Anderson Metals 750070-0606 Compression Female Elbow 3/8

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS 750070-0606 is a lead-free brass compression tube female elbow designed to create a 90-degree directional change in tubing runs that terminate at a female NPT threaded port. The fitting connects a compression-style tube end to a 3/8-inch FNPT port, making it a standard choice for potable water, refrigeration service lines, and plumbing distribution systems where a reliable, leak-resistant joint is required without soldering. Rated to 2000 psi maximum working pressure, this elbow is suited for high-integrity connections in both residential and light commercial applications. Licensed plumbers and HVAC technicians are the primary installers.

This fitting is used wherever a tube line must change direction and connect to a female NPT-threaded port. Typical install scenarios include ice maker supply lines, refrigerant service connections, water heater fittings, and plumbing fixture supply runs. The compression-by-FNPT configuration allows the technician to work without a torch, making it practical in tight or fire-sensitive spaces. The lead-free brass construction meets requirements for potable water contact under current plumbing codes.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for compression tube-to-female NPT connections in residential and commercial plumbing, HVAC, and refrigeration service line applications.

Installation Notes

This fitting is typically installed by licensed plumbers or HVAC technicians working under IPC or local plumbing code requirements. Shut off the water or fluid supply and relieve system pressure before disassembly or installation. Hand-tighten the compression nut onto the tube, then advance with a wrench — do not overtighten, as brass compression fittings can crack if over-torqued. Apply an approved thread sealant to the FNPT threads before making up the joint.
