SAE-Flare Fitting 3/8

ARMACELL SAE FLARE FITTINGS - Secure and Fast Solution for Split Installations

The Armacell SAE flare fitting meets the highest safety standards. It replaces the soldering in a fast, safe and economic way. No additional sealing is needed, only metal-to-metal sealing by the rim on the flare of the compression ferrule. The nut made of brass alloy fits perfectly on the tube armature, and the most important part -the compression ferrule- takes over the sealing much better than the traditional hand-made flared end to the copper tube very effectively. No copper gasket is needed and none of the pieces have to be replaced after maintenance and repair.

Supervision & Certificates

Tested by internal test procedures according to DIN 3859 and by CETIM:

Reverse-bending strength test: no leakage after 10 Mio. cycles at 50 Hz under nominal pressure

Helium-leakage detector (gas tightness) : < 0,5 g/year (10-6 mbar/l/s)

Burst-pressure test (4 times nominal pressure): no leakage

Temperature cycle test (5 cycles at -40º C to +120 ºC at 10 bar He): no leakage CETIM, Internal and field test results
