Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS CORP 714048-1008 is a brass flare-to-male iron pipe thread connector designed for joining 5/8 inch flare tubing to 1/2 inch male iron pipe thread fittings in gas and fluid distribution systems. Constructed from brass, this connector meets lead-free compliance requirements under Public Law 111-380, making it suitable for potable water and natural gas applications where lead-free materials are required by code. Licensed plumbers and HVAC technicians install this fitting during new construction and service work where flare-to-pipe transitions are needed at appliances, valves, or distribution manifolds.

This connector is used in residential and light commercial plumbing and HVAC installations where a 5/8 inch flare line must transition to a 1/2 inch male iron pipe thread port. Common applications include gas supply connections at water heaters, furnaces, and other gas appliances, as well as refrigerant or fluid lines requiring a flare-to-pipe adapter. It is sold in a package of 10 units, making it practical for service vans and supply replenishment.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or HVAC technician in accordance with applicable local codes, the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC), or the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off the gas or water supply and relieve system pressure before making or breaking any connections. Apply thread sealant approved for the service medium to the male iron pipe threads; do not apply sealant to flare seating surfaces. Flare connections must be made with properly sized flaring tools to ensure a leak-free metal-to-metal seal.
