Frequently Asked Questions

What is a flareless male connector?

A flareless male connector uses a ferrule to grip the tube when tightened, creating a leak-proof seal without requiring the tube end to be flared. It is commonly used in marine hydraulic and pneumatic systems.

Is this connector suitable for seawater applications?

Yes, the brass construction provides good corrosion resistance, but for direct seawater contact, consider using a bronze or stainless steel variant. This connector is ideal for freshwater cooling, fuel, and oil systems.

Can I use this connector with PTFE tape?

Yes, applying PTFE tape on the male thread can enhance sealing, especially if the mating female thread is not perfectly smooth. However, avoid over-tightening.

What is the maximum working pressure?

While not specified for this product, brass flareless connectors typically handle up to 3000 psi (207 bar) depending on tube wall thickness and temperature. Always verify with system specifications.
