Anderson Metals Corp 710068-0406 Cmp X Mpt Connector

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS CORP 710068-0406 is a compression-to-male iron pipe thread connector designed to join 1/4 inch compression tubing to 3/8 inch male iron pipe thread (MPT) fittings. This transition connector is used wherever a copper or plastic compression line must terminate into a threaded pipe fitting on equipment, valves, or supply lines. 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 rely on this fitting type for clean, reliable connections in tight spaces where soldering is not practical.

This connector is appropriate for residential and light commercial plumbing and HVAC applications. Typical installations include connecting refrigerant or water supply tubing to threaded equipment ports, ice maker lines, water treatment equipment, and similar service points. The compression end accepts standard 1/4 inch OD tubing while the 3/8 inch MPT end threads into a female pipe fitting or valve body. It ships in a package quantity of 10 units per package, making it practical for stocking service vehicles or supply rooms.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified HVAC technicians. Shut off the water or fluid supply and relieve system pressure before making connections. Hand-tighten the compression nut onto the tubing, then snug with a wrench — do not overtighten, as over-compression can deform the ferrule and cause leaks. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to the MPT threads per local plumbing code requirements before threading into the female port.
