Anderson Metals Corp 714070-06 Swivel Flare Connector

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS CORP 714070-06 is a 3/8 inch swivel flare connector designed for flare-to-flare connections in plumbing and refrigeration piping systems. Both ends are flared, and the swivel design allows the fitting to rotate during installation, reducing torque on tubing and making connections in tight spaces more manageable. This connector is lead free compliant and meets the requirements of Public Law 111-380, making it suitable for use in potable water applications where lead-free fittings are required by code. It is typically installed by licensed plumbers and HVAC technicians working with copper tubing systems.

This fitting is used in residential and light commercial applications where a reliable flare connection is needed between two fixed or semi-fixed copper lines. The swivel end allows a wrench to tighten the fitting without twisting the tubing itself, which is especially useful in retrofit or service work where access is limited. Common install scenarios include refrigerant line connections, gas appliance hookups, and potable water supply lines where lead-free compliance is required by local codes.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified HVAC technician in accordance with applicable local plumbing and mechanical codes. Shut off the water supply or refrigerant system and relieve pressure before making any connections. Use a properly sized flare tool to ensure a clean, uniform flare seat before threading the connector — do not overtighten, as this can crack the flare. Verify lead-free compliance requirements with the local authority having jurisdiction prior to installation in potable water systems.
