Anderson Metals Flare Fitting

Anderson Metals Flare Fittings: Precision Connections You Can Count On

When it comes to creating secure, leak-free connections in fuel lines, refrigeration systems, and fluid transfer applications, the quality of your fittings is everything. Anderson Metals has long been a trusted name in the brass fittings industry, and their line of flare fittings reflects the same commitment to dimensional accuracy and material quality that professionals have come to expect from the brand.

What Are Flare Fittings and Why Do They Matter?

Flare fittings create a metal-to-metal seal by compressing a flared tube end against a matching angled seat inside the fitting body. This design makes them exceptionally well-suited for high-pressure applications — including automotive fuel and brake lines, HVAC and refrigeration systems, propane and natural gas connections, and hydraulic circuits. Because there is no reliance on a rubber seal or gasket, properly installed flare fittings can outperform compression fittings in environments with significant pressure fluctuations or vibration.

Anderson Metals' Approach to Flare Fitting Quality

Anderson Metals manufactures their flare fittings from high-quality brass, chosen for its natural corrosion resistance, machinability, and compatibility with a wide range of media — including fuels, refrigerants, water, and air. Each fitting is precision-machined to meet standard flare angles (typically 45-degree SAE flare), ensuring reliable compatibility with standard flared tubing across industries.

Their catalog includes a practical range of configurations designed to cover the most common plumbing and mechanical scenarios:

• Flare Union Tees — for splitting or combining flow at a branch point
• Flare Elbows — for changing direction in tight spaces without compromising seal integrity
• Flare Couplings and Unions — for straight inline connections and joining two flared tube ends
• Flare-to-Male and Flare-to-Female Adapters — for transitioning between flare and NPT threaded pipe systems
• Flare Caps and Plugs — for safely sealing off unused ports
