Anderson Metals 750066-1408 Compression Connector 1/2 in

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS 750066-1408 is a straight compression tube connector designed to join copper or compatible tubing to a female NPT-threaded port. Constructed from lead free brass, this fitting provides a secure, leak-resistant connection in plumbing, HVAC, and instrumentation lines. The compression end accepts tubing and creates a seal by compressing a ferrule against the fitting body, while the female NPT end threads onto a mating male fitting or valve. Maximum working pressure is rated at 750 psi, making it suitable for a wide range of liquid and gas service applications. The fitting weighs 0.32 pounds and packages as a single unit.

This connector is used in residential and light commercial plumbing and HVAC systems where a compression-to-threaded transition is required. Common installation scenarios include connecting copper supply lines to valves, manifolds, and equipment ports with 1/2 inch female NPT inlets. The straight thread size is 1-1/8-18. Licensed plumbers and HVAC technicians typically install this fitting during new construction, retrofits, and service calls requiring a reliable tube-to-threaded joint without soldering.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or HVAC technician. Shut off the water or gas supply and relieve system pressure before beginning work. Hand-tighten the compression nut onto the fitting body, then use an appropriately sized wrench to snug the connection without overtightening, which can damage the ferrule or fitting. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male NPT threads mating to the FNPT end per IPC or IFGC guidelines for the service fluid.
