Both ends accept standard flare fittings, creating a secure, leak-resistant joint without soldering. The fitting is lead free and meets the requirements of Public Law 111-380, making it compliant for use in potable water and other regulated applications. Licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and gas fitters install this union when a removable, field-serviceable connection is needed between two fixed tube runs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis flare union is suited for residential and light commercial installations involving copper tubing in gas supply lines, refrigerant circuits, and plumbing systems. The 1\/4-inch size is common in small-diameter refrigerant lines, LP and natural gas pilot and supply tubing, and similar low-to-medium pressure applications. It ships in a carded package and is sold in a package quantity of 10 units, making it practical for stocking on service vehicles or at supply houses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/4-inch flare inlet and 1\/4-inch flare outlet for same-size tube joining\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFlare connections on both ends eliminate soldering and support field disassembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLead free brass construction compliant with Public Law 111-380\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCarded retail packaging; sold in quantities of 10\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSuitable for gas, refrigerant, and potable water plumbing applications where lead-free compliance is required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 1\/4-inch flare tube connections in residential and light commercial gas, refrigerant, and plumbing piping systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber, HVAC technician, or gas fitter in accordance with applicable local codes, the International Fuel Gas Code, or the International Plumbing Code. Shut off gas or fluid supply and depressurize the line before disassembly or installation. Use a properly sized flaring tool to prepare tube ends before making up the connection; damaged or out-of-spec flares are the most common cause of leaks at union joints. Do not over-tighten the union nuts, as brass threads can be damaged by excessive torque.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInlet Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4 inches flare\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutlet Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4 inches flare\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Flare both ends\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLead Free Compliance\u003c\/strong\u003e: Meets Public Law 111-380\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 10 per package\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.4 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: ANDERSON METALS CORP\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 714042-04\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ANDERSON METALS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51558259884338,"sku":"714042-04","price":32.58,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/d8a8c15e181edd7a62d0c72091f24cc2.jpg?v=1786407667","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/anderson-metals-corp-714042-04-brass-flare-union-1-4-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
