Anderson Metals Corp 754070-08 Brass Flare Swivel Nut 1/2 in

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS CORP 754070-08 is a 1/2-inch brass flare swivel nut designed for use in flare-type tube fittings commonly found in gas, refrigeration, and plumbing systems. Constructed from lead-free brass and compliant with Public Law 111-380, this swivel nut meets current safe drinking water standards. The swivel design allows the nut to rotate freely during tightening, reducing the risk of twisting or stressing the connected tubing. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and gas fitters rely on this type of fitting where a leak-free flare connection is required at a service point or appliance connection.

This flare swivel nut is suited for residential and light commercial applications involving copper or aluminum flare tubing. Typical uses include gas appliance connections, refrigerant line sets, and potable water supply lines where lead-free compliance is required. Sold in a pack of 5 individual units, making it a practical choice for service vans and contractors who need spares on hand for recurring flare fitting work.
