1. Where thread relief undercut is used, the last thread shall be chamfered 1/2 to 1 pitch thread long from the G diameter.

3. Pressure Ratings and Service Limitations—Fittings covered by this document are satisfactory for operating
pressures up to 3450 kPa (500 psi) and are suitable for use in systems conducting most fluorinated
hydrocarbon refrigerants. Fitting manufacturers should be consulted for recommendations.

4. Size Designations—Fitting sizes throughout the dimensional tables are designated by the corresponding
outside diameter of the tubing for flared type or solder type tube ends and by the corresponding standard
nominal pipe size for pipe thread ends.

5. Dimensions and Tolerances—Except for nominal sizes and thread specifications, dimensions and
tolerances are given in both SI and U.S. customary units as designated. Tabulated dimensions shall apply to
the finished parts, plated or otherwise processed, as specified by the purchasers. Unless otherwise specified,
the maximum and minimum across flat dimensions shall be within the commercial tolerance of bar or extruded
stock from which the fittings are produced. The minimum across corners dimensions of hexagons shall be
1.092 times the nominal width across flats, but shall not result in a size flat width less than 0.43 times the
nominal width across flats.

Unless otherwise specified, tolerance on hole diameters designated drill in the dimensional tables shall be as
tabulated in Table 16.

Tolerance on all dimensions not otherwise limited shall be ±0.25 mm (±0.010 in). Fitting seats shall be
concentric with the straight thread pitch diameters within 0.25 mm (0.010 in) full indicator reading (FIR).
Angular tolerance on axis of ends on elbows, tees, and crosses shall be ±2.50 degrees for sizes up to and
including 3/8 in, and ±1.50 degrees for sizes larger than 3/8 in.

Where so illustrated and not otherwise specified, hexagon corners shall be chamfered 30 degrees ± 5
degrees, to a diameter equal to the nominal width across flats, with a tolerance of –0.41 mm (–0.016 in); or
where design permits, corners may be chamfered to the diameter of the abutting surface provided the length of
chamfer does not exceed that produced by the 30 degree chamfer previously described.

6. Passages—Where passages in straight fittings are machined from opposite ends, the offset at the meeting
point shall not exceed 0.38 mm (0.015 in). The cross-sectional area at the junction of passages in angle
fittings shall not be less than that of the smallest passage. Where the passage is specified as a maximum or
as tap drill diameter or less, the minimum shall be no less than the minimum diameter of the smallest passage
in the fitting.

7. Wall Thickness—Unless otherwise designated, the wall thickness at any point on fittings shall not be less
than the thickness established by the specified dimensions, tolerances, and eccentricities for inner and outer
surfaces.

8. Contour—Details of contour shall be optional with the manufacturer, providing the tabulated dimensions are
maintained and serviceability of the fittings is not impaired. Wrench flats on elbows and tees shall be optional.
Where extruded or forged shapes are reduced to conserve material, the wall thickness, unless otherwise
specified, shall not be less than the respective minimum values tabulated in Table 17.

9. Straight Threads—Unified Standard Class 2A external and Class 2B internal threads with minor diameters,
where specified, modified to Class 3B limits shall apply to plain finish (unplated) fittings of all types. For
externally threaded parts with additive finish, the maximum diameters of Class 2A may be exceeded by the
amount of the allowance, that is, the basic diameters (Class 2A maximum diameters plus the allowance) shall
apply after plating. For internally threaded parts with additive finish, the Class 2B diameters and modified minor
diameters shall apply after plating.

The pitch diameter tolerance shall be the same as the corresponding diameter-pitch combination and class of
the Unified fine thread series or for special diameter-pitch combinations shall be based on diameter, pitch, and
a length of engagement of 9 times the pitch. See ANSI B1.1.

 SAE J513 Revised JAN1999

For convenient reference, the data generally required to specify threads are given in Table 1. (Inasmuch as
threads are normally produced and gaged with equipment made to the inch system of measurement,
conversion of size designations and dimensions to SI units is considered unnecessary.)

Where external threads are produced by roll threading and the body is not undercut, the unthreaded portion of
body adjacent to the shoulder may be reduced to the minimum pitch diameter.

External threads shall be chamfered to the diameter of abutting surfaces, or to the diameters specified, to
produce a length of chamfered or partial thread equivalent to 3/4 to 1-1/4 times the pitch (rounded to a three-
place decimal).

Internal threads shall be countersunk 90 degrees included angle to the diameters specified in the dimensional
tables.

10. Thread Eccentricity Tolerances—The various thread elements of Class 2A external and Class 2B modified
internal threads on tube fittings shall be concentric within the limitations specified in SAE J512.

11. Pipe Threads—Taper pipe threads, unless there is specific authorization to the contrary, shall conform to the
Dryseal American Standard Taper Pipe Thread (NPTF). Specifications for pipe threads are given in detail in
SAE J476.

The length of full form external thread shall not be shorter than L2 plus one pitch (thread), except that where
thread is cut through into a relieved body or undercut on the fitting, the minimum full thread length may be
reduced by one pitch (thread).

Where external pipe threads are produced by roll threading, the diameter of the unthreaded portion of shank
adjacent to shoulder may be reduced to the E2 basic pitch diameter.

The tube fitting dimensions tabulated herein are based on length of the Dryseal American Standard Taper Pipe
Thread (NPTF), it being the consensus of manufacturers and users that trouble-free assembly cannot be
assured unless full length thread is used. However, the tap drill depths and overall lengths specified in the
tables for fittings with internal taper pipe threads are not consistent with the tap drill depths and overall thread
lengths of the Dryseal American Standard Taper Pipe Threads (NPTF) given in Table A2, Appendix A of SAE
J476. The full length Dryseal American Standard Taper Pipe Taps specified in Table B2 of SAE J476 cannot
be used, as the tap drill depths and overall lengths of the fittings have been reduced to the minimum required
by bottoming taps to produce standard full thread length. The deviations described previously are peculiar to
these tube fittings and as special tooling is required, caution should be exercised in specifying such deviations
for any other products.

Straight pipe threads, where specified, shall conform to American Standard Straight Pipe Threads for
Mechanical Joints (NPSM) in ANSI B2.1.

External pipe threads shall be chamfered from the diameters tabulated in Table 2 to produce the specified
length of chamfered or partial thread. Internal pipe threads shall be countersunk 90 degrees included angle to
the diameters tabulated in Table 2.

12. Material and Manufacture—Fittings shall be made from SAE CA360 brass (half-hard), CA345, or CA350
brass bar or extruded shapes or from SAE CA377 brass forgings in accordance with the manufacturer's
processes. Nuts may be made from SAE CA377 brass forging, or steel as specified by the purchaser. Seal
bonnets and gaskets shall be made from copper conforming to SAE CA102, CA110, or CA122. As specified
by purchaser, fusible metal alloys shall be supplied for temperature ranges 70 to 74, 95 to 104, 135 to 143 °C
(158 to 165, 203 to 219, or 275 to 290 °F).

-41-
 SAE J513 Revised JAN1999

13. Finish—The external surfaces and threads of all carbon steel parts shall be plated or coated with a suitable
material that passes a 72 h salt spray test in accordance with ASTM B 117. Any appearance of red rust during
the 72 h salt spray test shall be considered failure, except for the following:

a. All internal fluid passages.

b. Edges such as hex points, serrations, and crests of threads where there may be mechanical
deformation of the plating or coating typical of mass-produced parts or shipping effects.
c. Areas where there is mechanical deformation of the plating or coating caused by crimping, flaring,
bending, and other post-plate metal forming operations.
d. Areas where the parts are suspended or affixed in the test chamber where condensate can
accumulate.

NOTE—Cadmium plating is not preferred due to environmental reasons. Parts manufactured to this
standard after January 1, 1997, shall not be cadmium plated. Internal fluid passages shall be
protected from corrosion during storage. Changes in plating may affect assembly torques and
require requalification, when applicable.

14. Workmanship—Workmanship shall conform to the best commercial practice to produce high-quality fittings.
Fittings shall be free from all hanging burrs, loose scale, and slivers which might become dislodged in usage
and all other defects which might affect their serviceability. All sealing surfaces must be smooth except that
annular tool marks up to 2.5 mm (100 min) maximum shall be permissible.

15. Assembly Considerations—Torque loads experienced during the assembly of the nut onto the flared ends of
the fittings are variable due to the different metals used in the fittings and nuts, hardness of the tubing,
manufacturing tolerances and conformance to the manufacturing recommendations. Therefore, it is
recommended that flare nuts be assembled to the flared ends one quarter (1/4) turn past finger-tight. In the
case of slight side loads which may exist during assembly, it may be necessary to “snug up” the mating parts
with a wrench to achieve a finger-tight condition. The use of lubricants is not recommended.

16. Manufacturing Recommendations—Only circular tool marks concentric to the centerline of the sealing face
will be permitted. Any such tool marks on the sealing face must be smooth within the limits of 2.5 mm (100 min).

Flare fittings should be handled, shipped, and stored in a manner that protects the sealing surface from
damage.
