Anderson Metals 750069-0406 Compression Male Elbow 3/8 in

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS 750069-0406 is a lead free brass compression tube male elbow designed to connect compression tubing to a male NPT threaded port at a 90-degree angle. Rated for up to 3000 psi working pressure, this fitting handles demanding plumbing and fluid distribution applications. The 3/8 inch NPT thread mates directly to standard male pipe thread fittings, while the compression end provides a reliable, tool-assisted seal on compatible tubing. Weighing 0.09 pounds, it is a compact, single-piece fitting suited for installation by licensed plumbers and pipefitters working on residential or commercial systems.

This fitting is commonly used in plumbing, HVAC, and fluid control systems where a directional change is required between a compression tube line and an NPT-threaded component. Typical applications include connecting copper or compatible tubing to valves, gauges, manifolds, or equipment ports. The lead free brass construction meets requirements for potable water service and is well suited for use in both pressurized water and gas-compatible piping assemblies where local codes mandate lead free materials.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and ASME B1.20.1 pipe thread standards. Shut off the water or fluid supply and relieve system pressure completely before making any fitting connections. Do not overtighten compression fittings; hand-tighten first, then advance with a wrench to the manufacturer's standard practice for compression joints. Inspect the compression sleeve and nut for proper seating before returning the system to service.
