Anderson Metals Corp 754056-1006 Brass Flare Reducing Adapter

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS CORP 754056-1006 is a brass flare reducing union adapter designed to connect two flare fittings of different sizes in a single inline union. It transitions from a 5/8-inch flare connection to a 3/8-inch flare connection, making it a practical solution when field piping requires a size change without adding extra fittings. The body is machined from lead-free brass, meeting the requirements of Public Law 111-380 for lead-free compliance. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and refrigeration mechanics use this adapter in gas, refrigerant, and other fluid piping systems where a reducing flare union is required.

This adapter is suited for residential and light commercial applications involving copper flare tubing. Common install scenarios include connecting dissimilar-diameter copper lines at equipment connections, service valves, or branch transitions. The lead-free brass construction makes it appropriate for potable water systems as well as fuel gas and HVAC refrigerant line applications where flare fittings are specified. It ships in bulk packaging with a package quantity of 5 units per pack.

Key Features

• Reduces from 5/8-inch flare to 3/8-inch flare in a single inline union fitting
• Lead-free brass construction compliant with Public Law 111-380
• Suitable for gas, refrigerant, and potable water flare piping applications
• Bulk packaging — 5 units per package for service inventory stocking
• Machined brass body for reliable seating at both flare connections

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and field-service fitting for copper flare tubing systems requiring a 5/8-inch to 3/8-inch reducing union connection.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber, HVAC technician, or refrigeration mechanic following applicable codes such as the IPC or IFGC. Shut off and depressurize the line before disassembly or fitting installation. Flare connections require properly flared tubing ends and correctly sized flare nuts — do not overtighten, as brass flare seats can crack under excessive torque. Inspect both flare seats for damage or debris before making up the connection.
