Anderson Metals Corp 714049-0606 3/8 Flare X 3/8 Mpt Elbow

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS CORP 714049-0606 is a 3/8 inch flare by 3/8 inch male iron pipe thread (MPT) elbow fitting designed for gas and fluid distribution applications in residential and light commercial plumbing and HVAC systems. This elbow transitions a flare connection to a male pipe thread at a 90-degree angle, allowing directional changes in tubing runs where space or routing demands it. The fitting is lead free compliant and meets the requirements of Public Law 111-380, making it suitable for installations subject to safe drinking water and potable system standards. Plumbers and HVAC technicians keep this type of fitting on hand for routine service and new installations alike.

This elbow is used wherever a flare-to-MPT transition is needed at a directional change in a tubing or pipe system. Common applications include gas appliance connections, refrigerant line work, and potable water or fuel supply lines in residential and light commercial settings. The fitting ships carded in a package quantity of 10, making it practical for stocking a service van or parts room. It is well suited for licensed plumbers and HVAC technicians working on gas lines, copper tubing systems, or similar installations requiring a reliable angled transition fitting.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or HVAC technician in accordance with local code requirements, including applicable sections of the International Plumbing Code or International Fuel Gas Code. Shut off the gas supply or isolate the water or fluid system completely before disassembling any fittings or making new connections. Flare connections require a properly sized flare tool to produce a leak-free seat — never overtighten or cross-thread the fitting. After installation, test all connections for leaks using an approved leak-detection method before returning the system to service.
