SAE 45 ํ Flare

A term usually applied to fittings having a 45 ํ angle flare or seat.  Soft copper tubing is generally used in such applications as it is easily flared to the 45 ํ angle.  These are for low-pressure applications - such as for fuel lines and refrigerant lines.

The SAE 45 ํ flare male will mate with an SAE 45 ํ flare female only or a dual seat JIC/SAE 45 ํ.

The SAE male has straight threads and a 45 ํ flare seat.
The SAE female has straight threads and a 45 ํ flare seat.  The seal is made on the 45 ํ flare seat.

Some sizes have the same threads as the SAE 37 ํ flare.

Carefully measure the seat angle to differentiate.
