Anderson Metals Corp 754049-0808 Brass Flare Elbow

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS CORP 754049-0808 is a brass flare elbow fitting designed to connect 1/2 inch flare tubing to a 1/2 inch male pipe thread (MPT) at a 90-degree angle. Constructed from lead-free brass, this fitting meets the requirements of Public Law 111-380, making it compliant for use in potable water and other lead-free applications. It is sized for standard 1/2 inch flare connections and is sold in bulk packs of 5. Plumbers and HVAC technicians regularly use flare elbows to transition direction in copper or flexible tubing runs where solder or press connections are not practical.

This flare elbow is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, refrigeration, and HVAC gas or fluid line applications where a directional change is needed between a flared tubing end and a threaded pipe connection. The 1/2 inch flare by 1/2 inch MPT configuration is a common size in refrigerant lines, natural gas supply piping, and potable water systems. Its bulk packaging makes it practical for service contractors stocking fittings for multiple jobs.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or HVAC technician in accordance with applicable local codes, IPC, and IFGC requirements. Shut off the water or gas supply and relieve system pressure before disassembling or installing any flare fitting. Use a properly sized flaring tool to ensure a leak-free flare seat, and do not overtighten the flare nut, which can crack or distort the flare. Apply thread sealant rated for the service medium to the MPT threads before assembly.
