Anderson Metals 750068-0504 Compression Tube Connector

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS 750068-0504 is a straight compression tube connector designed to join copper or compatible tubing to a male NPT threaded fitting. It features a compression inlet on one end and a male NPT (MNPT) threaded outlet on the other, allowing a leak-resistant mechanical connection without soldering. Constructed from lead free brass, this connector meets material requirements for potable water and general fluid service applications. It is rated to 3000 psi maximum working pressure, making it suitable for a wide range of plumbing, HVAC, and instrumentation line installations where a reliable compression-to-threaded transition is needed.

This connector is used in residential and light commercial plumbing and HVAC systems wherever a compression tube must terminate at a threaded port. Typical applications include refrigeration sensing lines, water supply connections, pneumatic control tubing, and instrument tap fittings. The 1/4 inch NPT thread size and compression end configuration are common in small-bore tubing runs serviced by licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and pipefitters working on low-to-medium pressure fluid or gas circuits.

Key Features

• Lead free brass construction suitable for potable water and fluid service
• Compression x MNPT end connections eliminate the need for soldering or crimping
• Rated to 3000 psi maximum working pressure for demanding service conditions
• 1/4 inch NPT thread standard for broad fitment with standard threaded ports
• Straight connector body for in-line tube-to-threaded transitions
• Compact single-piece design with no additional components required for assembly

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for systems using 1/4 inch NPT threaded ports with compression tube connections in plumbing, HVAC, and instrumentation applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or qualified HVAC technician. Shut off system pressure and bleed residual pressure from the line before disassembling or installing any compression fitting. Hand-tighten the compression nut onto the tube, then advance with a wrench according to standard compression fitting practice — do not overtighten, as this can damage the ferrule and cause leaks. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to the MNPT threads in accordance with local plumbing codes and the pipe thread connection requirements of the receiving fitting.
