Anderson Metals Corp 714046-0812 Brass Flare Connector

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS CORP 714046-0812 is a brass flare-to-female pipe thread connector designed for joining 1/2 inch flare tubing to 3/4 inch female pipe thread fittings in gas, refrigeration, and plumbing applications. Constructed from brass, this connector meets lead-free requirements under Public Law 111-380, making it suitable for potable water and fuel gas systems where lead-free compliance is mandated. It is installed by licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and gas fitters working on copper tube assemblies that require a reliable, leak-resistant mechanical connection between flared tubing and threaded pipe.

This connector is used in residential and light commercial applications where copper flare tubing transitions to a female NPT fitting on valves, manifolds, appliances, or distribution lines. Typical installations include natural gas and LP supply lines, refrigerant piping, and water supply connections. The carded retail packaging makes it appropriate for both wholesale trade distribution and individual service calls requiring a single fitting.

Key Features

• 1/2 inch flare inlet to 3/4 inch female pipe thread outlet configuration
• Brass construction for corrosion resistance and durability in gas and water service
• Lead-free compliant per Public Law 111-380 for potable water and fuel gas applications
• Package quantity of 10 units per pack for shop stock or job-site supply

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-service fitting for systems using 1/2 inch flare copper tubing transitioning to 3/4 inch female NPT threaded connections in gas, refrigeration, or plumbing installations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber, HVAC technician, or gas fitter in accordance with applicable codes including the IFGC and IPC. Shut off the gas or water supply and depressurize the line before making or breaking any connections. The flare nut should be hand-tightened first, then torqued to the fitting manufacturer-recommended procedure using two wrenches to prevent fitting rotation and tubing stress. Inspect the flare seat and threads for damage before assembly to ensure a leak-free joint.
