got a union fitting that needs replacing on a 1/4 inch OD tube line running through our pneumatic setup, both ends are 7/16-20 SAE 45 flare male. this the right part?

For a 1/4 inch OD tube with 7/16-20 male SAE 45 flare connections on both sides, this is exactly what you want. The 42X4 has matching male flare ends on both sides at that thread size and is built to fit 0.25 inch tube OD. It works in pneumatic systems, so your application lines right up.
