Product Description
The ANDERSON METALS CORP 714040-10 is a 5/8-inch flare cap designed to seal off flare fittings in copper tubing systems. This fitting terminates an open flare end to prevent contamination, pressure loss, or accidental discharge during service, testing, or system decommissioning. Sold in a package of 10, it is compliant with Public Law 111-380, meaning it meets lead-free requirements for potable water and other regulated applications. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and refrigeration mechanics commonly use flare caps when capping unused ports, isolating system sections, or completing rough-in work.
This flare cap is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC refrigerant line work, and gas line applications where a 5/8-inch flare connection needs to be sealed. The lead-free designation makes it appropriate for potable water systems subject to state and federal safe drinking water regulations. Each package contains 10 caps, making it practical for service trucks and supply stock. The carded retail packaging also makes individual units easy to inventory and identify on the shelf.

Installation Notes
Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or HVAC technician. Before installing or removing flare caps on pressurized systems, shut off the supply and relieve system pressure according to local code and manufacturer guidance. Hand-tighten first, then use an appropriately sized wrench to snug the cap without over-torquing the flare seat. Always verify the flare seat is clean and undamaged before capping to ensure a proper seal.
