Anderson Metals Corp 710064-10 Compression Tee 5/8 in

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS CORP 710064-10 is a compression tee fitting designed for use with 5/8-inch tubing on all three ends. It creates a branch connection in a compression-style tubing system without the need for soldering, threading, or special tools beyond a wrench. The fitting is lead free compliant and meets the requirements of Public Law 111-380, making it suitable for use in potable water systems where lead-free materials are mandated. Plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting in residential and light commercial water supply lines, hydronic systems, and other low-pressure fluid handling applications.

This compression tee is used where a branch takeoff is needed in a 5/8-inch tube run. Typical installations include potable water distribution, refrigeration drain lines, and other fluid systems that use compression-style fittings. The tube-all-ends configuration means all three ports accept standard compression ferrules and nuts, allowing consistent connection to copper, brass, or compatible plastic tubing. It is sold in a package of 5 units per card, suited for service calls or small jobs requiring multiple fittings.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation compression tee for 5/8-inch tube systems requiring a branch connection in residential or light commercial plumbing applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter following applicable IPC and local plumbing code requirements. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before cutting into any active line. Ensure tubing ends are cut square and deburred before seating the ferrule to achieve a proper seal. Do not overtighten compression nuts, as excessive torque can deform the ferrule and cause leaks.
