Anderson Metals Corp 714050-0606 90 Degree Flare Elbow

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS CORP 714050-0606 is a 90-degree brass flare elbow fitting designed for gas and fluid piping connections in residential and light commercial applications. It connects a 3/8-inch flare line to a 3/8-inch female iron pipe thread (FIPT) port, making a right-angle transition between the two connection types. This 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 and HVAC technicians working on gas supply lines, water distribution, or refrigeration tubing routinely install this type of fitting.

This elbow is used wherever a 90-degree directional change is needed between a flare-terminated tube and a female iron pipe threaded port. Typical applications include gas appliance supply connections, water heater piping, and HVAC refrigerant or gas line routing. The fitting ships in a package quantity of 10, making it a practical stocking item for service vehicles and shop inventory. It is sold as an individual unit of measure.

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 completely before making or breaking any fitting connections. Apply appropriate thread sealant or tape to the female iron pipe thread connection only — never apply sealant to the flare seat. Inspect the flare seat and tube flare for damage or debris before assembly to ensure a leak-free joint.
