Anderson Metals Corp 714049-0604 Flare X Mpt Elbow

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS CORP 714049-0604 is a 3/8 inch flare by 1/4 inch male iron pipe thread (MPT) elbow fitting used to transition a flared copper or soft-metal tubing connection to a threaded pipe fitting at a 90-degree angle. It is a lead free compliant product meeting the requirements of Public Law 111-380, making it suitable for use in potable water and gas distribution systems where lead free compliance is mandated. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and gas fitters install this fitting during new construction or service work when a directional change is needed between a flared line and a threaded port.

This elbow is commonly used in residential and light commercial applications including gas appliance connections, refrigeration line sets, and plumbing supply lines. It is well-suited for installations where a flared tubing run must connect to a 1/4 inch NPT-threaded port on a valve, manifold, or appliance fitting. The carded packaging is intended for counter or peg display, and the package contains 10 pieces per unit of measure.

Key Features

• 3/8 inch flare inlet connection for use with standard flared tubing
• 1/4 inch male iron pipe thread (MPT) outlet for connection to NPT-threaded ports
• 90-degree elbow geometry for directional routing in tight spaces
• Lead free compliant per Public Law 111-380 for potable and gas-rated systems
• Carded packaging with 10 pieces per package for job-site or counter stocking

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for systems requiring a 3/8 inch flare to 1/4 inch male NPT transition at a 90-degree angle, typical in residential gas and plumbing applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or HVAC technician in accordance with applicable local codes, including IFGC and IPC requirements for gas and water systems. Shut off gas supply or water supply and relieve system pressure completely before disassembling or installing fittings. Use an appropriately sized flare tool to ensure the tubing flare seats correctly against the fitting face; do not over-torque the flare nut. Apply thread sealant approved for the service type to the male pipe threads before assembly.
