Anderson Metals 750069-0408 Compression Male Elbow 1/2 in Npt

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS 750069-0408 is a lead free brass compression tube male elbow designed to create a 90-degree directional change in a compression-to-male NPT tubing run. The fitting connects a compression tube end to a 1/2 inch male NPT threaded port, making it a common choice for potable water lines, fuel gas supply tubing, and other fluid handling systems where a leak-tight, angled transition is required. Rated to 3000 psi maximum working pressure, this elbow is built for demanding service environments. Licensed plumbers and experienced tradespeople install this type of fitting in both residential and light commercial applications.

This fitting is suited for use in plumbing, HVAC refrigerant-side tubing, and instrumentation lines where a compression connection must terminate at a male NPT port at an angle. The 1/2 inch NPT thread size and 7/16-24 straight thread sizing make it compatible with standard compression tube assemblies used in residential and commercial installations. It is appropriate for systems requiring a lead free brass component to meet drinking water compliance standards.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified tradesperson in accordance with applicable IPC and local plumbing code requirements. Shut off and depressurize the supply line completely before removing or installing any compression fitting. Hand-tighten the compression nut first, then use a wrench to snug the fitting — do not overtighten, as excessive force can damage the compression ferrule and cause leaks. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male NPT threads before making up the connection.
