Anderson Metals 754070-06 Brass Flare Connector 3/8 in Od

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS 754070-06 is a lead-free brass flared tube connector designed for joining tubing in plumbing, HVAC, and refrigeration systems. It features a 45-degree flare angle with flare x flare end connections on both sides, accepting 3/8 inch tube OD. The lead-free brass construction meets modern potable water and fuel gas application standards. Rated to 1000 psi maximum working pressure for both dynamic and static conditions, this connector is suited for demanding service environments. It is a compact, single-piece fitting installed by licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and refrigeration mechanics where a reliable tube-to-tube inline connection is required.

This connector is appropriate for residential and light commercial applications involving copper or brass tubing. Typical uses include fuel gas supply lines, refrigerant piping, water supply connections, and air conditioning line sets where 45-degree flare fittings are specified. The flare x flare configuration allows both ends to mate directly with factory-flared tubing or field-flared tube ends, making it a standard choice during new installation or service replacement work.

Key Features

• Lead-free brass construction meets current potable water and fuel gas regulations
• 45-degree flare angle on both ends for leak-resistant mechanical connections
• Flare x flare end connection accepts 3/8 inch OD tubing on each side
• 1000 psi maximum working pressure rating for both static and dynamic service
• Compact single-piece design with no solder or adhesive required

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 45-degree flare x flare inline connector for 3/8 inch OD copper or brass tubing used in plumbing, HVAC, and refrigeration systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or HVAC technician. Shut off the gas, water, or refrigerant supply and depressurize the line before working on the fitting. Tube ends must be cleanly cut and properly flared to a 45-degree angle using a calibrated flaring tool before assembly. Tighten flare nuts to the fitting using two wrenches to avoid twisting the tubing, and verify the joint for leaks before returning the system to service.
