Anderson Metals 730061-05 Compression Tube Nut Npt Brass

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS 730061-05 is a lead-free brass compression tube nut designed for use in compression fitting assemblies on fluid-carrying lines. It threads onto a compression fitting body to secure tubing in place and create a leak-resistant seal. With a 1/2-24 NPT thread size and a maximum working pressure of 3000 psi, this nut is built for demanding plumbing and fluid-system applications. Each package contains 3 nuts. The lead-free brass construction meets requirements for potable water systems where lead-free materials are mandated. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers of this type of fitting hardware.

This compression tube nut is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing systems, hydraulic lines, and fluid-transfer assemblies that use NPT-threaded compression fittings. It is commonly installed on copper or compatible tubing runs where a secure, removable mechanical connection is required. The 3000 psi maximum working pressure rating makes it appropriate for higher-pressure fluid applications beyond standard household service lines.

Key Features

• 1/2-24 NPT thread size for standard compression fitting assemblies
• 3000 psi maximum working pressure rating

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service nut for compression fitting assemblies using 1/2-24 NPT threads in plumbing and fluid-system applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before disassembling any compression fitting. Hand-tighten the nut onto the fitting body before applying a wrench, and do not overtighten, as brass threads can be damaged by excessive torque. Work must comply with applicable local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code where adopted.
