Anderson Metals 754046-0606 Brass Flare Connector 3/8

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS 754046-0606 is a lead-free brass flared tube connector designed for use in fluid and gas distribution systems where a reliable, leak-tight transition from a flared tube end to a female NPT port is required. The fitting features a 45-degree flare seat on one end and a female NPT thread on the other, making it a direct Flare x FNPT configuration. Rated to 1000 psi working pressure in both static and dynamic service, this connector is built for demanding applications. The lead-free brass construction meets material standards required for potable water and fuel gas service. Licensed plumbers and HVAC technicians are the primary installers of this fitting.

This connector is used in residential and light commercial plumbing, refrigeration, fuel gas, and HVAC installations where a 3/8 inch OD tube must be joined to a female NPT threaded port. It is suited for copper tubing systems using 45-degree SAE flare connections and threaded pipe assemblies. Typical applications include gas appliance connections, refrigerant line fittings, and water supply runs where a flare-to-pipe thread transition is needed.

Installation Notes

This fitting is installed by licensed plumbers or HVAC technicians in accordance with applicable local codes, the International Plumbing Code, or the International Fuel Gas Code. Shut off the gas or water supply and depressurize the line before disassembling or installing any flare fitting. Use an appropriately sized flaring tool to prepare the tube end to a proper 45-degree seat before tightening the nut. Do not overtighten, as brass fittings are subject to thread and seat damage from excessive force.
