Anderson Metals 54048-0604 Brass Tube Fitting, Half-Union, 3/8" Flare x 1/4" Male Pipe

Excellent fitting! Works as expected.

Used on a propane hose to connect a quick disconnect fitting on it. Easy to use the threads were not banged up and it’s held up for a couple years now and will probably out last the hose.

I used this fitting to modify my factory Camp Chef "Mountain Series" propane-supply connector. The original Camp Chef connector incorporates a 17-psig regulator that connects only to disposable 1-lb propane canisters. In addition, it requires extra space to the right side of the stove for the canister and angled tube - it's a rather clunky arrangement in my opinion. Consequently, I cut off the (proprietary) Camp Chef connector from the tube, and built an adapter using a Swagelok 5/16"-tube to 1/4" FPT fitting along with the 1/4"-MPT to 3/8" male flare fitting sold here. This allowed me to connect directly to a standard bulk-propane hose (using an adjustable 0-30 psig regulator). This new arrangement is an unmitigated success. BTW, I saw on here some complaints from a couple other users that the flare threads for this adapter are somehow cut improperly. This was NOT at all my experience - the part mates perfectly with the 3/8 female flare on my tank hose.

My 5/8 flex gas line requires a 5/8 Flare adapter with a 15/16 thread, which is significantly larger than the thread on this adapter. I had to take my flex line to Home Depot and had the same issue with their 5/8 brass fitting (too small), but their 5/8 steel fitting, marked as "5/8 Flare with 15/16 thread" worked fine. Otherwise, this is a quality fitting.

Picked this up to use with my new Camp Chef stove. I changed the hose to a longer length with a quick connect. Had to use This Anderson Fitting to connect the original Camp Chef hose and regulator to a new matching Quick Connect. To Convert the Original camp Chef hoes and regular so it can connect to the 12' hose so it can still run off a freestanding standard propane BBQ tank when not next to camper. But you do need :Anderson Metals Brass Tube Fitting, Half-Union, 3/8" Flare x 1/4" Male Pipe" to connect the camp chef hose to the Dozyant quick Connect.. Works Great..

Item is solid. Threaded just right and had no problem installing. Was concerned that it was going to be cheaply made but had no issues with wrenches when installing. Very solid piece.

I bought this for a generator propane conversion, couldn't find this fitting at any of the plumbing stores

Connects hoses, worked great! Did not strip, held connection
