It creates a leak-resistant mechanical connection without soldering, making it a reliable choice for water supply, refrigeration, and light plumbing applications. The fitting is lead free compliant and meets the requirements of Public Law 111-380, making it suitable for use in potable water systems where lead-free standards are enforced. Licensed plumbers and HVAC technicians install this type of connector during new construction and retrofit work on copper, aluminum, or compatible soft tubing lines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis connector is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing and HVAC applications where a 5\/16-inch compression tube must terminate at a 1\/8-inch male pipe thread port. Typical installations include ice maker lines, water filtration connections, instrument tubing, and small-diameter refrigerant or pneumatic lines. It ships in a carded package of 10 units, making it practical for stocking in a service van or parts room. The compression design allows field installation without specialized tools beyond a properly sized wrench.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5\/16-inch compression inlet connects to 1\/8-inch male pipe thread outlet\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLead free compliant per Public Law 111-380 for potable water service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNo-solder compression design allows fast field installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCarded retail packaging with 10 units per package\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSuitable for water supply, instrumentation, and light-duty HVAC tubing runs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for systems requiring a 5\/16-inch compression to 1\/8-inch male pipe thread transition in plumbing or HVAC applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by a licensed plumber or qualified HVAC technician. Shut off the water supply or depressurize the line before making or breaking any compression fitting. Hand-tighten the compression nut onto the pipe thread port first, then snug with a wrench — avoid over-tightening, which can crack the ferrule or distort the seat. Verify the tubing is cut cleanly and seated fully before torquing the compression nut to ensure a leak-free joint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompression Tube Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePipe Thread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/8 inches male pipe thread\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Compression x Male Pipe Thread\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLead Free Compliant\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes, meets Public Law 111-380\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 10 per package\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.6 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: ANDERSON METALS CORP\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 710068-0502\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ANDERSON METALS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51559765934386,"sku":"710068-0502","price":37.52,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/f330967568c7e903652bdcb46bafb2cd_28b769ab-adc9-4535-85cf-ce977792c13e.jpg?v=1786440412","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/anderson-metals-corp-710068-0502-compression-connector","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
