Alan M Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 The pictured fittings are from the vacuum line to windshield wipers on a 1930 Cadillac. It appears to be an early type of compression fitting without a separate ferrule. It looks like the male fitting is compressed onto the tubing as it is tightened and in addition to making a seal, the tube can then not be pulled out. Does anyone know the correct name for these fittings, what type of threads they are, and if they are available today? The tube is 3/16". I need two of the male parts, new or used, and would appreciate any leads on a source. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8E45E Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 That is a FLARE fitting, most likely, a 37° SAE taper. Besides hydraulic brake lines, it could have been used for vacuum lines, for wiper, Startix, etc. Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
