Anderson Metals 754048-1006 Brass Flare Connector 5/8 Od

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS 754048-1006 is a lead-free brass flared tube connector designed to join 5/8 inch OD tubing to a 3/8 inch male NPT threaded port. It uses a 45-degree flare seating angle and a Flare x MNPT end configuration, making it a standard choice for gas, refrigeration, and plumbing lines where a leak-tight mechanical connection is required without soldering. Rated at 650 psi for both static and dynamic working pressure, this fitting handles demanding service conditions. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and gas line installers use this connector when transitioning from flared soft copper or aluminum tubing to a threaded pipe or valve body.

This connector is suited for residential and light commercial applications including natural gas and LP supply lines, refrigerant piping, and potable water systems where lead-free materials are required by code. The NPT thread provides reliable sealing with pipe thread compound or PTFE tape. Its compact size and standard 45-degree flare geometry make it compatible with widely available flare nuts and flaring tools found on the job site.

Key Features

• Lead-free brass construction meets lead-free compliance requirements for potable water and gas applications
• 45-degree flare seating angle conforms to standard SAE flare tooling
• Flare x MNPT end connection for transitioning flared tubing to threaded pipe ports
• 650 psi maximum working pressure for both static and dynamic service
• 5/8 inch tube OD flare end with 3/8 inch NPT male thread

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for systems using 5/8 inch OD flared tubing terminating at a 3/8 inch NPT threaded port, consistent with standard residential and commercial gas, refrigerant, and plumbing line configurations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber, HVAC technician, or gas fitter in accordance with applicable local codes including IPC and IFGC requirements. Shut off the gas or water supply and depressurize the line before connecting or disconnecting any fitting. Use a calibrated flaring tool to produce a clean, concentric 45-degree flare seat before tightening the flare nut — a damaged or off-angle flare face is a common source of leaks. Apply listed pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape to the NPT threads; do not apply sealant to the flare seating surface.
