Anderson Metals Corp 710066-1008 Compression Fip Adapter

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS CORP 710066-1008 is a compression-to-female iron pipe (FIP) transition adapter used in residential and light commercial plumbing systems. It connects a 5/8-inch compression fitting to a 1/2-inch female iron pipe thread, allowing a smooth transition between compression tubing and threaded pipe connections. This fitting is lead free compliant and meets the requirements of Public Law 111-380, making it suitable for use in potable water applications. Licensed plumbers and experienced pipe fitters install this type of adapter during fixture connections, supply line repairs, and water distribution rough-in work.

This adapter is appropriate for potable water supply lines where a compression tube end must terminate into a female threaded port. Common applications include under-sink supply connections, fixture shutoff installations, and water distribution tie-ins where tubing meets a threaded fitting. The package quantity is 10 pieces per unit, making it practical for service vans and supply stock. The fitting is carded for retail and counter-sale convenience.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off the water supply and relieve line pressure before removing or installing any compression fitting. Do not overtighten the compression nut, as excessive force can crack the fitting body or deform the ferrule. Confirm thread engagement and compression seating are correct before restoring water pressure and checking for leaks.
