LASCO 17-6783 1/4-Inch Female Flare by 1/4-Inch Male Pipe Thread Brass Adapter: Enhanced Plumbing Connector Review

Just what I need to match my sprinkler system to my Air PX quick connect system which is not available in department stores.

I used this to blow out my sprinklers. If you have a 1/4 inch nipple this is ideal for connecting to an air hose. Exactly what I needed.

Looks like a 1/4" socket and is advertised as a 1/4" socket but will not fit a reverse 1/4" socket. I have checked that my Male connector is correct as it mates with other 1/4" flare connectors.

I ordered this as an adapter for my sprinkler check valve. I use it to connect an overhead line to a check valve so it can be winterized. I can blow water out of the sprinkler system, reducing the chance of freezing.

I tinkered to connect the keg quick coupler, rotary valve and pressure gauge. I looked at two major stores that don't sell 1/4" flare instead of 1/4" tubing (NPT?). It definitely helped.

As mentioned by another reviewer, this is the part to complete my spinner valve assembly - the flared end of the CO2 fitting (gas outlet) of the home brew keg to connect to a threaded inner tube splitter that your pressure gauge can accommodate and a gas release valve. My English Bitter is now naturally carbonated in the cask!

This adapter was used to replace the quick disconnect on a female R134a service hose and convert it to a 1/4" female flare fitting. After installing this adapter it was easy to add 134a refrigerant to my freezer from a 12oz car can via the 1/4" male thread service fitting (which I previously soldered to the compressor).

Corny keg gas and beverage connections often have a 1/4" flare connection. To connect you need a female fitting. Big box hardware stores do not have this equipment, neither do they most homebrew stores. I've searched long and hard. This one fits perfectly and allows for the connection of a 1/4" pipe thread gauge or shut-off valve. It's a little expensive to pay for an adjustment, but I haven't found it cheaper anywhere.

Before I found this adapter I tried many times at other major retail stores hoping to get what I see and it actually tried there instead of ordering online. This is a slightly more complex component in the connection from the compressor to the irrigation system that has brass steps (at 45 degrees although I didn't understand that before). My compressor had a standard 1/4" NPT fitting and would not connect to winterized brass sprinkler systems. hope and it worked great, saved me a lot of time…
