Anderson Metals Corp 714046-0808 Brass Flare Connector

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS CORP 714046-0808 is a brass flare connector designed to join a 1/2 inch flare fitting to a 1/2 inch female pipe thread (FPT) connection. Built from brass, this connector provides a secure, leak-resistant transition between flare and threaded pipe systems. It meets lead-free compliance requirements under Public Law 111-380, making it suitable for potable water and gas applications where lead-free materials are mandated. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and gas fitters commonly install this type of fitting in residential and light commercial systems. Each package contains 10 connectors.

This flare-to-female pipe thread connector is used in natural gas, LP gas, and water supply lines where a flare connection must transition to a threaded female port. Typical applications include connecting copper tubing to valves, appliances, manifolds, or other threaded fittings in HVAC, plumbing, and gas distribution systems. The brass construction resists corrosion and handles the pressure demands of standard residential and light commercial service lines. Its lead-free rating makes it appropriate for installations subject to state and federal potable water regulations.

Installation Notes

This fitting is installed by licensed plumbers or HVAC gas fitters. Shut off the gas or water supply and depressurize the line completely before beginning work. Flare connections require a properly formed flare on the tubing end using a calibrated flare tool — do not overtighten, as brass flare seats can crack. Follow applicable local plumbing codes, IPC, and IFGC requirements for fitting selection, testing, and inspection.
