Anderson Metals 750068-0406 Compression Tube Connector

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS 750068-0406 is a straight compression tube connector designed to join compression tubing to a male NPT threaded port. Built from lead free brass, this fitting delivers a reliable, leak-resistant connection in plumbing, refrigeration, and fluid-handling applications where a compression-to-MNPT transition is required. It carries a maximum working pressure of 3000 psi, making it suitable for demanding service conditions. The 3/8 inch NPT thread mates with standard pipe threads, while the compression end accepts tubing without solder or special tooling. Licensed plumbers and HVAC technicians are the primary installers of this type of fitting.

This connector is used in residential and light commercial installations wherever a compression tube must terminate at a male NPT port. Typical applications include water supply lines, pneumatic circuits, fuel lines, and HVAC refrigerant or condensate piping where code or preference requires a compression rather than a soldered or flared connection. The lead free brass construction meets requirements for potable water systems under applicable plumbing codes.

Key Features

• Lead free brass construction suitable for potable water service
• Maximum working pressure of 3000 psi
• 3/8 inch NPT thread standard on the male pipe end

Compatibility

Designed as a standard OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for compression-to-MNPT transitions in residential and commercial plumbing, HVAC, and fluid-handling systems using 3/8 inch NPT ported components.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or qualified HVAC technician. Shut off the water or fluid supply and relieve system pressure before disassembling any existing fittings. Ensure tubing is cut cleanly and squarely and that the compression nut and ferrule are properly seated before tightening. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to the MNPT threads in accordance with IPC or local plumbing code requirements.
