Anderson Metals Corp 714049-0608 Flare Mpt Elbow

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS CORP 714049-0608 is a 3/8-inch flare by 1/2-inch male iron pipe thread (MPT) elbow fitting designed for gas and fluid distribution systems in residential and light commercial applications. This brass elbow transitions a flare connection to a threaded male pipe connection at a 90-degree angle, allowing directional changes in tubing runs where space or routing constraints require it. The fitting is lead free compliant and meets the requirements of Public Law 111-380, making it suitable for potable water and gas service in jurisdictions that enforce lead-free standards. It is a stock fitting commonly installed by licensed plumbers and HVAC technicians.

This elbow is used in gas supply lines, refrigeration piping, and water distribution systems where a 3/8-inch flare line must connect to a 1/2-inch male iron pipe thread port. Typical installation scenarios include connecting flexible gas tubing to appliance valves, manifolds, or shutoff fittings. The fitting is sold in a package of 10 units, making it practical for contractors stocking service vans or completing multi-unit installs. It arrives carded for organized inventory or point-of-use storage.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified 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 rated for the service type to the male pipe threads before assembly. Do not overtighten the flare nut, as this can distort the flare seat and cause leaks.
