This Anderson Metals flare connector joins tubing and pipe in fuel systems, plumbing, refrigeration, gas lines, and vacuum applications. The fitting combines a 1/4 inch flare end with a 1/8 inch male pipe thread (MPT), allowing you to connect copper, brass, aluminum, or steel tubing to threaded ports. Lead-free brass construction makes this a compliant product for environmentally responsible use.
The two-piece design—nut and body—resists mechanical pullout and can be disassembled and reassembled many times without compromising the seal. Available in both short-nut and long-nut configurations, so you can choose the right option for your application, whether it's standard installations or high-vibration environments.
