Anderson Metals 750082-0806 Compression Tube Union

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS 750082-0806 is a lead-free brass compression tube union designed to join two compression-end tube runs in a single inline fitting. It creates a leak-resistant, removable connection without soldering or threading, making it well suited for potable water, hydronic, and light refrigeration tubing applications. The fitting is rated to 2000 psi maximum working pressure, which covers the demands of most residential and light commercial plumbing and HVAC systems. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the typical installers, though experienced mechanical contractors also use compression unions when a no-flame connection method is required by code or site conditions.

This compression tube union is used wherever two tube sections must be coupled in-line and the connection may need to be serviced or broken in the future. Common applications include copper water supply lines, refrigerant tubing in split systems, and hydronic distribution piping. The lead-free brass construction meets requirements for fittings used in systems that carry potable water. It is packaged and sold individually.

Key Features

• Lead-free brass construction meets potable water compliance requirements
• Compression x compression end connections eliminate the need for soldering or open flame
• 2000 psi maximum working pressure rating suits residential and light commercial systems
• Inline union configuration allows the connection to be broken and re-made during service
• Compact form factor fits in tight mechanical spaces

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for compression tube unions in residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC, and hydronic piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter. Shut off the water or fluid supply and relieve system pressure before disassembling any existing piping. Compression fittings require proper tube preparation — the tube end should be cut square and deburred before seating the ferrule. Do not overtighten the compression nut; follow standard trade practice for compression joint assembly to avoid deforming the ferrule.
