45° Flared Fittings for Copper and Brass Tubing

- Temperature Range: -65° to 250° F
- Tubing: Use with seamless brass and copper that meets ASTM B280
No sleeve is required to assemble these fittings, which makes for a faster, more convenient installation compared to 37° flared fittings. They require a nut (sold separately) for each tube end. Fittings are also known as refrigeration and SAE fittings. They are brass for good corrosion resistance.
Copper tube size is the accepted designation of the copper tubing industry, not the actual tube OD.

- Specifications Met: SAE J512, SAE J513, UL Listed




- For Use With: Air, Cutting Oil, Diesel Fuel, Fuel Oil, Mineral Oil, Refrigerant, Water; except nuts for 1" tube OD are not for use with fuel oil
- Specifications Met: SAE J512, SAE J513, UL Listed; except nuts for 1" tube OD meet SAE J512 and SAE J513 only

Inch-to-Inch Female Hex Thread Adapters


Connect two differently sized male-threaded parts, such as threaded rods, and tighten with a standard wrench. The threads on these adapters have various sizes and spacing, so you can increase or decrease thread size or adapt from coarse to fine threading. You can also use them to change the gender of a connection from male to female. Small adapters can work as threaded standoffs, which position and separate circuit boards and other components in assemblies.
18-8 stainless steel adapters withstand wet environments but will corrode when exposed to salt water and other chloride solutions.
316 stainless steel adapters are ideal in wet environments and will not corrode when exposed to salt water or harsh chemicals.
Aluminum adapters are about one third of the weight of steel adapters and resist corrosion in wet environments.
Adapters that meet ASTM specifications are made from or plated with materials that adhere to standards for chemical and physical properties, such as hardness.

18-8 Stainless Steel Easy-to-Install Thread-Locking Inserts
Made of 18-8 stainless steel, these inserts have good corrosion resistance. Also known as E-Z Lok, they use Loctite® adhesive to keep them in place. The adhesive reaches full strength after 72 hours. They may be mildly magnetic. Installation requires a drill bit and a standard tap. Then set the insert with an installation bit, a slotted screwdriver, or a bolt with two nuts.
Inserts with a thin wall are often used in small holes or near the edge of a workpiece.

Black-Phosphate Steel Easy-to-Install Thread-Locking Inserts
A black-phosphate finish provides mild corrosion resistance. Also known as E-Z Lok, these inserts use Loctite® adhesive to keep them in place. The adhesive reaches full strength after 72 hours. Installation requires a drill bit and a standard tap. Then set the insert with a bolt and two nuts, or use an installation bit.
Choose inserts with a thick wall for greater strength than thin-wall inserts, or to fill a large hole.
To drive slotted inserts, you can use a slotted screwdriver instead of using an installation bit or a bolt and two nuts.

Alloy Steel Socket Nuts
Also known as Allen nuts, use these with socket head cap screws in recessed holes and tight spaces that don't have enough clearance for a wrench. Tighten them with a 6-point hex key. They can also be used as an insert by pressing or drawing them into nonhardened steel, cast iron, or soft nonferrous metal or by molding them into plastic, ceramic, fiber, and similar materials. Made from alloy steel, they're comparable in strength to Grade 9 bolts.
