  • Brass for corrosion resistance, ductility at high temperatures, and low magnetic permeability
  • Operating temperature range of -65 to +250 degrees F

  • These fittings contain lead and are not allowed by federal law to be installed for potable water use in the U.S.A. and its territories.


This Anderson Metals 90-degree elbow compression tube fitting is made of brass, has a flared tube connection and a male 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 90-degree elbow fitting, or "ell," connects two tubes at a 90-degree angle to change the direction of flow between tubes. It has a flared tube connection on one end for connecting to a flared tube and a male National Pipe Taper (NPT) connection on the other end to connect to a female NPT threaded tube, creating a tighter seal than straight threads. This fitting can be used with copper, brass, aluminum, or steel tubing and 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 90-degree elbow 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.

**Anderson Metals - 54049-0608 Brass Tube Fitting, 90 Degree Elbow****Perfect for Reconfiguring My Blackstone Griddle to a Larger Gas Tank**I recently used the Anderson Metals 54049-0608 Brass Tube Fitting to reconfigure the gas hose setup on my Blackstone griddle, allowing me to connect it to a larger propane tank. This fitting was exactly what I needed to get the job done, and it worked flawlessly.**What I Liked:**- **High-Quality Brass Construction**: The fitting is made from solid brass, which gives it a sturdy, durable feel. I was confident that it would hold up well under pressure and provide a secure connection between the hose and the propane tank. The brass also ensures resistance to corrosion, which is important for outdoor use where it will be exposed to the elements.- **Perfect Fit**: The 90-degree elbow design with a 3/8" flare x 1/2" male pipe was exactly what I needed to make the connection between my griddle’s hose and the larger propane tank. The threads were precise, and the fitting screwed on smoothly without any issues. It provided a tight, leak-free connection, which is crucial for safe operation.- **Easy to Install**: Installing this fitting was a breeze. I simply unscrewed the old fitting, attached this one, and connected the hose to the larger propane tank. The 90-degree angle was particularly useful in directing the hose where I needed it to go without any awkward bends or kinks.- **Versatile Use**: While I used this fitting specifically for my Blackstone griddle, it’s versatile enough to be used in a variety of applications involving gas lines and other setups where a 90-degree elbow is needed. Its reliable performance makes it a great addition to any DIY or repair toolkit.- **No Leaks or Issues**: After reconfiguring the setup, I tested the connection for leaks and found none. The fitting performed perfectly, allowing the griddle to operate smoothly with the larger propane tank. This peace of mind is invaluable, especially when dealing with gas connections.**What I Didn’t Like:**- **Requires Proper Tools for Installation**: While the installation is straightforward, you do need the right tools to ensure a tight and secure fit. A good set of wrenches is necessary to avoid stripping the threads or damaging the fitting. This is standard for most fittings, but something to be aware of if you’re not used to working with gas lines.- **Limited Availability in Some Stores**: Depending on where you shop, this specific fitting might not be available in local stores, meaning you might need to order it online. This wasn’t a major issue for me, but it’s worth considering if you need the fitting quickly.**Bottom Line:**The Anderson Metals 54049-0608 Brass Tube Fitting was exactly what I needed to reconfigure the gas hose setup on my Blackstone griddle. Its high-quality brass construction, perfect fit, and easy installation made the process smooth and hassle-free. The fitting provided a secure, leak-free connection to a larger propane tank, enhancing the usability of my griddle. If you’re looking to make a similar upgrade or need a reliable fitting for any gas-related project, this 90-degree elbow is a fantastic choice. It’s a great addition to any DIY toolkit, and I’m very pleased with its performance.
