Anderson Metals 750068-0506 Compression Connector 3/8

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS 750068-0506 is a straight compression tube connector designed to join compression tubing to a male NPT threaded port. Constructed from lead free brass, this fitting provides a reliable, leak-resistant connection in plumbing, HVAC, and fluid distribution systems. With a maximum working pressure of 3000 psi and a 3/8 inch NPT thread size, it is built for demanding service environments. The 1/2-24 straight thread size accommodates standard compression tube ends. Licensed plumbers and HVAC technicians are the primary installers of this type of fitting in both residential and light commercial applications.

This connector suits installations where copper or compatible compression tubing must transition to a male NPT threaded fitting. Typical applications include water supply lines, pneumatic connections, fuel lines, and refrigerant-side plumbing where a compression-to-MNPT transition is required. The compact form factor makes it practical in tight spaces such as equipment cabinets, valve assemblies, and panel penetrations where a low-profile brass fitting is needed.

Key Features

• Lead free brass construction meets drinking water compliance requirements
• Compression x MNPT end connections for tool-free tube retention on the compression side
• 3/8 inch NPT thread standard for broad compatibility with standard threaded ports
• Rated to 3000 psi maximum working pressure for high-pressure service
• 1/2-24 straight thread size for standard compression tube ends
• Single-piece construction with no internal components to fail or corrode

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for systems requiring a compression to male NPT threaded connection in plumbing, HVAC, or fluid distribution piping.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified HVAC technician in accordance with local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off the water supply or system pressure completely before removing or installing any compression fitting. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to the MNPT threads before making the threaded connection; do not over-tighten, as brass threads are susceptible to damage. Hand-tighten the compression nut first, then snug with a wrench — avoid applying excessive torque to the compression side.
