Anderson Metals 754049-0402 Brass 45 Deg Flare Male Elbow

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS 754049-0402 is a lead-free brass 45-degree flare male elbow fitting designed for use in refrigeration, HVAC, and plumbing tubing systems where a directional change is required at a male threaded connection point. The fitting transitions from a 45-degree flare end to a male NPT threaded end, accepting 1/4 inch outside diameter tubing on the flare side and a 1/8 inch MNPT connection on the threaded side. Rated for up to 1000 psi working pressure in both dynamic and static service, this elbow is suited for high-pressure line applications. The lead-free brass construction meets material compliance requirements common in potable water and refrigerant-adjacent service environments.

This fitting is used in residential and light commercial HVAC, refrigeration, and plumbing installations where copper or compatible soft tubing must connect to an NPT-threaded port at a 45-degree angle. Typical applications include connecting refrigerant lines, fuel gas lines, or water supply tubing to equipment ports, valves, or manifolds. Licensed HVAC technicians, refrigeration mechanics, and plumbers install this type of fitting as part of new construction or service work on equipment with 1/8 inch NPT-threaded ports.

Key Features

• Lead-free brass construction for compliance in applicable service environments
• 45-degree flare angle provides directional routing without additional bends in the tubing run
• 1000 psi maximum working pressure rating for both static and dynamic service
• Flare x MNPT end connections allow direct tubing-to-threaded-port transitions
• 1/4 inch tube OD flare end paired with 1/8 inch male NPT thread
• Compact form factor suitable for tight equipment enclosures and panel installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service fitting for systems using 1/4 inch OD flared tubing connections with 1/8 inch NPT-threaded ports, consistent with ANSI flare fitting standards for copper and compatible tubing.

Installation Notes

Installation of this fitting is typically performed by licensed HVAC technicians, refrigeration mechanics, or plumbers depending on the service application. Before installation, de-energize associated equipment and isolate or recover any refrigerant, fluid, or gas present in the line per applicable codes including IFGC and IPC. Ensure the tubing end is properly flared to the 45-degree specification using a calibrated flaring tool before seating the fitting. Apply thread sealant or tape to the MNPT threads as appropriate for the medium being conveyed, and tighten to fitting manufacturer guidelines without over-torquing the flare nut.
