Anderson Metals Corp 710066-0608 Cmp X Fip Adapter

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS CORP 710066-0608 is a 3/8-inch compression by 1/2-inch female iron pipe (FIP) adapter designed for connecting compression tubing to female-threaded iron pipe fittings in potable water and general plumbing systems. This fitting transitions between two common connection types in a single compact body and complies with lead-free requirements under Public Law 111-380, making it suitable for use in drinking water applications. Plumbers and pipefitters install this adapter in residential and light commercial water supply lines where a compression tube needs to terminate at a female NPT port.

This adapter is commonly installed in residential water supply systems, under-sink connections, and anywhere a compression line must join a female iron pipe threaded fitting. The 3/8-inch compression inlet accepts standard 3/8-inch OD tubing, while the 1/2-inch FIP outlet threads onto male NPT fittings. Its lead-free construction satisfies requirements for potable water service in jurisdictions that enforce Public Law 111-380 standards. Sold in packages of 10, it suits stocking for service trucks or shop inventory.

Installation Notes

Installation is 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 disassembling any existing fittings. Hand-tighten the compression nut onto the tubing, then snug with a wrench — do not overtighten, as compression fittings can crack or deform the ferrule. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male NPT threads before engaging the FIP end.
