Anderson Metals Corp 54348-0604 Inverted Flare Connector

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS CORP 54348-0604 is a reducing inverted flare connector designed to join tubing lines of two different diameters in refrigeration, automotive, and fluid-transfer applications. It transitions a 3/8-inch inverted flare fitting to a 1/4-inch inverted flare fitting, creating a secure, leak-resistant mechanical connection without the need for solder or adhesives. Installers working on refrigerant lines, brake lines, or fuel lines rely on this type of fitting to maintain system integrity under pressure. The part ships in bulk packaging with a package quantity of five.

This connector is well suited for residential and light commercial service scenarios where tubing size reductions are required in closed fluid or refrigerant systems. It is a common stock item for HVAC technicians, automotive brake specialists, and plumbing professionals who regularly work with inverted flare line sets. The bulk pack format makes it practical for service trucks and shop inventory.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with inverted flare fitting procedures. Always depressurize and isolate the line before disassembling or installing any flare fitting. Use a properly calibrated flaring tool to ensure the tubing seat matches the fitting cone angle before torquing the nut. Follow applicable system codes and manufacturer guidelines for final connection verification.
