Anderson Metals Corp 754046-1012 Brass Flare Connector

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS CORP 754046-1012 is a brass flare connector designed to join a 5/8-inch flare fitting to a 3/4-inch female pipe thread (FPT) connection. This fitting is manufactured from brass and meets lead-free compliance requirements under Public Law 111-380, making it suitable for potable water and gas applications where lead-free materials are required. Plumbers and HVAC technicians install this connector when transitioning between flare tubing and threaded pipe in refrigeration, natural gas, propane, or water supply systems. It ships in bulk packaging with a quantity of 5 units per package.

This flare connector is used in residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC, and gas distribution applications. The flare-by-female-pipe-thread configuration is a common connection style when joining copper tubing to threaded pipe or appliance inlets. Typical install scenarios include gas appliance connections, refrigerant line sets, and water supply transitions where a compression-free, mechanically secure flare joint is preferred over soldered or push-fit fittings.

Key Features

• 5/8-inch flare inlet by 3/4-inch female pipe thread outlet configuration
• Brass construction for corrosion resistance and durability in wet and gas environments
• Lead-free compliant per Public Law 111-380, suitable for potable water systems
• Bulk packaging — 5 units per package for service and repair stock
• Flare connection style eliminates the need for solder or adhesive at the flare end

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-use brass flare connector for residential and commercial plumbing or gas piping systems requiring a 5/8-inch flare by 3/4-inch female pipe thread transition fitting.

Installation Notes

Installation of this fitting should be performed by a licensed plumber or HVAC technician in accordance with applicable local codes, including IPC and IFGC requirements. Shut off the gas or water supply and depressurize the line before making or breaking any connections. Ensure the flare is formed correctly using a proper flaring tool — a damaged or out-of-round flare is a common source of leaks. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service medium (gas or water) to the female pipe thread end before assembly.
