Anderson Metals Corp 710061-06 Compression Nut 3/8 in Lead Free

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS CORP 710061-06 is a 3/8-inch compression nut sold in a 3-pack, designed for use in potable water supply lines and plumbing distribution systems. This fitting creates a leak-tight mechanical connection by compressing a ferrule against tubing when the nut is tightened, requiring no solder or open flame. The 710061-06 meets lead-free compliance requirements under Public Law 111-380, making it suitable for installations on drinking water systems where lead-free materials are mandated by code. Plumbers and pipefitters keep these on hand for routine service calls and new rough-in work.

Compression nuts in this size are commonly used to connect 3/8-inch copper, brass, or compatible soft tubing to valves, supply stops, and fittings in residential and light commercial plumbing. Typical applications include under-sink supply connections, fixture shut-off valves, and ice maker or appliance supply lines. The carded 3-pack format is suited for stocking service vehicles or retail supply counters where single-unit quantities are impractical.

Key Features

• 3/8-inch compression nut for standard compression fitting assemblies
• Lead-free compliant per Public Law 111-380 for potable water applications
• 3-pack quantity reduces per-unit cost and supports multi-point installations
• No-solder installation — mechanical compression connection only
• Carded packaging for easy storage and retail display

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service fitting for standard 3/8-inch compression plumbing connections in residential and light commercial water supply systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or experienced trades working on potable water supply systems. Shut off the water supply and relieve line pressure before disassembling any compression fitting. Hand-tighten the nut onto the fitting body first, then use an appropriate wrench to snug the connection — avoid over-tightening, which can crack the ferrule or distort the tubing. Work must comply with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC requirements for lead-free fittings on drinking water lines.
