Anderson Metals Corp 754049-0806 Brass Flare Elbow

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS CORP 754049-0806 is a brass flare elbow fitting designed to connect a 1/2-inch flare line to a 3/8-inch male pipe thread (MPT) port. This elbow transitions between flare and threaded connections at a 90-degree angle, making it well suited for tight-space installations where a straight fitting will not clear surrounding components. Constructed from brass, it meets lead-free compliance requirements under Public Law 111-380. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and gas fitters install this type of fitting in refrigerant lines, fuel gas systems, and potable water applications where both connection styles must be joined.

This flare elbow is used in residential and light commercial installations wherever a 1/2-inch flare tubing run must terminate at a 3/8-inch male pipe thread port. Common install scenarios include appliance gas connections, refrigerant line sets, and water supply hookups requiring a directional change at the fitting. Its compact elbow geometry helps route tubing cleanly in confined mechanical spaces such as equipment cabinets, utility chases, and under-counter installations.

Key Features

• 1/2-inch flare inlet connects directly to standard 1/2-inch flare tubing
• 3/8-inch male pipe thread outlet mates with standard NPT female fittings
• Brass construction provides corrosion resistance for gas, refrigerant, and water service
• Lead-free compliant per Public Law 111-380, suitable for potable water systems
• 90-degree elbow geometry allows direction changes in confined spaces
• Sold in bulk pack of 5 units

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for systems requiring a 1/2-inch flare to 3/8-inch male pipe thread transition in brass construction.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber, HVAC technician, or gas fitter in accordance with applicable local codes, the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC), or the International Plumbing Code (IPC) as appropriate. Shut off the gas supply or water supply and relieve system pressure before disassembling any existing fittings. Flare connections require a properly formed flare on the tubing end — inspect the flare seat for cracks or distortion before assembly. Do not over-tighten the flare nut, as brass flare seats can deform and leak.
