Anderson Metals Corp 710068-0404 1/4 Cmp X 1/4 Mpt Connector

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS CORP 710068-0404 is a compression-to-male-pipe-thread connector designed to join 1/4 inch compression tubing to a 1/4 inch male pipe thread fitting. It creates a secure, leak-resistant transition between compression and threaded plumbing connections in water supply, refrigeration, and gas distribution lines. The connector is lead free compliant and meets the requirements of Public Law 111-380, making it suitable for potable water applications where lead-free materials are mandated. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and licensed gas fitters install this type of fitting as part of routine service and new construction work.

This connector is commonly used in residential and light commercial plumbing and HVAC applications where a compression tube needs to terminate at a threaded port on a valve, manifold, appliance, or equipment fitting. Typical install scenarios include ice maker lines, refrigerant or gas appliance connections, and water supply stub-outs. The carded retail packaging makes it practical for service trucks and counter sales. Each package contains 10 units sold as an each (EA) unit of measure.

Installation Notes

Installation of compression fittings is typically performed by a licensed plumber or HVAC technician in accordance with local plumbing codes and the IPC. Shut off the water or gas supply and relieve system pressure before disassembling or installing any compression fitting. Hand-tighten the compression nut first, then use an adjustable wrench to snug the fitting — avoid over-tightening, which can crack the compression ring or distort the tubing. Inspect for leaks after restoring system pressure.
