Anderson Metals Corp 700061-08 Brass Compression Nut 1/2 in

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS CORP 700061-08 is a 1/2 inch brass compression nut designed for use in compression-style tube and pipe fittings. It threads onto a compression fitting body to seat a ferrule against the tubing, creating a leak-resistant mechanical seal without soldering. Constructed from lead-free brass, this nut complies with Public Law 111-380, meeting federal requirements for wetted components in potable water systems. Plumbers and pipefitters install this hardware in residential and light commercial applications where a reliable, code-compliant compression connection is required.

This compression nut is suited for use in water supply lines, fixture shut-off connections, and similar plumbing assemblies where 1/2 inch compression fittings are specified. Its lead-free brass construction makes it appropriate for drinking water service in jurisdictions enforcing low-lead standards. The bulk packaging of 10 units per package supports service trucks and supply-house counters where single-piece quantities are impractical.

Key Features

• Lead-free brass construction meets Public Law 111-380 for potable water compliance

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service component for standard 1/2 inch compression fitting assemblies used in residential and commercial plumbing systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified pipefitters. Shut off the water supply and relieve line pressure before disassembly or installation. Hand-tighten the compression nut onto the fitting body, then snug with a wrench — over-tightening can distort the ferrule and cause leaks. Work must comply with applicable local plumbing codes, including IPC requirements for lead-free materials in potable water service.
