Anderson Metals Corp 710062-04 Compression Union 1/4 in

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS CORP 710062-04 is a 1/4-inch compression x 1/4-inch compression union designed to join two lengths of tubing in a straight-run connection without soldering or threading. This fitting creates a secure, leak-resistant joint using standard compression ferrules and nuts. It meets the lead-free requirements of Public Law 111-380, making it compliant for use in potable water systems. Plumbers and pipefitters working on residential and light commercial water supply lines will find this fitting appropriate for copper, brass, and compatible soft tubing applications where a removable mechanical connection is required.

This compression union is suited for residential water supply lines, refrigeration tubing connections, and light commercial plumbing installations where straight inline unions are needed. The 1/4-inch size is common in ice maker supply lines, filtration system connections, and similar small-diameter tubing runs. Sold in a package of 10 units, this fitting is practical for contractors stocking service vehicles or completing multi-point installations in a single job.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off the water supply and relieve line pressure before cutting or disconnecting any tubing. Ensure tubing ends are cut square and deburred before seating the ferrule to prevent leaks. Do not overtighten compression nuts, as this can deform the ferrule and compromise the seal.
