Anderson Metals Corp 738104-12 Red Brass Union 3/4 in

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS CORP 738104-12 is a 3/4-inch red brass union designed for joining and disconnecting threaded pipe sections in plumbing and mechanical systems. Red brass construction provides strong resistance to dezincification and corrosion, making this fitting suitable for water service, low-pressure steam, and general plumbing lines. The union meets lead-free compliance requirements under Public Law 111-380, making it appropriate for potable water installations where lead-free fittings are mandated by code. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers. Sold in bulk quantities of 5 units per package.

This union is well-suited for residential and light commercial plumbing applications where a threaded, separable pipe connection is needed. Common install scenarios include water supply lines, boiler connections, and mechanical room piping where future serviceability is a priority. The 3/4-inch size fits standard Schedule 40 threaded pipe of the same nominal diameter. Its lead-free rating makes it a code-compliant choice for domestic water systems in all jurisdictions that have adopted Public Law 111-380 standards.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before removing or installing any union fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to all male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten; use proper pipe wrenches sized for the fitting to avoid cracking the brass body.
