    Can't find this for the life of me. I think Swagelok has this fitting but I can't find the thread pitch and size for a 1/4 MFL connection (the same connection for find on ball lock disconnects).

    Thanks for any insight...

    Did you check McMaster Carr?

    I'm sure they have it but I need the dimensions on the threads for what the brew community typically calls 1/4 MFL.

    MFL = Male Flare??
    Is it a 37 deg flared threaded end (JIC/AN fitting)?
    If it is, 1/4" JIC/AN is a unified screw thread 7/16"-20

    Yep MFL is male flare as far as I can tell. I'm trying to replicate the screw on part of a corny keg quick disconnect that utilizes a swivel nut that you commonly see at your local LBHS. Thanks for the info.

    This post is long gone like a turkey in the corn, but CHI carries them for $4.16.

    Check Common Industry Parts/Fittings-Couplers-Valves/Stainless Steel Fittings/Flare Fittings. Part #SSMFLPipe-04C03226ih.

    Took me forever to find it— wanted a cheap gas disconnect. Thanks for the info on MFL thread sizes, I needed to confirm that it would work.
