Dexter Brass Union Fitting 3/16 Inch to 3/16 Inch Inverted Flare, Part 071-A73-00

This Dexter brass union fitting, part number 071-A73-00, joins two 3/16 inch inverted flare lines into a single continuous run. It is machined from brass, a material chosen for fuel and fluid line fittings because it resists corrosion from moisture and fuel exposure while holding a tight seal under vibration. The union uses a symmetrical inverted flare design on both ends, so it connects two lengths of 3/16 inch inverted-flare tubing or hose without requiring a change in fitting type. Typical uses include extending, splicing, or repairing a damaged section of fuel or brake line where a clean, leak-resistant joint is needed. Because both ends match, the fitting can be installed in either orientation. At 0.01 pounds, it is a small, lightweight component intended to be paired with the appropriate flare nuts and matching 3/16 inch inverted-flare tubing for a proper connection.
