Anderson Metals 750068-0602 Compression Connector 1/8 Npt

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS 750068-0602 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, instrumentation, and fluid-handling systems. It features a 1/8 inch NPT thread size with a 9/16-24 straight thread configuration and is rated for a maximum working pressure of 2000 psi. The compression x MNPT end connection allows for quick assembly without soldering. This type of fitting is installed by licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and instrumentation specialists working on tubing runs in both residential and light commercial applications.

This connector is suited for use in compressed air lines, water supply tubing, and other fluid systems that require a secure transition between compression tubing and a male NPT port. Its compact form factor makes it appropriate for tight spaces and panel-mounted assemblies. The lead free brass construction meets requirements for potable water contact in jurisdictions following applicable plumbing codes. Typical installations include appliance supply lines, pneumatic control circuits, and equipment plumbing where NPT ports are the standard connection interface.

Key Features

• Lead free brass construction suitable for potable water and general fluid service
• Rated to 2000 psi maximum working pressure
• 1/8 inch NPT thread size for broad compatibility with standard NPT-ported components
• Compression x MNPT end connections eliminate the need for soldering or flaring
• 9/16-24 straight thread geometry for precise mating
• Compact single-piece design with no additional hardware required for compression end assembly

Compatibility

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

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified plumber or HVAC technician in accordance with the applicable local plumbing code or the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off and depressurize the system fully before making or breaking any compression fitting connection. Hand-tighten the compression nut first, then use an appropriately sized wrench to achieve a snug fit without overtightening, which can damage the compression ferrule. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to the NPT threads as required by local code and the system fluid type.
