Brass Female Inverted Flare x Female NPT Adapter\u003c\/strong\u003e is a brass inverted flare adapter that transitions between inverted flare tube and NPT or other threaded port. Inverted flare fittings use a 37° internal cone seat (SAE J512) — the opposite geometry from the 45° external seat of SAE refrigeration flare fittings. The two standards are \u003cstrong\u003enot interchangeable\u003c\/strong\u003e; mixing them results in an incomplete seal that will leak under pressure.
