Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS CORP 714048-0806 is a brass flare-to-male iron pipe thread connector used to join 1/2-inch flare tubing to 3/8-inch male iron pipe thread fittings in gas, refrigeration, and plumbing applications. Machined from lead-free brass, this connector meets Public Law 111-380 lead-free compliance standards, making it suitable for potable water systems where required. It arrives carded and is sold in a package of 10 units. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and gas fitters install this fitting to transition between flare and threaded connections in tight service situations.

This connector is well suited for residential and light commercial installations involving gas supply lines, LP or natural gas appliances, refrigeration tubing, or copper water supply lines. The 1/2-inch flare end accepts standard flared copper tubing, while the 3/8-inch male iron pipe thread end connects to threaded pipe, valves, or fittings. It is commonly used when connecting flexible gas connectors or refrigerant lines to threaded manifolds, valves, or equipment ports.
