Anderson Metals Corp 700060-03 Compression Sleeve 3/16 in

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS CORP 700060-03 is a 3/16-inch rough brass compression sleeve used to create secure, leak-resistant connections in compression fittings. The sleeve, also called a ferrule, seats between the fitting body and compression nut, deforming slightly under torque to form a pressure-tight seal without solder or threading. This fitting component is manufactured from rough brass and meets the lead-free requirements of Public Law 111-380, making it compliant for use in potable water systems. Plumbers and pipefitters install these sleeves during new construction and retrofit work wherever compression-style connections are specified.

This compression sleeve is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing applications involving small-diameter tubing runs. Typical install scenarios include supply lines, instrumentation tubing, and fixture connections where a 3/16-inch compression fitting is used. The part is sold in bulk packs of 10, making it practical for service vans and shop stock. Its lead-free compliance satisfies requirements in jurisdictions that enforce Public Law 111-380 for drinking water system components.

Key Features

• Lead-free compliant per Public Law 111-380 for potable water applications
• Rough brass construction for durability in compression fitting assemblies
• 3/16-inch size fits standard small-diameter compression fittings
• No soldering or threading required — installs with hand tools
• Sold in a bulk pack of 10 sleeves per package

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or stock component for standard 3/16-inch compression fitting assemblies used in residential and light commercial plumbing systems.

Installation Notes

Compression sleeves are installed by licensed plumbers following applicable IPC and local plumbing code requirements. Shut off the water supply and relieve line pressure before disassembling any compression fitting. Slide the sleeve onto the tubing before threading the compression nut, and do not reuse a previously compressed sleeve as it may not seal reliably. Over-tightening the compression nut can crack brass sleeves — follow fitting manufacturer torque guidance.
