Anderson Metals 754046-0806 Brass Female Flare Connector

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS 754046-0806 is a low-lead brass female flare connector designed for joining 1/2-inch OD tubing to 3/8-inch female IPS pipe threads. Constructed from brass with a weighted average lead content of no more than 0.25% on wetted surfaces, this fitting meets low-lead compliance requirements for potable water and gas supply applications. It is used by licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and gas fitters working on residential and light commercial systems where a reliable flare-to-pipe transition is required.

This connector is suited for installations involving copper or compatible OD tubing connecting to iron pipe size female threaded fittings. Common applications include gas appliance connections, refrigeration line sets, and plumbing supply lines where a leak-free, pressure-rated mechanical joint is needed. Each unit is individually hang tagged for easy point-of-purchase and jobsite identification.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified HVAC or gas technician in accordance with applicable local codes, including IPC and IFGC requirements. Shut off the water or gas supply and relieve line pressure before making or breaking any fitting connections. Flare connections require a properly formed flare on the tubing end — inspect the flare for cracks or irregularities before assembly. Do not overtighten; use a properly sized wrench and follow standard flare fitting assembly practices.
