Anderson Metals 730060-10 Compression Tube Sleeve

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS 730060-10 is a compression tube sleeve designed for use in compression-style tube fittings. Machined from lead free brass, this sleeve seats between the compression nut and the fitting body to create a reliable, leak-resistant seal when the nut is tightened. It is rated for a maximum working pressure of 1500 psi, making it suitable for a wide range of plumbing and fluid-transfer applications. Plumbers and pipefitters install this type of sleeve as part of a complete compression fitting assembly on copper or compatible soft-metal tubing.

This compression sleeve is used in residential and light commercial plumbing systems where compression fittings are specified. Typical applications include supply line connections, fixture installations, and water distribution piping where a soldered or threaded joint is not preferred or practical. The lead free brass construction meets requirements for potable water service. Sold in a package quantity of 3, making it practical to keep spares on hand during a service call or rough-in.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified pipefitters. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before disassembling any compression fitting. The sleeve is positioned over the tubing and seated against the fitting body before the compression nut is hand-tightened and then snugged with a wrench — do not overtighten, as this can deform the sleeve and compromise the seal. Follow all applicable local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines for compression fitting installations in potable water systems.
