Anderson Metals Corp 54746-1508 Flare X Fpt Gas Adapter

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS CORP 54746-1508 is a gas fitting adapter designed to transition from a 15/16-inch flare connection to a 1/2-inch female pipe thread (FPT) port. This fitting is used in gas distribution systems where a flared tubing line must connect to a threaded pipe fitting or appliance inlet. The adapter is sold in bulk packs of 10 units, making it practical for service vans or shop stock. Licensed plumbers and gas fitters install this type of adapter when terminating flexible gas connectors or copper tubing runs at appliances, manifolds, or meter sets.

This adapter is suited for residential and light commercial gas piping applications. Typical install scenarios include connecting flexible gas connector lines to appliance shutoff valves, manifold blocks, or gas train inlets where the tubing terminates in a flare and the receiving port is female NPT. The bulk packaging supports service contractors who regularly stock fittings for natural gas and propane system work.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or gas fitter in accordance with local codes and the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC). Shut off the gas supply and verify zero pressure at the line before making or breaking any connections. Apply appropriate thread sealant rated for gas service to the NPT threads only — never apply sealant to flare seating surfaces. Pressure-test all connections after assembly per applicable code requirements.
