It is designed to secure compression fittings in fluid and gas distribution lines, providing a reliable mechanical seal at the tubing joint. The nut is rated to a maximum working pressure of 1000 psi, making it suitable for a wide range of plumbing and mechanical piping applications. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this type of hardware when assembling or maintaining compression-style tubing connections. The lead free brass construction meets modern potable water compliance requirements and resists corrosion in wet service environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis compression tube nut is appropriate for residential and light commercial plumbing systems, hydronic heating lines, refrigeration piping, and other fluid-handling assemblies that use NPT-threaded compression fittings. It is sold individually and is suited for both new installation and field repair work where a replacement or additional nut is needed at a compression joint. The straight thread size of 1-18 determines compatibility with the mating fitting body and tubing OD, so verify thread specification before installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLead free brass construction meets potable water compliance standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNPT end connections for standard threaded system integration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum working pressure of 1000 psi for demanding service conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStraight thread size 1-18 for precise mating with compatible compression fitting bodies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact, single-piece hardware sold individually for targeted repair or assembly use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a replacement or supplemental compression tube nut for NPT compression fitting assemblies with a straight thread size of 1-18.

Shut off and depressurize the line completely before disassembling any compression fitting. Hand-tighten the nut onto the fitting body first, then use an appropriately sized wrench to achieve a snug, leak-free seat without over-torquing the brass threads. Follow applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements for pressure testing after reassembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Compression Tube Nut\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Lead Free Brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Connections\u003c\/strong\u003e: NPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Working Pressure\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1000 psi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStraight Thread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-18\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.09 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: ANDERSON METALS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 730061-12\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ANDERSON METALS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51722299670834,"sku":"730061-12","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/19a766ebc3a5b79eead2dddd8074505b_3a0ae913-1ea0-4a29-bdca-36f7f0325885.jpg?v=1788588886","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/anderson-metals-730061-12-compression-tube-nut-npt","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
