Anderson Metals 750068-1208 Compression Connector 1/2 Inch

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS 750068-1208 is a straight compression tube connector designed to join copper or compatible tubing to a male NPT threaded port. Constructed from lead free brass, this fitting handles a maximum working pressure of 1000 psi, making it appropriate for water supply, pneumatic, and hydraulic service lines where lead-free compliance is required. The connector transitions from a compression end to a male NPT (MNPT) thread, providing a reliable, leak-resistant seal without soldering. Licensed plumbers and mechanical contractors typically select this fitting for potable water and fluid distribution systems where code mandates lead-free materials.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing applications, including water supply rough-in, instrument tubing connections, and equipment hook-ups. The 1/2 inch NPT thread size is a common standard size encountered in fixture supply lines, hydronic systems, and general fluid transfer piping. It is installed anywhere a threaded port must be converted to a compression tube connection in a compact, single-piece fitting.

Key Features

• Lead free brass construction meets potable water and plumbing code requirements
• 1000 psi maximum working pressure rating for demanding service conditions
• Compression x MNPT end connections eliminate the need for soldering or crimping tools
• 1/2 inch NPT thread standard for broad compatibility with standard threaded ports
• Compact single-piece connector reduces fitting count and potential leak points

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard compression-to-MNPT connector for residential and commercial plumbing and fluid distribution systems requiring a 1/2 inch NPT male thread and compression tube end connection.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or qualified mechanical contractor. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before disassembly or fitting installation. Hand-tighten the compression nut onto the tubing, then snug with a wrench — avoid over-tightening, which can deform the ferrule and cause leaks. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the MNPT threads in accordance with IPC and local plumbing code requirements.
