Anderson Metals 750070-0608 Compression Female Elbow

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS 750070-0608 is a lead-free brass compression tube female elbow designed to transition between a compression tube connection and a female NPT threaded port. The fitting changes direction in a tubing run while providing a secure, leak-resistant joint at both ends. It is rated for up to 2000 psi working pressure, making it suitable for demanding plumbing and fluid system applications. The body is constructed from lead-free brass, meeting modern potable water and trade compliance requirements. Licensed plumbers and pipe fitters install this fitting in residential and light commercial water supply, pneumatic, and instrumentation lines.

This elbow fitting is used wherever a tubing run must change direction and terminate into a female NPT threaded port. Typical applications include connecting copper or compatible tubing to valves, gauges, or manifolds in water supply systems, HVAC refrigerant-adjacent lines, and compressed air distribution. The compression end accepts tubing without soldering or brazing, simplifying installation in tight or heat-sensitive spaces. The 1/2-inch thread size and NPT standard fit standard plumbing components across residential and light commercial systems.

Key Features

• Lead-free brass construction meets potable water compliance requirements
• 2000 psi maximum working pressure rating for demanding service conditions
• Compression x FNPT end connections — no soldering or brazing required on the compression side
• 1/2-inch NPT thread size with 9/16-24 straight thread dimension
• 90-degree elbow geometry changes tubing direction within a run
• Compact single-piece body for use in space-constrained installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for plumbing, HVAC, and fluid system applications requiring a compression-to-female NPT elbow transition at 1/2-inch NPT thread size.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements. Shut off and depressurize the supply line before removing any existing fitting or making new connections. Tighten the compression nut to the fitting body using two wrenches — one to hold the fitting body and one to turn the nut — to avoid distorting the tubing or fitting. Do not overtighten; verify the joint is leak-free by slowly restoring system pressure and inspecting before returning the system to service.
