Frequently Asked Questions
What is light pattern?
Light pattern (LP) fittings use a slightly reduced body for economy and lighter-duty service; this one is rated 750 psi.
Does the NPTF end need sealant?
NPTF is a dryseal thread, but PTFE tape or pipe dope is still recommended for a reliable leak-free joint.
Is the flare SAE 45-degree?
Yes. The 1/2 in. flared end uses the SAE 45-degree seat for hydraulic and refrigeration tubing.
What tubing does it fit?
Copper, brass, aluminum, and steel hydraulic tubing prepared with a 45-degree flare.
