Anderson Metals Corp 714049-1008 Flare Mpt Elbow

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS CORP 714049-1008 is a 90-degree flare-to-male iron pipe thread (MPT) elbow fitting designed to transition a 5/8-inch flare connection to a 1/2-inch male iron pipe thread. It is used in gas and refrigerant piping systems where a directional change is needed between a flared tubing run and a threaded pipe connection. This fitting is lead free compliant and meets the requirements of Public Law 111-380, making it suitable for installations subject to lead-free mandates. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and gas fitters install this type of fitting during new construction and service work on residential and light commercial systems.

This elbow fitting is suited for applications that require a 90-degree change in direction between a soft copper or compatible tubing flare and a standard 1/2-inch male iron pipe thread outlet. Typical install scenarios include gas appliance connections, refrigerant line sets, and LP or natural gas supply piping where code requires lead-free components. The carded packaging makes it appropriate for counter or peg-board stocking at supply houses. The fitting ships in a package quantity of five units.

Installation Notes

This fitting is installed by licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, or gas fitters in accordance with applicable local codes, IFGC, and IPC requirements. Shut off gas supply or recover refrigerant and depressurize the system completely before removing or installing any fittings. Use an appropriately sized flare nut wrench on the flare connection to avoid deforming the fitting body, and apply approved thread sealant or tape to the male iron pipe thread before assembly. Do not overtighten the flare nut, as this can crack or distort the flare seat.
