Anderson Metals Corp 710062-10 Compression Union 5/8 Inch

Product Description

The Anderson Metals Corp 710062-10 is a 5/8 inch compression x 5/8 inch compression union designed for joining same-size copper or compatible tubing runs without soldering. This lead free compliant fitting meets the requirements of Public Law 111-380, making it suitable for use in potable water systems where lead free materials are mandated. The union design allows technicians to disconnect and reconnect the line without cutting tubing. Plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting in residential and light commercial water supply applications where a removable, leak-tight joint is required.

This compression union is used in residential and commercial plumbing systems, typically on cold or hot water supply lines where a tool-free, re-serviceable connection is preferred over a soldered joint. The 5/8 inch compression ends accept standard compression ferrules and nuts, making it compatible with typical copper and compatible plastic tubing of the same outside diameter. It is packaged and carded, with 10 units per package, making it practical for service vans and supply inventory.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers in accordance with local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off the water supply and relieve line pressure before disassembly or fitting installation. Ensure tubing ends are cut square and deburred before seating the ferrule to achieve a leak-free compression joint. Do not overtighten compression nuts, as excess force can deform the ferrule and cause leaks.
