Anderson Metals Corp 714049-0806 Flare X Mpt Elbow

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS CORP 714049-0806 is a reducing elbow fitting designed to transition a 1/2 inch flare connection to a 3/8 inch male iron pipe thread (MPT) outlet. This type of fitting is commonly used in gas and refrigeration line installations where a directional change is required between a flared tubing run and a threaded pipe or appliance connection. The fitting is lead free compliant and meets the requirements of Public Law 111-380, making it suitable for use in potable water and gas distribution systems where lead-free materials are mandated. Licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and gas fitters are the primary installers of this fitting.

This elbow is appropriate for residential and light commercial applications involving gas supply lines, refrigerant piping, or water service connections that require a 90-degree directional change between a flared tube and a threaded pipe end. It is sold in a package quantity of 10 units, making it practical for contractors stocking fittings for multiple service calls or new construction rough-in work. The carded retail packaging supports organized storage and point-of-use access on the job.
