#3 Male To 3/16in Inverted Flare fitting

The #3 Male To 3/16in Inverted Flare fitting from TILTON is a critical hydraulic connector engineered for high-performance brake and clutch systems in motorsports and street-modified vehicles. This fitting serves as the bridge between master cylinders, proportioning valves, and brake lines in race-spec and custom hydraulic configurations. Whether you're building a custom brake setup for a track car, restoring a classic with modern hydraulics, or fabricating a bespoke clutch line layout, this inverted flare connector ensures leak-free, pressure-tight connections under demanding conditions.

The inverted flare design—a 37-degree flare geometry—provides superior sealing compared to standard straight fittings, creating a metal-to-metal wedge seal that withstands peak brake pressures and thermal cycling without degradation. TILTON's precision-machined construction ensures concentricity and thread alignment critical for vibration resistance in modified engine bays and high-g cornering environments. The #3 port size (typically 3/16-inch inverted flare) matches common OEM and aftermarket hydraulic component outlets, making this fitting a universal adapter in performance brake system plumbing. Its compact footprint and minimal weight contribute to efficient chassis packaging in race-prepared vehicles.

Mechanics and fabricators working on dual-brake proportioning systems, adjustable bias setups, or custom clutch mastering will find this fitting indispensable for reliable system assembly. It pairs seamlessly with TILTON valve bodies, remote reservoirs, and hard-line plumbing in both street and competition applications. Installation requires standard brake line wrenches and careful flare-nut torque sequencing to prevent cross-threading; compatible with DOT 3, 4, and 5.1 brake fluids. This fitting is suited for vehicles ranging from vintage drag racers and drift platforms to modern street-modified sports cars seeking precision hydraulic control.
