Anderson Metals 750071-0404 Compression Male Run Tee 1/4

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS 750071-0404 is a compression tube male run tee designed for inline branch connections in pressurized fluid systems. Constructed from lead free brass, this fitting connects two compression tube ends in-line while providing a male NPT branch outlet, allowing a technician to tap a branch line off an existing run without cutting and replacing the main line. It is rated to a maximum working pressure of 3000 psi, making it suitable for demanding service conditions. The 1/4 inch NPT thread and 7/16-24 straight thread sizing make this a precise, repeatable fit for plumbing, HVAC, and pneumatic control applications.

This fitting is appropriate for residential and light commercial installations where a compression-style branch connection is required off a continuous tube run. Typical applications include refrigerant line accessories, pneumatic control tubing, fuel lines, and hydraulic instrument connections. The male run tee configuration keeps the primary tube run intact and adds a threaded male branch port, reducing the number of fittings and potential leak points in the assembly. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and pipefitters working with copper or compatible soft tubing will encounter this fitting in control line and instrument tubing work.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified HVAC or pipefitting technician. Depressurize and isolate the system fully before cutting into any existing line or disassembling upstream fittings. Use appropriate tubing cutters to achieve a clean, square cut on compression tube ends, and verify tubing is fully seated before tightening the compression nut. Follow applicable IPC or IFGC requirements for the system type and jurisdiction.
