Anderson Metals Corp 714070-08 Swivel Flare Connector

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS CORP 714070-08 is a 1/2-inch swivel flare connector designed for use in gas and fluid distribution systems where a flexible, rotatable connection point is required. The fitting features flare ends on both sides, allowing the swivel action to ease alignment during installation without twisting the supply line. It meets the lead-free compliance requirements of Public Law 111-380, making it suitable for potable water and regulated gas applications. Licensed plumbers and HVAC technicians handling refrigerant or gas lines are the primary installers of this fitting type.

This connector is used in residential and light commercial plumbing and HVAC applications where a 1/2-inch flare connection is required at both ends. The swivel feature is particularly useful in tight spaces where rotating the fitting body, rather than the tubing, simplifies final assembly. It is sold in a carded package with a quantity of 10 units per package, making it a practical choice for service contractors stocking standard fittings.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or HVAC technician in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off the water supply or isolate the gas line and relieve pressure before making or breaking any flare connection. Use an appropriately sized flare nut wrench to avoid rounding fittings, and inspect the flare seat for damage before assembly. Do not overtighten flare connections, as this can deform the flare seat and cause leaks.
