Anderson Metals Corp 714050-0808 90 Degree Flare Elbow

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS CORP 714050-0808 is a 90-degree flare elbow fitting designed to transition between a 1/2-inch flare connection and a 1/2-inch female iron pipe thread (FIPT) connection. This fitting is lead free compliant and meets the requirements of Public Law 111-380, making it suitable for potable water and fuel gas applications where lead-free materials are mandated. Plumbers and HVAC technicians install this type of elbow when a hard 90-degree directional change is needed between a flared tubing run and a threaded pipe connection. It is sold in a package quantity of 10 carded units.

This elbow fitting is commonly used in residential and light commercial plumbing and HVAC systems. Typical applications include natural gas and LP gas supply lines, refrigerant-adjacent fuel piping, and potable water distribution where flare-to-pipe transitions are required. The 90-degree angle suits tight-space routing where straight couplings or gradual bends are not practical. Because it meets lead-free compliance standards under Public Law 111-380, it is appropriate for installations subject to state and federal safe drinking water regulations.

Key Features

• 90-degree elbow configuration for directional changes in piping runs
• 1/2-inch flare inlet connects to standard flared copper or brass tubing
• 1/2-inch female iron pipe thread outlet for connection to NPT-threaded fittings and pipe
• Lead free compliant — meets Public Law 111-380 requirements
• Sold in a package of 10 carded units for job-site convenience

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting compatible with standard 1/2-inch flare tubing and 1/2-inch NPT-threaded pipe connections in plumbing and gas piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified HVAC technician in accordance with applicable local codes, the International Plumbing Code (IPC), and the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC). Shut off the gas or water supply and relieve system pressure before disassembling or installing any fittings. Ensure the flare seat is clean and free of nicks before tightening the flare nut, and apply appropriate thread sealant to the NPT threads per local code requirements. Do not overtighten the flare connection, as this can deform the seat and cause leaks.
