Anderson Metals 750069-0606 Compression Male Elbow 3/8

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS 750069-0606 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. It transitions from a compression fitting end to a 3/8 inch MNPT end, making it a reliable choice for plumbing and fluid transfer systems where a directional change is required. The fitting is rated to 2000 psi maximum working pressure and is constructed from lead free brass to meet current potable water standards. Installation is handled by licensed plumbers or qualified pipefitters working on residential or light commercial water supply lines.

This elbow is suited for use in residential and commercial plumbing applications where compression tube lines must connect to threaded male pipe fittings. Its compression-to-MNPT configuration makes it appropriate for water supply connections, refrigerant service lines, and instrumentation tubing where a 90-degree change in direction is needed. The 3/8 inch NPT thread and 9/16-24 straight thread sizing cover common tubing and pipe sizes encountered in standard plumbing rough-in and service work.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with the International Plumbing Code (IPC) and applicable local codes. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before removing or installing any compression fitting. Hand-tighten the compression nut first, then use an appropriately sized wrench to snug the connection — do not overtighten, as this can deform the compression sleeve and cause leaks. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to the MNPT threads before making the threaded connection.
