Anderson Metals Corp 714048-0812 Brass Flare Mpt Connector

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS CORP 714048-0812 is a brass flare-to-male iron pipe thread connector designed for use in gas and fluid piping systems where a 1/2 inch flare fitting meets a 3/4 inch male iron pipe thread (MPT) connection. Machined from lead-free brass, this connector meets the requirements of Public Law 111-380, making it compliant for use in potable water and gas service applications. It is a standard transition fitting used by licensed plumbers and HVAC technicians when adapting flare-end tubing runs to threaded pipe assemblies. Sold in a package of 10 units.

This connector is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing and HVAC installations where copper or soft tubing with a 1/2 inch flare termination must connect to a 3/4 inch male iron pipe thread port on a valve, appliance, or manifold. Typical applications include gas appliance hookups, refrigerant line service ports, and water supply connections where lead-free compliance is required by code. Installers working in jurisdictions that enforce lead-free standards for wetted components will find this fitting directly compliant without additional documentation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or HVAC technician in accordance with applicable local plumbing and mechanical codes. Shut off the gas or water supply and relieve system pressure before disassembling any fittings. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service medium to the male pipe threads before making up the connection. Do not overtighten the flare nut, as brass flare fittings are susceptible to damage from excessive torque.
