Anderson Metals Corp 710068-0402 Compression Mpt Connector

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS CORP 710068-0402 is a compression to male pipe thread connector designed to join a 1/4 inch compression fitting to a 1/8 inch male pipe thread (MPT) port. This type of fitting creates a secure, leak-resistant connection between copper or compatible tubing and a threaded fitting or valve body. It is lead free compliant and meets the requirements of Public Law 111-380, making it suitable for potable water applications. Plumbers and HVAC technicians commonly install this fitting in residential and light commercial systems where a tube-to-thread transition is required.

This connector is suited for use in potable water supply lines, refrigeration service connections, and HVAC systems where a compression-to-threaded transition is needed at a valve, gauge port, or equipment fitting. The 1/4 inch compression end accepts standard copper or compatible tubing, while the 1/8 inch MPT end threads into a female-threaded port. It ships in a carded package with a quantity of 10 units per package, making it practical for service technicians who need multiples on hand for routine jobs.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service fitting for residential and light commercial plumbing and HVAC systems requiring a 1/4 inch compression to 1/8 inch male pipe thread transition.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified HVAC technicians. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before fitting installation. The compression end requires a ferrule and nut tightened with an appropriately sized wrench — do not overtighten, as this can deform the ferrule or crack the fitting body. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male pipe threads in accordance with local plumbing codes before threading into the receiving port.
