Anderson Metals 754048-0806 Brass Flare Connector 1/2 in

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS 754048-0806 is a lead-free brass flared tube connector designed for use in gas, fuel, or fluid distribution lines where a secure, leak-resistant mechanical joint is required. It features a 45-degree flare end on one side and a male NPT threaded end on the other, making it a standard Flare x MNPT transition fitting. The tube OD is 1/2 inch and the male thread is 3/8 inch NPT. Rated at 750 psi maximum working pressure for both static and dynamic conditions, this connector is suited for applications where pressure integrity and material compliance matter. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the typical installers for this type of fitting.

This fitting is used in residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC refrigerant line transitions, propane and natural gas distribution, and hydraulic or pneumatic tubing assemblies where a 45-degree flare seat is specified. It is commonly installed at appliance connections, manifolds, and line-set terminations that require an NPT port on the mating component. The lead-free brass construction makes it suitable for potable water applications where lead-free material compliance is required by code.

Key Features

• Lead-free brass construction meets lead-free compliance requirements for potable water systems
• 45-degree flare seat provides a metal-to-metal seal without additional sealant on the flare side
• Flare x MNPT end configuration transitions between flared tubing and NPT-threaded ports
• 750 psi maximum working pressure rated for both static and dynamic service
• 1/2 inch tube OD flare end with 3/8 inch male NPT thread

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Flare x MNPT connector compatible with 1/2 inch OD tubing prepared to a 45-degree flare seat and any 3/8 inch NPT female-ported component or valve body.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or gas fitter. Shut off and depressurize the line before disassembly or fitting installation. The flare seat requires properly flared tubing using a calibrated 45-degree flaring tool — do not use pipe dope or thread sealant on the flare cone itself. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male NPT threads only, following applicable IPC or IFGC requirements for the service type.
