Anderson Metals Corp 714049-0404 Flare Mipt Elbow

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS CORP 714049-0404 is a 1/4 inch flare by 1/4 inch male iron pipe thread (MIPT) elbow fitting used to change direction in flare-connected gas or refrigerant line assemblies. It is a lead free compliant fitting that meets the requirements of Public Law 111-380, making it suitable for installations where lead free materials are required by code. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and gas fitters use this elbow when a 90-degree directional change is needed between a flare tubing connection and a threaded pipe fitting. The fitting is packaged on a card and sold in units of 10.

This elbow is a standard component in residential and light commercial gas piping, refrigerant line, and fuel supply applications. It connects soft copper or aluminum tubing terminated with a flare nut on one end to a 1/4 inch male iron pipe thread on the other. Typical install scenarios include connecting appliance supply lines, LP or natural gas service connections, and HVAC refrigerant line sets where a directional transition to NPT-threaded fittings is required.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, or gas fitters depending on the application and local jurisdiction. Shut off the gas supply or recover refrigerant before breaking any line connection. Hand-tighten the flare nut fully before applying a wrench, and apply thread sealant rated for the service type to the male pipe threads per manufacturer and code requirements. Flare connections must be made with properly flared tubing to ensure a leak-free seal — inspect the flare face before assembly.
