Anderson Metals 750069-0402 Compression Male Elbow 1/8 Npt

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS 750069-0402 is a compression tube male elbow fitting designed to connect a compression tube line to a male NPT threaded port at a 90-degree angle. Constructed from lead free brass, this fitting is suited for plumbing, fluid transfer, and instrumentation applications where a reliable directional change is needed in the line. It carries a maximum working pressure of 3000 psi, making it appropriate for higher-pressure service runs. The 1/8 inch NPT thread and 7/16-24 straight thread sizing allow for precise integration into existing systems. Licensed plumbers and instrumentation technicians are the typical installers.

This fitting is used in residential and light commercial plumbing systems, as well as instrumentation and fluid control lines. It is well suited for applications requiring a direction change from a compression tube to a male NPT threaded connection, such as supply line transitions, gauge connections, and instrument panel plumbing. The compression end accepts standard tubing while the MNPT end threads directly into female NPT ports on valves, manifolds, or equipment bodies.

Key Features

• Lead free brass construction meets regulatory requirements for potable water and plumbing installations
• Maximum working pressure of 3000 psi supports demanding fluid and instrumentation service
• 1/8 inch NPT thread size for direct connection to standard female NPT ports
• Compression x MNPT end connections allow tubing-to-threaded transitions without soldering
• 7/16-24 straight thread size for precise mechanical engagement
• Compact elbow geometry facilitates tight-space installations and directional line changes

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-install compression tube male elbow fitting for plumbing and instrumentation systems using 1/8 inch NPT threaded ports and standard compression tube connections.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or instrumentation technician. Shut off the water or fluid supply and relieve system pressure before removing or installing any compression fitting. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to the MNPT threads in accordance with IPC guidelines; do not overtighten, as brass fittings are susceptible to thread damage. Ensure the compression sleeve and nut are properly seated on the tubing before tightening the compression end.
