Anderson Metals Corp 754048-1012 Brass Flare Connector

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS CORP 754048-1012 is a brass flare connector designed for joining 5/8 inch flare tubing to 3/4 inch male pipe thread (MPT) fittings in gas and refrigerant piping systems. Constructed from lead-free brass in compliance with Public Law 111-380, this connector meets the requirements for use in potable water and fuel gas applications where lead-free materials are mandated. The fitting ships in bulk quantities of 5 units per package, making it a practical stock item for service vans and supply rooms. HVAC technicians and plumbers rely on this style of connector for transitioning between flare-end copper tubing and threaded pipe assemblies.

This flare connector is suited for residential and light commercial HVAC, refrigeration, and plumbing installations where a flare-to-male-pipe-thread transition is required. Typical applications include connecting copper refrigerant or gas supply lines to appliance shutoff valves, manifolds, or threaded ports on equipment such as furnaces, water heaters, and gas appliances. The 5/8 inch flare end accepts standard SAE 45-degree flare fittings, while the 3/4 inch MPT end threads directly into standard NPT female ports.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or HVAC technician in accordance with applicable local codes, IFGC, or IPC requirements. Shut off all gas or water supply and relieve system pressure before disassembling or installing any flare fittings. Use a properly sized flaring tool to ensure the copper tubing end is prepared to a consistent 45-degree flare before tightening the fitting. Do not overtighten; apply thread sealant approved for the service medium to the MPT threads only, keeping sealant away from the flare seat.
