  • $4.72


The JB Industries T2-6 is a professional-grade 3/8" SAE flare tee engineered for high-pressure HVACR duty. Machined from premium American-made C360 and C370 brass at JB’s Aurora, Illinois facility, this three-way tee fitting provides a reliable metal-to-metal seal without the need for brazing or open flames. It is specifically designed to handle the rigorous demands of refrigeration flare connections, offering high tensile strength and superior corrosion resistance compared to lower-quality imports. With a 45-degree flare angle, the T2-6 is fully compatible with copper, brass, aluminum, and steel tubing, making it a versatile component for branching liquid or suction lines in various split systems and commercial racks.

Built to exceed industry benchmarks, this brass flare union conforms to SAE J513 standards and AHRI guidelines, ensuring precise sealing surfaces for leak-free performance. Its forged brass body is rated for vacuum service and operating pressures up to 5,000 PSI, depending on the connected tubing material and environmental conditions. For technicians working on HVAC residential and commercial systems, the T2-6 provides a durable, make-and-break connection that stands up to vibration and repeated assembly.

  • Forged Brass Strength: Manufactured using high-copper C360 brass to prevent cracking and ensure structural integrity under high pressure.
  • Universal Compatibility: Works seamlessly with ACR copper, aluminum, and even plastic tubing when a proper flare is generated.
  • Leak-Resistant Design: Precision-machined 45-degree SAE flare ends provide a secure mechanical seal for refrigerant and fuel oil lines.
  • Vibration Resistance: Robust construction makes it ideal for use in high-vibration environments like marine or heavy industrial HVACR applications.
  • American Made Quality: Proudly machined in the USA for consistent dimensions and tighter tolerances than generic alternatives.
Common Questions
  • Is this fitting compatible with R-410A systems? Yes, the high-pressure rating of this forged brass tee makes it suitable for use with common refrigerants including R-410A, provided it is paired with appropriately rated tubing and nuts.
  • Can I use this tee for gas applications? While SAE 45-degree flare fittings are used in some fuel oil and gas lines, always check local codes and AHJ requirements regarding copper content and burial restrictions before installation.
  • Do I need thread sealant for these flare ends? No, flare fittings rely on a mechanical metal-to-metal seal. Do not use Teflon tape or pipe dope on the threads; however, a drop of refrigerant oil or Nylog on the flare surface can assist in achieving a proper seal.
