Anderson Metals Corp 710065-06 Compression Elbow 3/8 in

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS CORP 710065-06 is a 3/8-inch compression x 3/8-inch compression elbow fitting designed to join two lengths of tubing at a 90-degree angle without soldering or special tooling. Both ends accept compression-style tube connections, making this fitting suitable for water supply lines, refrigeration tubing, and similar small-diameter piping applications. The fitting meets Public Law 111-380 lead-free compliance requirements, making it appropriate for potable water installations. It ships in a retail-carded format with a package quantity of 10 units per pack.

This elbow is used in residential and light commercial plumbing installations where a direction change is needed in a 3/8-inch tube run. Common applications include under-sink water supply connections, ice maker lines, and similar low-pressure copper or compatible tubing systems. The compression connection design suits installers working in tight spaces where torch work is impractical or prohibited. Licensed plumbers and qualified mechanical contractors are the typical installers for potable water applications.

• Lead-free compliant per Public Law 111-380 for potable water use

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 3/8-inch OD compression tube applications in residential and light commercial plumbing systems.

Installation Notes

Shut off the water supply and relieve line pressure before beginning any fitting installation. Ensure the tubing end is cut square and free of burrs before seating it into the compression fitting. Hand-tighten the compression nut first, then snug with a wrench — avoid overtightening, which can crack the ferrule or distort the tubing. Installation in potable water systems should comply with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC requirements.
