Anderson Metals Corp 714042-06 Brass Flare Union 3/8 in

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS CORP 714042-06 is a 3/8-inch by 3/8-inch brass flare union designed to join two flare-end tubing runs in a single inline connection. Constructed from brass and rated as lead free compliant under Public Law 111-380, this fitting is suited for potable water, fuel gas, and refrigeration line applications where a removable, pressure-tight union joint is required. Both ends accept standard flare fittings, making the connection reversible and serviceable without cutting into the line. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and gas service professionals install this type of fitting in residential and light commercial systems.

This flare union is appropriate for use in residential plumbing, natural gas and propane distribution lines, and refrigerant tubing assemblies where a union joint is needed to allow future service disconnection. The 3/8-inch by 3/8-inch configuration fits common tubing sizes found in residential gas appliance connections and small-diameter refrigerant circuits. The package contains 10 units, making it practical for service contractors who need multiple fittings on hand for routine jobs.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or HVAC technician in accordance with applicable local codes, the International Plumbing Code, or the International Fuel Gas Code. Shut off the gas supply or water service and relieve system pressure before disconnecting or installing any flare fitting. Use a properly sized flaring tool to prepare tubing ends, and tighten flare nuts with two wrenches to avoid torquing the body. Do not overtighten, as brass flare seats can deform and cause leaks.
