Anderson Metals Corp 714048-0402 Brass Flare Connector

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS CORP 714048-0402 is a brass flare-to-male iron pipe thread connector designed for joining 1/4 inch flare tubing to 1/8 inch male iron pipe thread (MPT) fittings. This two-piece transition connector is used in gas, refrigeration, and fluid piping systems where a flare compression joint must mate with a threaded pipe port. Manufactured from lead free brass, it meets the requirements of Public Law 111-380, making it compliant for use in potable water and other regulated applications. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and gas fitters install this fitting during new construction and service work.

This connector is suited for residential and light commercial applications involving natural gas, LP gas, refrigerant lines, or water supply piping where a flare fitting must transition to a standard male iron pipe thread port. It is commonly installed at appliance connections, valve bodies, and manifold ports. The fitting ships in a 10-piece carded pack, making it practical for stocking a service van or supply room. Its compact brass construction handles the typical pressures and temperatures found in these piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or HVAC technician in accordance with applicable local codes, IFGC, or IPC requirements. Shut off all gas or water supply and relieve system pressure before removing or installing any fitting. Apply thread sealant rated for the intended service to the male iron pipe threads before assembly. Hand-tighten first, then wrench-tighten to avoid over-stressing the brass fitting body.
