Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS 730061-10 is a compression tube nut designed for use in plumbing and fluid distribution systems where a secure, leak-resistant mechanical connection is required. Manufactured from lead free brass, this nut meets material requirements for potable water applications. It features a 13/16-18 thread size conforming to NPT standards and is rated for a maximum working pressure of 1500 psi. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting as part of compression-style tube assemblies in residential and light commercial plumbing systems.

This compression tube nut is suited for installation in water supply lines, HVAC hydronic systems, and other fluid-handling assemblies where NPT-threaded compression connections are specified. The lead free brass construction makes it appropriate for potable water service in jurisdictions requiring lead free materials. It is sold in a package quantity of two, making it practical for service calls requiring a replacement pair or a new assembly.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with the International Plumbing Code (IPC) and applicable local codes. Shut off and depressurize the water supply line completely before removing or installing any compression fitting. Use appropriate hand tools to seat the nut against the compression sleeve without over-tightening, which can deform the ferrule or damage the tube. Inspect threads for damage before installation and verify compatibility with the existing compression body and tube outside diameter.
