Anderson Metals Corp 700561-04 Brass Insert 1/4 Inch

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS CORP 700561-04 is a 1/4 inch brass insert fitting sold in bulk packs of 10 pieces. Brass inserts are used to create leak-resistant threaded connections in plastic tubing systems, providing a durable metal seat where compression or barb fittings would otherwise bear against softer materials. This fitting meets the lead free compliance requirements of Public Law 111-380, making it suitable for potable water applications where lead content restrictions apply. Plumbers and pipefitters install these as standard components in residential and light commercial plumbing assemblies.

This brass insert is suited for use in plumbing systems where 1/4 inch tubing connections are required. The bulk packaging of 10 units per pack makes it practical for service contractors and wholesale supply jobs that require multiple fittings on a single project. Lead free compliance makes these appropriate for drinking water lines, ice maker supply, and similar potable water service applications.

Key Features

• Lead free compliant per Public Law 111-380 for potable water use
• 1/4 inch size for standard small-diameter tubing connections
• Brass construction for corrosion resistance and durability in wet environments

Installation Notes

Brass inserts are installed by licensed plumbers or qualified pipefitters. Shut off the water supply and relieve line pressure before working on any fitting connection. Follow IPC and local plumbing code requirements for potable water fittings, including verification of lead free compliance where required. Do not overtighten or use tools that could deform the brass seat or crack surrounding plastic tubing.
