Anderson Metals 750068-0302 Compression Tube Connector

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS 750068-0302 is a lead-free brass compression tube connector designed for joining tubing to male NPT threaded fittings in fluid and gas distribution systems. It features a compression inlet and a male NPT outlet, with a 1/8 inch NPT thread size and a straight thread size of 3/8-24. Rated to a maximum working pressure of 400 psi, this connector is built for reliable, leak-resistant connections in plumbing, instrumentation, and light mechanical piping applications. It is installed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians wherever a secure tube-to-pipe transition is required.

This connector is suited for residential and commercial installations where copper or compatible tubing must terminate at a threaded port. Typical applications include control line connections, instrument tubing runs, and low-pressure gas or fluid supply lines. The compression-by-MNPT configuration allows a tool-accessible, re-workable connection without soldering or brazing, making it practical for service and retrofit work in tight spaces.

Key Features

• Lead-free brass construction meets potable water and low-lead compliance requirements
• Compression x MNPT end connections provide a solderless, re-workable joint
• Rated to 400 psi maximum working pressure for dependable service in pressurized systems
• 1/8 inch NPT thread standard ensures compatibility with standard NPT-ported fittings and valves
• Straight thread size of 3/8-24 for precise mechanical engagement
• Compact form factor suits confined installation environments

Compatibility

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

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter. Shut off and depressurize the supply line before removing or installing any compression fitting. Use appropriate tubing cutters and deburring tools to ensure a clean, square tube end before seating the compression nut and ferrule. Follow applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements for fitting selection, pressure rating, and approved materials for the intended service fluid.
