40945 1/2 in. x 3/8 in. 45 Elbow Barstock
Overview
The 04095-0806P is an Anderson Metals 45-degree barstock elbow connecting a 1/2 in. SAE 45-degree male flared tube end to a 3/8 in. male NPTF pipe thread. Forged brass construction gives it the strength to route a flared tubing run on a gentle 45-degree angle while transitioning to pipe. Rated to 750 psi, it suits LP and natural gas, fuel, and instrumentation lines where space or layout calls for a 45-degree turn instead of 90.

Typical Applications
Routes flared tubing on a 45-degree angle into NPT pipe in LP and natural gas, fuel and flammable-liquid lines, refrigeration, power steering, and hydraulic or pneumatic systems. The 45-degree body eases bends in tight equipment runs while the SAE 45-degree flare seat seals metal-to-metal against vibration.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the 45 in the name?
The elbow body bends the line 45 degrees; the flare seat is also an SAE 45-degree seat.
Does the flare end need sealant?
No. The 45-degree flare seals metal-to-metal. Apply Teflon tape or pipe dope only to the 3/8 in. male NPTF thread.
What tubing can I flare to this?
Copper, brass, aluminum, or steel tubing that can be properly 45-degree flared to 1/2 in.
When use 45 instead of 90?
A 45-degree elbow makes gentler, shallower direction changes, useful in tight or angled equipment layouts.
