Anderson Metals Corp 754044-05 Brass Flare Tee 5/16 in

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS CORP 754044-05 is a 5/16-inch brass flare tee fitting designed for use in refrigeration, HVAC, and fluid-handling systems where a reliable three-way flare connection is required. Constructed from lead-free brass, it meets the requirements of Public Law 111-380, making it compliant for use in potable water and other lead-free-mandated applications. The tee configuration allows a single supply line to branch into two outlet paths without the need for additional adapters. HVAC technicians, plumbers, and refrigeration mechanics install this fitting in copper tubing systems using standard flare tooling.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial applications involving 5/16-inch copper or compatible tubing. Typical install scenarios include refrigerant line branching, fuel gas distribution, and hydronic or potable water systems where lead-free compliance is required by code. It is sold in bulk packaging with a package quantity of 5 pieces per unit.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber, HVAC technician, or refrigeration mechanic familiar with flare fitting procedures. Shut off and depressurize the system fully before cutting or disconnecting any tubing. Use a quality flaring tool to produce a smooth, uniform flare cone before seating the fitting — a poor flare is the leading cause of leaks at these connections. Follow all applicable local codes, including IPC and IFGC provisions for fitting materials in potable water or gas service.
