Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS CORP 700061-05 is a 5/16-inch brass compression nut designed for use in potable water and plumbing systems where a reliable, leak-resistant compression fitting connection is required. Manufactured from lead-free brass, this nut meets the requirements of Public Law 111-380, making it compliant for use in systems that deliver water for human consumption. It is sold in bulk packs of 10 and is a standard working component for plumbers and pipefitters completing compression-style tube and pipe connections.

This compression nut is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing applications where 5/16-inch compression fittings are specified. Common install scenarios include supply line connections, refrigerator water lines, ice maker hookups, and similar small-diameter tubing runs. The bulk pack quantity makes it practical for service plumbers who regularly stock compression fitting components.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified pipefitters. Shut off the water supply and relieve line pressure before disassembling any compression fitting. Hand-tighten the compression nut onto the fitting body first, then use an appropriately sized open-end wrench to snug the connection. Do not overtighten, as excessive torque can distort the compression sleeve and cause leaks.
