Anderson Metals Corp 714049-0406 Flare Mpt Elbow

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS CORP 714049-0406 is a flare-to-male iron pipe thread (MPT) elbow fitting designed to connect a 1/4 inch flare line to a 3/8 inch male iron pipe thread port. This 90-degree transition elbow is used in gas, refrigerant, and fluid distribution lines where a direction change is required between a flared tubing connection and a threaded pipe fitting. The fitting is lead free compliant and meets Public Law 111-380, making it suitable for potable water and regulated gas applications. Licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and gas service professionals install this type of fitting in residential and light commercial systems.

This elbow is commonly used in HVAC refrigerant line assemblies, natural gas and LP gas distribution piping, and plumbing supply connections where a flare-to-pipe-thread transition at a 90-degree angle is required. The 1/4 inch flare inlet connects directly to standard flared copper tubing, while the 3/8 inch MPT outlet threads into a valve body, manifold, or pipe fitting. The package contains 10 pieces per unit, making it practical for service vehicles and shop inventory alike.
