Anderson Metals Corp 54748-1508 Flare Mpt Gas Adapter

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS CORP 54748-1508 is a flare-to-male pipe thread gas fitting adapter designed to connect a 15/16 inch flare fitting to a 1/2 inch male pipe thread (MPT) port. This adapter is used in gas supply lines where a flare-type connection must transition to a threaded pipe fitting. It is a bulk-packaged component typically installed by licensed plumbers and HVAC technicians working on natural gas or LP gas distribution systems. The adapter provides a reliable mechanical joint at the transition point between flared tubing and threaded pipe, making it a standard fitting in residential and light commercial gas piping work.

This adapter is suited for gas fitting applications in residential and light commercial installations where 15/16 inch flare tubing terminates at a 1/2 inch threaded port on a valve, appliance connector, or manifold. It is commonly used during new appliance installations, gas line extensions, or service repairs. The bulk packaging of 10 units per package makes it practical for service contractors who install or replace multiple fittings per job.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or HVAC technician in accordance with local gas codes and IFGC requirements. Shut off the gas supply and verify zero pressure at the line before making or breaking any fitting connection. Apply an approved gas-rated thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for gas service to the male pipe threads before assembly. Do not overtighten flare connections — use a backup wrench to avoid twisting the tubing.
