Anderson Metals 750069-0504 Compression Male Elbow 1/4 in

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS 750069-0504 is a compression tube male elbow fitting designed to create a 90-degree directional change in a compression-to-male NPT piping connection. Constructed from lead free brass, this fitting meets modern potable water and fluid system standards. It accepts a compression connection on one end and a 1/4-inch male NPT thread on the other, making it suitable for joining tubing runs to threaded ports on valves, gauges, or equipment bodies. Rated to 3000 psi maximum working pressure, it is built for demanding service in plumbing, instrumentation, and light industrial fluid systems. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers.

This fitting is used in residential and commercial plumbing systems, as well as instrumentation and pneumatic or hydraulic control lines where a compression tube must terminate at a male NPT port. Typical applications include connecting copper or compatible soft tubing to threaded valve bodies, pressure gauges, and supply line ports. The 90-degree male elbow configuration is chosen when a straight fitting would create routing conflicts or excessive bend stress on the tubing.

Key Features

• Lead free brass construction meets current potable water compliance requirements
• Compression x MNPT end connections for tool-free tube insertion on the compression side
• 1/4-inch NPT thread standard for broad compatibility with threaded ports
• 3000 psi maximum working pressure rating for demanding fluid system service
• 90-degree elbow geometry accommodates direction changes without tube bending
• Single-piece unit — no additional components required for installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style compression tube male elbow for use in plumbing, instrumentation, and fluid control systems requiring a 1/4-inch NPT male thread and a compression tube connection.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter. Shut off the water or fluid supply and relieve system pressure fully before working on any fitting. Ensure the tubing end is cut clean and square and that the compression nut and ferrule are seated correctly before tightening — do not overtighten, as brass compression fittings can be damaged by excessive torque. Follow applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements for the system being serviced.
