Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS CORP 700561-06 is a 3/8 inch brass insert fitting designed for use in push-fit, barb, or compression-style plumbing assemblies. Constructed from lead-free brass that complies with Public Law 111-380, this insert meets current federal requirements for drinking water system components. It is sold in bulk packs of 10 units per package, making it a practical choice for plumbing contractors and service technicians who need reliable fittings in quantity. The insert provides a secure internal reinforcement point at the 3/8 inch connection, supporting tubing integrity under typical residential and light commercial water supply pressures.

This brass insert is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing applications where 3/8 inch tubing connections are required. Common installation scenarios include potable water supply lines, fixture connections, and repair work on existing distribution piping.

Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers of this type of fitting.
