Anderson Metals – 54046-0604 Brass Tube Fitting, Coupling, 3/8″ Flare x 1/4″ Female Pipe
Size:3/8″ Flare x 1/4″ NPT Female This Anderson Metals coupling compression
tube fitting is made of brass, has a flared tube connection and a female NPT
connection, and is suitable for use with fuel and gas systems. It is made of
brass for corrosion resistance, ductility at high temperatures, and low
magnetic permeability. This fitting can be used with copper, brass, aluminum,
or steel tubing to connect two tubes of the same diameter in a straight run.
It has a flared tube connection on one end and a female National Pipe Taper
(NPT) connection on the other, creating a tighter seal than straight threads.
This fitting is part of an assembly that resists mechanical pullout for a more
secure connection, and can be assembled and reassembled without affecting the
seal. This coupling compression tube fitting has an operating temperature
range of -65 to +250 degrees F and is suitable for use with fuel and gas
systems, plumbing, refrigeration, and vacuum applications.Tube fittings are
components used for connecting, branching, terminating, and changing the
direction of tubing in pneumatic and hydraulic systems. They are made of
brass, stainless steel, PBT (polybutylene terephthalate), and other materials
that resist corrosion and wear. Tube fittings have various types of
connections, including threaded, welded, barbed, and push-to-connect (also
called one-touch). Push-to-connect connections do not require tools or
sealants. Tube fittings are used in various applications, including machine
tools, airplane and truck controls, and automated production lines, among
others.Anderson Metals manufactures brass fittings, valves, and pipe nipples.
The company, founded in 1951, is headquartered in Kansas City, MO.
