Anderson Metals Corp 00560-04 Compression Sleeve 1/4 in

Product Description

The Anderson Metals Corp 00560-04 is a 1/4 inch plastic compression sleeve designed for use with polyethylene tubing connections. This fitting component creates a secure, leak-resistant seal when used in a standard compression-style assembly. The sleeve seats between the compression nut and the tubing, providing the radial compression needed to hold the joint under pressure. Sold in bulk packs of 25 individual units, this part is well suited for plumbers, irrigation technicians, and water treatment installers who work with polyethylene tubing on a regular basis.

This compression sleeve is used in residential and light commercial plumbing, irrigation, and water service applications where polyethylene tubing is the specified pipe material. Typical install scenarios include mainline water service laterals, drip irrigation systems, and well water distribution lines. The 1/4 inch size covers small-diameter tubing runs common in point-of-use filtration and reverse osmosis systems. Each unit is sold as a single sleeve; the pack quantity is 25.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers or irrigation technicians. Shut off the water supply and relieve line pressure before disassembling or assembling any compression fitting. Ensure tubing is cut square and free of burrs before seating the sleeve to prevent leaks at the joint. Follow applicable local plumbing codes and the fitting manufacturer assembly instructions for proper torque and pull-out resistance.
