SKU: 18908
$8.70
The 3/8 BSP Female X 5/16 Male Flare Union is a specialized fitting used to join two different types of threaded connections, designed for various fluid, gas, and refrigeration systems.
BSP Female Thread:
The BSP (British Standard Pipe) thread is a widely used thread type in plumbing, gas, and fluid systems. The female BSP end is designed to connect with a male BSP fitting, forming a secure, leak-proof joint. This type of thread is commonly found in European and international systems.
5/16 Male Flare Thread:
The 5/16 male flare thread is a specific size in the SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) flare thread family. It features a 45-degree flare and is commonly used in automotive, refrigeration, and other fluid-based systems where a tight, leak-free seal is necessary. It is smaller in diameter compared to more common flare threads, making it suitable for systems that require a smaller connection.
Size:
This fitting connects a 3/8 inch BSP Female thread to a 5/16 inch Male Flare thread, offering flexibility in systems with mixed-thread connections.
Material:
Typically made from brass, stainless steel, or zinc-plated steel, these materials are corrosion-resistant and durable, making them suitable for use in harsh environments or systems involving high pressure or exposure to chemicals.
Union Design:
A union allows for easy assembly and disassembly of connected parts. It ensures a secure, leak-proof connection and makes maintenance or modifications to the system simple and efficient.
Gas Systems:
The BSP Female to SAE Flare Male connection is often used in LPG and natural gas installations, particularly when transitioning between different thread types. It can connect gas hoses, regulators, or other equipment in residential or commercial gas systems.
Automotive and Hydraulic Systems:
SAE flare threads, such as the 5/16 male flare, are commonly used in automotive and hydraulic applications. This union allows for a seamless connection between BSP threads and SAE flare threads, making it useful for mixed-thread systems.
Refrigeration and Air Conditioning:
The 5/16 SAE male flare is commonly found in HVAC and refrigeration systems. This fitting allows the connection of copper refrigerant lines to components such as compressors, condensers, and evaporators, offering a secure and reliable seal.
Water and Plumbing Systems:
While not as common, this union can also be used in water and plumbing systems where BSP and SAE flare connections are needed. It ensures proper fluid flow and a tight seal in these systems.
Leak-Free Seal:
The flare design creates a tight, reliable seal, which is crucial for gas, fluid, or refrigerant systems where leaks can lead to safety hazards or inefficiency.
Versatility:
The union provides the flexibility to connect BSP and SAE flare threads, allowing for mixed-thread systems. It is perfect for applications where these two types of threads are required in the same setup.
Ease of Installation and Maintenance:
Unions allow for easy disconnection, making the fitting ideal for systems that need regular maintenance, adjustments, or repairs.
Durability:
Made from corrosion-resistant materials such as brass or stainless steel, this fitting is built to withstand exposure to chemicals, heat, and high-pressure environments.
Adapting Between BSP and SAE Flare Connections:
When your system requires an adaptation from BSP to SAE flare threads, this union is the ideal choice.
High-Pressure Systems:
Suitable for fluid or gas systems that operate under pressure, such as hydraulic, refrigeration, and gas installations.
Refrigeration and HVAC Systems:
Perfect for air conditioning, refrigeration, and similar systems that utilize SAE flare fittings for refrigerant lines and BSP connections for other components.
The 3/8 BSP Female X 5/16 Male Flare Union is a versatile, durable, and reliable fitting used to connect systems with different thread types. Its high-quality material construction ensures long-lasting performance in a variety of applications, including gas systems, automotive and hydraulic systems, and refrigeration systems. The flare design ensures a secure, leak-proof seal, while the union design allows for easy disconnection and maintenance. This fitting is an essential part of any system that requires transitioning between BSP and SAE flare threads.
