Flare Fittings are manufactured especially with hazardous liquids and gasses in mind. They are available in sizes ranging from 1/8" to 3/4", and are manufactured from high quality DZR grade brass alloy . All flare fittings conform to the following standards: AS D26, AS3688, AG 601-1995, NZG 1993/76.

ADVANTAGES

May be assembled/disassembled numerous times. When used with the appropriate tubing, they can withstand high pressures. For improved resistance to mechanical vibration, the Long Flare Nut maybe used.

APPLICATIONS

Use with copper, brass, aluminum, and flareable steel pipe. Install where medium to high pressures are encountered. Flare Fittings, when used with the Long Flare Nut, provide good resistance to vibration. Ideal for use with fuel, oil, air, water and Natural Gas lines. In Applications where temperatures extremes are encountered we recommend the use of stress-relieved fittings. Please contact our technical sales department for more information.

WORKING PRESSURES

Flare Fittings are able to withstand high pressures, use the table below as a guideline.
Usually, pressures are determined by the pipe used, rather than the Flare Fitting.

SPECIAL SIZES

Other sizes not specified are available upon request.

ASSEMBLY

I. Slide nut, tapered end first, onto tubing.
II. Using a 45° flaring tool, flare end of tube until flare just fits inside nut. (On thin wall tubing it is
recommended a double flare is used to prevent pinch off.)
III. Assemble to fitting body. Nut should be tightened hand tight.
IV. Using a wrench, tighten until a leak-proof, metal to metal joint is achieved. To avoid premature
failure of the fitting, do not over-tighten.
