Anderson Metals Corp 700060-10 Brass Compression Sleeve

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS CORP 700060-10 is a 5/8-inch brass compression sleeve sold in a bulk pack of 10 units. Compression sleeves, also called ferrules, are the critical sealing component in a compression fitting assembly. When the compression nut is tightened, the sleeve deforms slightly against the tubing and fitting body to create a leak-free mechanical joint without soldering or threading. This part is manufactured as a lead-free compliant product meeting the requirements of Public Law 111-380, making it suitable for potable water applications where lead-free materials are mandated by code. Plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers of this type of fitting component.

This compression sleeve is used in residential and light commercial plumbing systems wherever compression-style fittings are employed. Common applications include supply line connections at fixtures, shut-off valve installations, and copper or compatible tubing joins in water distribution systems. The bulk pack of 10 units is practical for service technicians and contractors who regularly stock compression fitting hardware on the truck or in the shop.

Installation Notes

Compression sleeves are installed by licensed plumbers or qualified pipefitters as part of a compression fitting assembly alongside a compression nut and fitting body. Shut off the water supply and relieve line pressure before disassembling or assembling any compression joint. Do not over-tighten the compression nut, as excessive force can crack the sleeve or deform the tubing. Local plumbing codes based on the IPC or applicable state amendments should be followed for all potable water connections.
