Zinc-Chromate Steel Inverted Flare Tube Nut — SAE 45° Brake & Air Line Fitting
SAE 45° inverted flare tube nuts for making leak-tight connections on metal tubing. Each nut slips over the tube and seats against a standard 45° inverted flare, then threads into a matching female union, tee, or adapter — the industry-standard connection for hydraulic brake, fuel, transmission-cooler, power-steering, and low-pressure air lines. A zinc-chromate finish adds corrosion resistance. Choose your tube size and thread from the options below.
