Good quality but shipping took time
The fitting itself is top-notch Japanese quality. It fits perfectly on the copper tubing. Only giving 4 stars because direct mail from Japan took a bit longer than expected.

Works as described
Bought this for a DIY mini-split project. It worked well, though you need proper flaring tools to get the best seal. The metal feels very durable.

Perfect fit for my AC repair
Exactly what I needed for a custom line set installation. The flare angles are precise and the brass quality is excellent. No leaks after pressure testing.

Hard to find size locally
Couldn't find this specific 1/4x3/8 reducer elbow at local supply houses. Glad to find it here. Arrived well packaged and in perfect condition.

Professional grade component
I use these for commercial refrigeration units. The reduction from 3/8 to 1/4 is smooth and the elbow angle makes tight spaces much easier to work with.

Reliable TASCO product
Never had an issue with TASCO fittings. This reducer elbow is no exception. Clean threads and perfect flare surface.
Q: Can I return this if the sizing is wrong for my project?
A: Since this is a direct mail item from Japan, please check our specific return policy on the checkout page. Generally, unopened items in original packaging can be returned within 30 days.
Q: Is the 1/4 inch side male or female flare?
A: This is a flare elbow fitting, meaning both ends (1/4 inch and 3/8 inch) are designed to accept flared tubing with a corresponding flare nut. It does not have male or female threaded pipe connections.
Q: Does this come with a nut and sleeve or just the elbow body?
A: This item includes only the reducer flare elbow body. You will need to use your existing nuts and sleeves or purchase them separately according to your tubing size.
Q: Is this fitting compatible with both R410A and R32 refrigerants?
A: Yes, this brass flare elbow is designed to handle standard HVAC refrigerants including R410A, R32, and R22, provided it is installed correctly with proper torque.
Q: What is the maximum working pressure for this component?
A: While specific ratings can vary by application, standard brass flare fittings of this type are generally rated for high-pressure HVAC systems up to 600+ PSI. Always consult local codes for specific requirements.
