Anderson Metals Corp 700060-08 Brass Compression Sleeve

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS CORP 700060-08 is a 1/2 inch brass compression sleeve used to create leak-tight compression fittings in plumbing and fluid distribution systems. The sleeve, also called a ferrule, seats between the compression nut and fitting body, deforming slightly under torque to form a secure, pressure-resistant seal without soldering or threading. Sold in bulk quantities of 10 per package, this sleeve is manufactured to comply with lead free requirements under Public Law 111-380, making it suitable for potable water applications where lead-free certification is required by code.

Compression sleeves of this type are used in residential and light commercial plumbing installations. Common applications include connecting copper tubing to shut-off valves, supply lines, and compression-style fittings. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install these sleeves during fixture rough-in, valve replacement, and supply line repairs. The 1/2 inch size corresponds to standard nominal tubing used throughout residential water distribution systems.

Key Features

• Sold in bulk pack of 10 for service truck and job-site stocking
• No soldering or threading required for installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-fit compression sleeve for 1/2 inch compression fittings used in residential and commercial plumbing systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers working under applicable plumbing codes such as the IPC or local equivalents. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before disassembling any compression fitting. Slide the sleeve onto the tubing before threading the compression nut, ensuring the sleeve is seated squarely against the fitting body. Do not over-tighten the compression nut, as excess force can distort the sleeve and cause leaks rather than prevent them.
