Anderson Metals Corp 714039-06 Flare Plug 3/8 Inch

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS CORP 714039-06 is a 3/8-inch flare plug used to cap or seal flare-type fittings in gas and refrigerant line applications. This plug is lead free compliant and meets the requirements of Public Law 111-380, making it suitable for use in systems where low-lead or lead-free materials are required by code. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and gas fitters install this type of plug to terminate unused flare connections, isolate a branch, or temporarily seal a line during service work. The 3/8-inch flare seat matches standard SAE flare fittings common to residential and light commercial systems.

This flare plug is appropriate for use in residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC refrigerant lines, and natural gas or propane distribution piping where a 3/8-inch flare termination is required. It is sold in a package of 10 units and is carded for retail or counter display. Typical install scenarios include capping an unused port on a manifold, sealing a branch line taken out of service, or completing a pressure test setup on a flare-type assembly.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or HVAC technician. Before installing or removing any flare plug on a pressurized system, shut off the supply valve and relieve system pressure in accordance with applicable codes, including IFGC requirements for gas lines and EPA Section 608 regulations for refrigerant-containing systems. Use an appropriately sized flare wrench to avoid deforming the flare seat. Do not overtighten; hand-snug plus a controlled quarter-turn with a wrench is standard practice for flare fittings.
