Anderson Metals Corp 714040-06 Flare Cap 3/8 Inches

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS CORP 714040-06 is a 3/8-inch flare cap designed to seal open flare fittings in gas and refrigerant piping systems. It provides a secure, leak-resistant termination point on unused or temporarily inactive flare connections. This fitting is lead free compliant and meets the requirements of Public Law 111-380, making it suitable for potable water applications where low-lead standards apply. Sold in a carded pack of 10, the 714040-06 is a standard stocking item for plumbers, HVAC technicians, and refrigeration mechanics who regularly cap off flare lines during service, retrofit, or new installation work.

This flare cap is used wherever a 3/8-inch flare fitting requires a sealed termination. Common applications include capping refrigerant suction or liquid lines during equipment changeouts, sealing gas piping stubs during rough-in, and protecting open flare connections on water supply lines. The lead free designation makes it appropriate for use in residential and light commercial plumbing systems subject to low-lead compliance requirements under federal law.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and service fitting for standard 3/8-inch flare connections in residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC, and refrigeration piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or HVAC-R technicians depending on the application. Before capping any line, shut off and isolate the supply, and relieve pressure from the line being capped. Hand-tighten the flare cap first, then use a flare nut wrench to achieve a snug, leak-free fit without overtightening the fitting. For refrigerant lines, verify the system is properly recovered before capping open fittings.
