Anderson Metals 750069-0404 Compression Male Elbow 1/4 Npt

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS 750069-0404 is a lead-free brass compression tube male elbow designed to connect a compression tube line to a male NPT threaded port at a 90-degree angle. It features a 1/4-inch NPT thread on the male end and a 7/16-24 straight thread, with a maximum working pressure rating of 3000 psi. This fitting is used in fluid and gas distribution systems where a direction change is needed between a compression tube and a threaded pipe connection. Licensed plumbers and HVAC technicians are the typical installers for this type of fitting in both residential and light commercial applications.

This male elbow fitting is suited for use in plumbing, refrigeration, and fluid-handling systems that require a reliable compression-to-MNPT transition. The lead-free brass construction meets material requirements for potable water and other regulated fluid systems. It is appropriate for installations where the tubing must change direction at a threaded port, such as at valves, manifolds, or equipment service connections. Its compact form factor makes it practical in tight spaces common in mechanical rooms and equipment cabinets.

Key Features

• Lead-free brass construction meets regulatory requirements for potable water service
• Compression x MNPT end connections allow direct tube-to-pipe transition at a 90-degree angle
• 1/4-inch NPT thread size for compatibility with standard pipe fittings
• Rated to 3000 psi maximum working pressure for demanding fluid and gas systems
• 7/16-24 straight thread configuration for secure mechanical engagement
• Compact single-piece design suitable for confined installation spaces

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style compression tube male elbow for plumbing, HVAC, and fluid-handling systems requiring a 1/4-inch NPT compression-to-male-pipe transition fitting.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified HVAC technician in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the IPC. Shut off the water or fluid supply and relieve system pressure before disassembling any existing fittings or making new connections. Compression fittings do not require thread sealant on the compression side, but NPT threads should be treated with an appropriate thread sealant or tape per code. Do not overtighten the compression nut, as excessive force can deform the ferrule and compromise the seal.
