Anderson Metals 750069-0804 Compression Male Elbow 1/4 Npt

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS 750069-0804 is a compression tube male elbow fitting manufactured from lead free brass. It connects a compression tube line to a male NPT threaded port at a 90-degree angle, redirecting flow in tight plumbing and fluid-system installations. The fitting carries a maximum working pressure rating of 2000 psi and uses a 1/4 inch NPT thread on the male end with an 11/16-20 straight thread size. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this type of fitting in copper or compatible soft-tubing systems where a directional change and a threaded male transition are required in a single component.

This elbow fitting is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, instrumentation lines, pneumatic supply runs, and HVAC refrigerant-adjacent tubing applications where lead free brass construction is required by code. The compression-by-MNPT configuration makes it a common choice when connecting flexible or rigid tubing to equipment with female NPT ports. It ships individually and is stocked for single-unit purchase.

Key Features

• Lead free brass construction meets lead-free material requirements for potable water and code-compliant plumbing installations
• 2000 psi maximum working pressure suits high-pressure fluid and pneumatic service
• Compression x MNPT end connections allow direct tube-to-threaded-port transitions without soldering
• 1/4 inch NPT thread with 11/16-20 straight thread size for precise engagement
• 90-degree male elbow geometry redirects tubing runs in confined spaces

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for compression tube systems requiring a 1/4 inch NPT male threaded outlet on compatible copper or soft tubing plumbing and instrumentation assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter. Shut off system pressure and depressurize the line completely before disassembly or fitting installation. Compression fittings require proper tube squareness and deburring for a leak-free seal — do not overtighten, as brass compression ferrules can deform and leak if over-compressed. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to the NPT male threads in accordance with applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements.
