Anderson Metals 754048-0404 Pipe Fitting, Flare Connector, Lead Free Brass, 1/4 X 1/4 In. Mpt

The Anderson Metals 754048-0404 is a lead-free brass flare connector that joins 1/4-inch flare tubing to 1/4-inch male pipe thread ports. This two-piece fitting features a flare nut and body that work together to create a reliable, leak-free seal. It is used in plumbing, fuel equipment, gases, refrigeration, and vacuum line applications where secure connections are critical.

Flare connectors resist mechanical pullout and maintain their seal through repeated assembly and disassembly cycles without losing effectiveness. The lead-free brass construction makes it suitable for regulated plumbing and fuel system applications. The fitting connects and disconnects easily and can be reassembled many times with no effect on the seal.
