A flare male adapter connects flared tubing to a male-threaded fitting with a metal-to-metal seal formed by the tube flared end, a robust, vibration-resistant joint common in gas and high-pressure lines. Moonshine Bath stocks flare male adapters in common SAE sizes.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does a flare fitting seal?
The tubing end is flared into a cone shape with a flaring tool, and the flare nut presses that cone against the fitting matching seat, creating a strong metal-to-metal seal, ideal for gas and high-pressure use.
Do flare fittings need thread tape?
The flare itself seals metal-to-metal and needs no tape. Only a separate pipe-thread end, if any, gets sealant. Some codes require approved flare sealant on gas connections, so follow local rules.
