Anderson Metals Corp 00560-08 Plastic Compression Sleeve 1/2 in

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS CORP 00560-08 is a 1/2-inch plastic compression sleeve designed for use with polyethylene tubing connections. This fitting component seats around the tubing and compresses against the fitting body when the nut is tightened, creating a leak-resistant mechanical seal without soldering or adhesives. It is a standard bulk-pack component used by plumbers and irrigation technicians working with polyethylene supply or distribution lines. The sleeve is sold in a package quantity of 25, making it practical for service trucks or job-site restocking.

This compression sleeve is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing applications where polyethylene tubing is used for water supply, well systems, or irrigation distribution. It is installed at the compression fitting joint between the tubing and the fitting body, functioning as the inner gripping and sealing component of the assembly. Trade professionals typically use this part during new installations, repair work, or when replacing damaged sleeves on existing compression joints.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or irrigation technicians. Shut off the water supply and relieve line pressure before disassembling any compression fitting. Slide the compression nut onto the tubing first, followed by the sleeve, before inserting the tubing into the fitting body. Do not over-tighten the compression nut, as excessive force can deform the plastic sleeve and compromise the seal.
