Anderson Metals 7040480606 Lead-Free Brass Half Union Fitting 3/8" SAE Flare x 3/8" Male NPT

The Anderson Metals 7040480606 is a lead-free brass half union adapter fitting from the LF 7408 series, designed to connect 3/8" outside diameter tubing with a 45-degree SAE flare connection to 3/8" male NPT threaded pipe. This versatile fitting is ideal for fresh water systems, fuel lines, natural gas, refrigeration, and vacuum applications.

Key Features:

• Lead-free brass construction meets federal regulations for potable water use
• 3/8" OD SAE 45-degree flare connection on one end
• 3/8" male NPT (National Pipe Taper) threads on the other end for secure sealing
• Corrosion-resistant brass provides durability in indoor and outdoor applications
• Operating temperature range of -65°F to +250°F
• Leak-proof sealing with extended lifespan
• Compatible with copper, brass, aluminum, and steel tubing

This half union fitting allows for easier connection and disconnection of tubes compared to standard couplings, making maintenance and repairs more convenient. The 45-degree flare design creates a tighter seal than straight threads, while the brass construction offers excellent ductility at high temperatures and low magnetic permeability. Suitable for plumbing, HVAC, fuel systems, and refrigeration applications.
