FLARE-O Fittings: Elevating Hydraulic Systems with Precision and Reliability

Wednesday, February 28, 2024

In the intricate realm of hydraulic systems, precision is not just a desirable feature but an absolute requirement for optimal performance. Any failure within these systems can lead to severe consequences. Enter FLARE-O Fittings, a solution that goes beyond the conventional, offering unparalleled precision where it matters most. 

Explore our comprehensive product line, showcasing how FLARE-O Fittings not only eliminate hydraulic leaks but also ensure high quality performance in the most demanding applications.

Leak-Free Precision

FLARE-O Fittings redefine reliability by providing a leak-free solution tailored explicitly for precision-centric areas in equipment and machinery. At the core of their design lies the elastomeric O-Ring, strategically placed within sealing boundaries, seamlessly eliminating hydraulic leaks. Serving as a direct replacement for SAE 37 Degree Flared Tube Fittings, FLARE-O boasts the most dynamic seal available in the market.

The flexibility extends to seal options, including Nitrile (Buna N), Fluorocarbon (Viton), and EPDM. Should uncertainty arise about the best seal for a specific application, our team of technical engineers stands ready to collaborate, ensuring the identification of the ideal solution customized to unique needs.

Ideal for Harsh Environments

Constructed from robust materials such as carbon steel and 316-grade stainless steel, FLARE-O Fittings excel in highly corrosive environments. The 316 stainless steel, renowned for its resilience against acids, chemicals, saltwater, extreme temperatures, and more, stands as a testament to FLARE-O's commitment to durability.

Furthermore, the self-healing properties of the passive layer on 316 stainless steel upon scratching ensure prolonged durability, significantly reducing the need for frequent replacements and mitigating costly maintenance. 

This heavy-duty grade is particularly beneficial for industries requiring the highest corrosion resistance, including marine applications, FDA-mandated washdowns, submersed applications, and more. FLARE-O Fittings have become the preferred choice in a myriad of industries such as food processing, heavy equipment, transportation, marine/shipboard, mining, agricultural, and bio-diesel applications.

Installation Made Easy

FLARE-O Fittings stand out for their ability to excel in hard-to-reach areas, simplifying installations where traditional fittings fall short. Specifically designed for crucial engine and hydraulic system zones, these fittings mitigate the need for frequent replacements that involve extensive machine disassembly. The advantages are twofold – a leak-free design and prolonged durability, translating to lower maintenance costs and reduced downtime in critical production equipment.

What sets FLARE-O Fittings apart is their full compatibility with the traditional 37° design. Air-Way’s FLARE-O fitting line ensures a seamless transition, allowing users to effortlessly swap out standard 37° Flare Fittings with FLARE-O for superior leak-free performance.

Air-Way: Opt for Reliability

In any application or environment, FLARE-O Fittings deliver unmatched reliability. The consequences of hydraulic system failures, such as leaks or downtime, can be dire. To safeguard against such risks, choosing Air-Way FLARE-O Fittings becomes imperative. These fittings embody resiliency and precision in every use case, ensuring the longevity and optimal performance of your hydraulic systems.

FLARE-O Fittings not only meet but exceed the stringent requirements of hydraulic systems, offering a solution that combines precision, durability, and reliability. As industries evolve and demand more from their hydraulic systems, FLARE-O Fittings stand as a testament to innovation and excellence in hydraulic engineering.
