Anderson Metals 750070-0402 Compression Female Elbow 1/8 Inch

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS 750070-0402 is a compression tube female elbow fitting manufactured from lead free brass. It transitions a compression tube connection to a female NPT (FNPT) threaded port at a 90-degree angle, allowing directional changes in tubing runs within plumbing, HVAC, and instrumentation systems. The fitting carries a 1/8 inch NPT thread size and a 7/16-24 straight thread specification, with a maximum working pressure rating of 3000 psi. Licensed plumbers and HVAC technicians use this type of fitting where rigid or semi-rigid tubing must connect to a female-threaded port without requiring soldering or flaring.

This elbow is suited for residential and light commercial applications involving copper or compatible compression tubing connecting to NPT-threaded valves, manifolds, or instrument ports. The compression-by-FNPT configuration is commonly found in refrigeration lines, fuel gas pilot assemblies, water supply connections, and pneumatic instrument tubing where a leak-free mechanical joint is required and space demands a directional change at the connection point.

Key Features

• Lead free brass construction meets lead free plumbing compliance requirements
• Compression x FNPT end connections eliminate the need for soldering or flaring at the tube end
• 1/8 inch NPT female thread for direct connection to standard NPT-threaded ports
• 3000 psi maximum working pressure rating suitable for high-pressure instrumentation and control lines
• 90-degree elbow geometry allows direction changes in tight plumbing or equipment enclosures
• 7/16-24 straight thread size for precise mechanical engagement

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for systems using compression tube connections terminating at a 1/8 inch FNPT threaded port, consistent with standard NPT plumbing and instrumentation applications.

Installation Notes

This fitting is installed by licensed plumbers or HVAC technicians familiar with compression fittings and NPT thread standards. Shut off and depressurize the line before disassembly or installation. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the NPT male threads mating into this fitting; do not apply sealant to the compression end. Follow applicable IPC and local plumbing code requirements for fitting material and pressure rating in the intended service environment.
