Anderson Metals 754048-0812 Brass Flare Mnpt Connector

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS 754048-0812 is a lead-free brass flared tube connector designed for use in gas and fluid piping systems where a reliable, leak-resistant mechanical joint is required. It transitions from a 45-degree flare end on the tube side to a male NPT threaded end on the pipe side, making it a standard Flare x MNPT fitting. The tube OD is 1/2 inch and the male NPT thread size is 3/4 inch. Rated for a maximum working pressure of 750 psi, this connector is well-suited for applications demanding a secure metal-to-metal flare seat. It is installed by licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and gas fitters working on copper or compatible tubing systems.

This fitting is commonly used in residential and light commercial installations involving refrigeration lines, natural gas supply piping, LP gas systems, and potable water applications where lead-free materials are required by code. The NPT thread connection allows direct engagement with standard pipe fittings and valves. Its compact size makes it practical in tight spaces within mechanical rooms, utility chases, and equipment service connections.

Key Features

• Lead-free brass construction meets regulatory requirements for potable water and gas service
• 45-degree flare seat provides a metal-to-metal seal without the need for thread sealant on the flare end
• 750 psi maximum working pressure, both static and dynamic
• Flare x MNPT end configuration for direct connection to NPT-threaded valves, regulators, or pipe fittings
• 1/2 inch tube OD flare end paired with 3/4 inch male NPT thread
• Compact form factor suitable for installations with limited clearance

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 45-degree Flare x MNPT connector for use with 1/2 inch OD copper or compatible tubing and 3/4 inch NPT-threaded fittings, valves, and equipment ports in gas, refrigeration, and plumbing systems.

Installation Notes

This fitting is installed by licensed plumbers or gas fitters in accordance with applicable codes such as the IPC and IFGC. Before installation, shut off the gas or fluid supply and depressurize the line. The flare end requires a properly formed 45-degree flare on the tube using an appropriate flaring tool — inspect the flare seat for cracks or irregularities before making up the joint. Apply thread sealant or tape to the NPT threads only; never apply sealant to the flare seat.
