Anderson Metals-54046-0806 Brass Tube Fitting, Coupling, 1/2″ Flare x 3/8″ Female Pipe Anderson Metals

Anderson Metals-54046-0806 Brass Tube Fitting, Coupling, 1/2″ Flare x 3/8″ Female Pipe

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.
