Anderson Metals Corp 714050-0806 90 Degree Flare Elbow

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS CORP 714050-0806 is a 90-degree flare-to-female iron pipe thread elbow designed for gas and fluid distribution systems in residential and light commercial applications. It transitions a 1/2-inch flare connection to a 3/8-inch female iron pipe thread (FIP) fitting at a right angle. This lead-free compliant fitting meets the requirements of Public Law 111-380, making it suitable for potable water and gas line installations where lead-free standards are mandated. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and gas fitters use this type of elbow when routing copper tubing or gas supply lines in tight spaces that require a 90-degree change of direction.

This fitting is commonly used in residential gas appliance connections, water supply lines, and HVAC refrigerant or gas piping where a directional change is needed between a flare-terminated tube and a threaded pipe fitting. Typical install scenarios include connecting flexible gas connectors to shut-off valves or appliance inlets, and linking copper tubing to iron pipe fittings in confined mechanical spaces. The package quantity is 10 units per package, making it practical for service contractors stocking standard transition fittings.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified gas fitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing and gas codes, including IPC and IFGC guidelines. Shut off the gas or water supply and relieve system pressure before disassembling any existing fittings. Flare connections require a properly flared tube end with no cracks or deformation; do not use thread sealant on the flare side. Apply an approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male iron pipe threads mating with the FIP end before assembly.
