Anderson Metals 730061-04 Compression Tube Nut Npt

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS 730061-04 is a compression tube nut machined from lead free brass, designed to secure compression fittings in fluid and gas distribution systems. It features a 7/16-24 straight thread with NPT end connections and is rated for a maximum working pressure of 3000 psi. The lead free brass construction meets modern potable water and plumbing code requirements, making it appropriate for water supply, refrigeration, and light pneumatic lines. Plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians install this nut as part of a complete compression fitting assembly when a leak-free mechanical connection is required without soldering or brazing.

This compression tube nut is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC refrigerant lines, and instrumentation tubing applications where NPT-compatible compression connections are specified. It is commonly used in tight spaces or on systems where flame-free installation is required. Sold in a package quantity of 3, it is practical for service calls or installations requiring multiple connections at a single location.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard service component for compression fitting assemblies using 7/16-24 NPT thread specifications in plumbing, HVAC, and fluid distribution systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or HVAC technician. Shut off system pressure and relieve any residual line pressure before disassembling or replacing compression fittings. Hand-tighten the nut onto the fitting body before applying a final snug turn with an appropriately sized wrench — do not overtighten, as brass threads can be damaged. Follow applicable codes including IPC and IFGC for connection type and system pressure requirements.
