Anderson Metals 754048-1412 Brass Flare Connector 7/8 in

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS 754048-1412 is a lead-free brass flared tube connector designed to join a 7/8-inch OD flared tube to a 3/4-inch male NPT threaded port. The fitting uses a 45-degree flare seat on the tube end and a standard MNPT connection on the opposite end, creating a secure, leak-resistant joint in pressurized fluid or gas lines. Rated for up to 450 psi working pressure in both static and dynamic service conditions, this connector is suited for demanding plumbing and refrigeration line applications where lead-free compliance is required by code.

This connector is used in residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC refrigerant piping, and fuel gas distribution systems where a flared tube must terminate into a threaded fitting or valve body. Licensed plumbers and HVAC technicians install this type of fitting when transitioning from copper or aluminum tubing to a threaded component. The Flare x MNPT end configuration makes it a straightforward choice for service and new-installation work requiring a field-flareable, reusable joint.

Key Features

• Lead-free brass construction meets plumbing code requirements for potable water and other regulated service
• 45-degree flare seat on tube end provides a reliable, leak-resistant metal-to-metal seal
• 450 psi maximum working pressure rated for both static and dynamic service
• 7/8-inch tube OD flare end connects to 3/4-inch MNPT threaded port
• NPT thread standard ensures broad compatibility with standard threaded fittings and valves
• Single-piece construction with no gaskets or elastomers to degrade over time

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for systems using 7/8-inch OD flared tubing and 3/4-inch NPT threaded connections in plumbing, HVAC, and fuel gas piping applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified HVAC technician in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IFGC requirements. Shut off and depressurize the line completely before disconnecting any existing fittings. Use a calibrated flaring tool to produce a clean, uniform 45-degree flare on the tube end before seating the fitting — a damaged or uneven flare face is a common source of leaks. Apply appropriate thread sealant to the MNPT threads only; never apply sealant to the flare seating surfaces.
