Interline Brands is recalling approximately 140,000 ProPlus Brass Flare Swivel fittings used as connectors for copper tubing. These gold-colored brass fittings, primarily used for propane (LP gas) applications, can leak fuel. There have been two reports of these fittings leaking during installation, which can lead to a fire. These items were sold through hardware retailers and professional supply stores between August 2017 and November 2018 for between $1 and $8. Consumers should contact Interline for a full refund or a free replacement fitting.
The brass fittings can leak gas, creating a significant fire hazard if the leaking fuel is ignited. While no injuries have been reported, leaks have been confirmed during the installation process.
Consumers should immediately contact Interline for a full refund or a replacement fitting. Consumers with recalled fittings that have already been installed should contact Interline to arrange for a professional installation of a free replacement fitting.
