Anderson Metals Corp 714046-0612 Brass Flare Connector

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS CORP 714046-0612 is a brass flare connector designed to join a 3/8 inch flare fitting to a 3/4 inch female iron pipe thread (FIPT) connection. Built from lead-free brass in compliance with Public Law 111-380, this connector meets current safe drinking water standards and is suitable for potable water, natural gas, and LP gas applications. It transitions between flare-style tubing connections and standard female pipe thread ports, making it a practical adapter fitting for a range of plumbing and gas line installations. Licensed plumbers and gas fitters are the primary installers. This SKU is packaged as a carded unit and sold in quantities of 10 per package.

This connector is commonly used in residential and light commercial plumbing and gas distribution systems where copper tubing terminates at a threaded port on a valve, appliance, or manifold. The 3/8 inch flare end accepts standard flare-type copper tubing, while the 3/4 inch FIPT end threads onto a male pipe fitting or equipment port. Typical applications include gas appliance connections, water supply lines, and HVAC refrigerant-adjacent plumbing where a flare-to-pipe-thread transition is required.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified gas fitter in accordance with applicable local codes, the International Plumbing Code (IPC), or the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC). Shut off the water or gas supply and depressurize the line before making or breaking any connections. Apply appropriate thread sealant or tape to the pipe thread end only — never apply sealant to the flare seating surface. Ensure the flare is properly formed and fully seated before tightening to avoid leaks.
