Anderson Metals 754048-0202 Brass Flare Connector 1/8in

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS 754048-0202 is a lead-free brass flared tube connector designed for use in fluid and gas distribution systems where a leak-free, permanent flare connection is required. It features a 45-degree flare seat on one end and a male NPT threaded end on the other, making it a standard flare-to-MNPT transition fitting. With a maximum working pressure of 1000 psi on both static and dynamic applications, this connector is built for demanding service conditions. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and gas fitters install this type of fitting when transitioning from flared copper or aluminum tubing to a threaded port on valves, regulators, or equipment manifolds.

This connector is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC refrigerant lines, and gas piping applications where lead-free brass construction is required by code. The 1/8 inch tube OD flare end mates with standard 45-degree flare fittings, and the 1/8 inch MNPT thread connects directly to female-threaded ports. Its compact size makes it a common choice for tight installations involving small-bore tubing runs on pressure gauges, pilot assemblies, or instrument connections.

Key Features

• Lead-free brass construction meets drinking water and code-compliance requirements
• 45-degree flare seat provides a reliable, vibration-resistant seal without solder or thread sealant on the flare side
• 1000 psi maximum working pressure for both static and dynamic service
• Flare x MNPT end configuration for direct transition from tubing to threaded port
• 1/8 inch tube OD flare end with 1/8 inch NPT male thread
• Compact and lightweight at 0.02 pounds, suitable for confined spaces

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation flare connector for small-bore 1/8 inch OD tubing systems terminating at 1/8 inch female NPT ports in plumbing, HVAC, and gas distribution applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or HVAC technician in accordance with applicable local codes and IFGC or IPC standards where relevant. Shut off the gas or fluid supply and depressurize the line before disassembly or installation. Use a properly sized flaring tool to form a clean, concentric 45-degree flare on the tubing before seating the fitting. Apply thread sealant or tape to the MNPT threads only, never to the flare seating surface.
