Anderson Metals Corp 700061-04 Brass Compression Nut 1/4 in

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS CORP 700061-04 is a 1/4 inch brass compression nut used to secure compression fittings in plumbing and fluid-handling systems. It threads onto a compression fitting body and compresses a ferrule against tubing to create a leak-resistant mechanical seal without soldering. Manufactured from lead-free brass, this nut meets the requirements of Public Law 111-380, making it suitable for potable water applications where lead-free compliance is mandated. Plumbers and pipefitters install these nuts in residential and light commercial systems as a standard consumable component.

This compression nut is suited for use in residential plumbing supply lines, fixture connections, and light commercial water distribution systems. It is sized for 1/4 inch tubing and is sold in bulk packs of 10, making it practical for service technicians and contractors who install or repair compression-style fittings on a routine basis. No soldering or specialized tooling is required for installation, which makes these a common stocking item for plumbing service vans and supply rooms.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified pipefitters. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before disassembling any compression fitting. Hand-tighten the nut onto the fitting body first, then snug with a wrench — do not overtighten, as brass threads and ferrules can deform under excessive torque. Work must comply with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC requirements for potable water systems.
