brass construction that delivers repeatable seals across all three ports. The triple-flare configuration minimizes the need for additional fittings, reducing potential leak points and simplifying layout in compact equipment bays or service panels. This means fewer parts to manage and faster, safer installations in field service, shop fabrication, or residential and commercial systems.
Ideal use cases include:
- Branching a main refrigerant or fuel line to two downstream components in HVAC or automotive A/C systems.
- Creating a three-way junction in small-diameter tubular networks where a single feed must be split without welding or soldering.
- Repairs or upgrades in systems using 5/8" flare tubing that require a reliable, all-brass 3-port junction.
Practical installation tips to maximize performance:
- Prepare tubing with a proper 5/8" flare tool to achieve a clean 45-degree flare seat for each port.
- Use compatible flare nuts and ensure threads are clean and undamaged to avoid cross-threading.
- A torque approach: snug the flare nuts to achieve a tight seal without over-tightening, which can deform the flare and cause leaks.
- After assembly, test the system for leaks with a soap solution or appropriate leak detector before pressurizing.
