Anderson Metals 750070-0604 Compression Female Elbow 1/4 Npt

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS 750070-0604 is a lead-free brass compression tube female elbow designed to change the direction of a compression tubing run while transitioning to a female NPT threaded connection. The fitting connects a compression tube on one end to a 1/4-inch FNPT port on the other, making it a standard solution for joining copper or compatible tubing to threaded fittings in plumbing, refrigeration, and fluid-control systems. With a maximum working pressure of 2000 psi and a straight thread size of 9/16-24, this elbow is built for demanding service conditions. Licensed plumbers and HVAC technicians regularly specify this type of fitting for low-volume, high-pressure line connections.

This compression female elbow is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing systems where a 90-degree directional change is needed at a threaded port. Typical applications include water supply lines, instrumentation tubing, and refrigeration pilot lines where a compression-to-FNPT transition is required. The lead-free brass construction meets requirements for potable water service in jurisdictions that enforce lead-free standards.

Key Features

• Lead-free brass construction suitable for potable water applications
• Compression x FNPT end connections for tool-free tube attachment on the compression side
• 1/4-inch NPT thread size on the female port
• 2000 psi maximum working pressure for demanding service environments
• Straight thread size of 9/16-24 for precise thread engagement

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for compression tubing systems with 1/4-inch female NPT threaded ports across residential and commercial plumbing and HVAC applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified HVAC technician in accordance with IPC and local plumbing codes. Shut off the water or fluid supply and relieve system pressure before removing or installing any compression fitting. Hand-tighten the compression nut first, then advance with a wrench — avoid overtightening, which can crack the ferrule or distort the fitting body. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to the NPT threads per local code requirements.
