Anderson Metals Corp 738104-04 Red Brass Union 1/4 Inch

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS CORP 738104-04 is a 1/4 inch red brass union designed for use in plumbing and fluid distribution systems where a reliable, demountable pipe connection is required. Red brass construction provides strong resistance to corrosion in both potable water and general plumbing applications. This union meets the lead-free requirements of Public Law 111-380, making it compliant for use in systems that carry drinking water. Licensed plumbers and pipe fitters specify this fitting where code compliance and material durability are both critical.

This union is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing systems, particularly where 1/4 inch pipe connections must be joined, disconnected, or serviced without cutting pipe. It ships in bulk quantities of 5 units per package, making it practical for service vans and supply-house replenishment. Typical installation scenarios include water supply lines, compressed air fittings, and low-pressure fluid systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off water supply and relieve system pressure before removing or installing any union fitting. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to threaded connections as required by the fitting type and local code. Do not overtighten, as red brass fittings can crack under excessive torque.
