Description
Product Overview
The Tigbear Brass Tube Fitting is a precision‑engineered connector designed for 1/4″ and 1/8″ NPT pipe sizes. Crafted from 100% solid brass, the fitting delivers superior corrosion resistance, high‑temperature ductility, and low magnetic permeability—essential qualities for HVAC, refrigeration, and hydraulic applications. With a compact 4 × 2 × 0.7 inches footprint and a lightweight 1.44 oz profile, it integrates seamlessly into tight spaces while maintaining structural integrity. The NPT male threads ensure a leak‑free seal when paired with compatible fittings, and the silver exterior finish adds a professional appearance.
Usage
This versatile adapter is ideal for connecting air‑conditioner service lines, refrigeration refill hoses, manifold gauge sets, vacuum pumps, and tank venting systems. Whether you are a certified automotive technician, an HVAC installer, or a DIY hobbyist, the fitting provides a dependable link between differing pipe diameters.

FAQ
What pipe materials can I use with this fitting?
The fitting is designed for use with copper, aluminum, and steel tubing that have compatible NPT threads. Brass’s non‑reactive nature ensures it will not corrode when paired with these common materials.
Is this fitting suitable for high‑temperature applications?
Yes. Solid brass retains its mechanical properties up to approximately 400 °F (204 °C), making it appropriate for most HVAC and refrigeration cycles.
Can I use this fitting for hydraulic systems?
While the fitting is primarily marketed for HVAC and AC service, its strength and leak‑tight NPT threads also make it suitable for low‑pressure hydraulic connections, provided the system pressure does not exceed the brass rating.
Do I need any additional sealant?
For most applications, the NPT threads provide a sufficient seal when tightened to the manufacturer’s torque specifications. In high‑vibration environments, a PTFE thread seal tape can be applied for added security.
What is included in the package?
The package contains one solid brass nipple fitting (1/4″ NPT male × 1/8″ NPT male) and a brief installation guide. No batteries or additional accessories are required.
