Anderson Metals 730081-10 Compression Tube End Cap

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS 730081-10 is a lead-free brass compression tube end cap designed to terminate an open compression fitting connection and seal a tube end against fluid or gas flow. It accepts a 13/16-18 straight thread compression connection and is rated for a maximum working pressure of 1500 psi. The lead-free brass construction meets current potable water standards, making this fitting appropriate for plumbing and fluid-handling systems where lead restrictions apply. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this cap during service, system modification, or decommissioning of branch lines that require a secure, pressure-rated termination.

This compression end cap suits residential and light commercial plumbing applications where a compression-style fitting is already in use and a line needs to be capped off cleanly. Typical install scenarios include capping unused supply stubs, terminating branch lines during system reconfiguration, and blanking off ports on manifold assemblies. The compact form factor and single-piece construction make it straightforward to install in tight spaces without special tooling beyond a standard wrench.

Key Features

• Lead-free brass construction meets potable water lead content requirements
• Compression cap end connection for tool-assisted, pressure-rated termination
• 13/16-18 straight thread size for precise thread engagement
• Rated to 1500 psi maximum working pressure
• Compact, single-piece design suitable for confined spaces

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service fitting for compression tube assemblies using a 13/16-18 thread size in residential and commercial plumbing systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter. Shut off and depressurize the supply line and relieve any residual pressure before removing or capping any fitting. Thread engagement should be confirmed hand-tight before applying wrench torque to avoid cross-threading the brass fitting. Installations in potable water systems must comply with applicable local plumbing codes and standards such as the IPC or UPC.
