Anderson Metals 750068-0202 Compression Tube Connector

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS 750068-0202 is a lead free brass compression tube connector designed to join tubing to a male NPT threaded port in a single inline fitting. It uses a compression fitting on one end and a male NPT thread on the other, making it suitable for creating leak-resistant connections in plumbing, refrigeration, and instrumentation lines. The 1/8 inch NPT thread size and 400 psi maximum working pressure rating make it a reliable choice for low-to-medium pressure service applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the typical installers for this type of fitting.

This connector is used in residential and light commercial plumbing and tubing systems where a transition from compression tubing to a male NPT threaded port is required. Common applications include water supply lines, pneumatic control lines, and instrument tubing connections. The compression-by-male-NPT configuration simplifies field connections by eliminating the need for soldering or flaring at the tubing end.

Key Features

• Lead free brass construction meets drinking water safe material standards
• Compression x MNPT end connections for tool-friendly, no-solder assembly
• 1/8 inch NPT thread size for compatibility with standard NPT ports
• Rated to 400 psi maximum working pressure
• Straight thread size 5/16-24 for precise mechanical engagement
• Compact single-piece connector body for tight installation spaces

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for systems using 1/8 inch NPT male threaded ports with compression tubing connections in plumbing, HVAC, and instrumentation applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC and local plumbing codes. Shut off the water or fluid supply and relieve system pressure before removing or installing any compression fitting. Hand-tighten the compression nut before applying a final turn with a wrench to seat the ferrule without over-compressing the tubing. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to the NPT threads before making the threaded connection.
