Anderson Metals 754046-0808 Brass Flare Connector 1/2 in

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS 754046-0808 is a lead-free brass flared tube connector designed to join 1/2-inch OD tubing to a 1/2-inch female NPT port using a 45-degree flare connection. The flare x FNPT end configuration makes it a direct, no-solder solution for gas, refrigerant, and fluid piping systems where a mechanical flare joint is required. Rated at 750 psi for both static and dynamic working pressure, this fitting is built for demanding service conditions. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and gas fitters install this type of connector in residential and light commercial piping applications where code or system design calls for a flared mechanical joint.

This connector is suited for use in natural gas, propane, refrigerant, and hydraulic fluid lines wherever a 45-degree SAE flare meets a female NPT port. Typical applications include gas appliance connections, refrigeration line sets, and compressed-air or fluid-transfer assemblies in both residential and commercial installations. The lead-free brass construction meets material requirements for potable water and gas service in jurisdictions following current plumbing and fuel-gas codes.

Key Features

• Lead-free brass construction meets low-lead requirements for potable water and gas applications
• 45-degree SAE flare x FNPT end connection for tool-tight, no-solder installation
• 750 psi maximum working pressure, static and dynamic
• 1/2-inch tube OD flare end with 1/2-inch female NPT thread
• NPT thread standard ensures compatibility with standard pipe fittings and valves

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service fitting for residential and commercial piping systems requiring a 45-degree flare to female NPT connection at 1/2-inch tube OD and 1/2-inch NPT thread size.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or HVAC technician in accordance with applicable local codes, IFGC, or IPC requirements. Shut off the gas or fluid supply and depressurize the line before disassembling or installing any flare fitting. Use a properly sized flaring tool to produce a clean, uniform 45-degree flare on the tubing before seating the fitting. Do not overtighten; thread engagement should be hand-tight plus the manufacturer-recommended turns for NPT connections per applicable code.
