Anderson Metals 754048-0808 Brass Flare Connector 1/2 in

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS 754048-0808 is a lead-free brass flared tube connector designed to join 1/2-inch OD flared tubing to a 1/2-inch male NPT threaded port. The fitting produces a 45-degree flare-to-male-NPT connection and is rated for up to 750 psi working pressure in both static and dynamic service. Constructed from lead-free brass, it meets drinking water safety requirements, making it appropriate for potable water, gas, and refrigeration tubing applications. Licensed plumbers and HVAC technicians are the typical installers on residential and light commercial jobs.

This connector is commonly used in refrigeration line sets, natural gas and propane supply lines, and potable water systems where a flared tube must terminate at a threaded fitting or valve. The Flare x MNPT end configuration allows a direct transition from compression-style flared tubing to a standard NPT-threaded port on valves, manifolds, meters, or appliance connections. It is suited for residential and light commercial installations in tight spaces given its compact form factor.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting compatible with 1/2-inch OD flared tubing systems using standard 45-degree SAE flare connections and 1/2-inch NPT threaded ports.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or HVAC technician in accordance with applicable local codes, the International Plumbing Code, or IFGC requirements depending on the service medium. Shut off and depressurize the supply line completely before removing any existing fitting or making a new connection. Use two wrenches when tightening to prevent torque from transferring to adjacent tubing. Do not over-flare or re-flare tubing at the joint, and inspect the flare seat for scoring or deformation before assembly.
