Anderson Metals Corp 710068-0602 Cmp X Mpt Connector

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS CORP 710068-0602 is a compression-to-male-pipe-thread connector designed for joining 3/8 inch compression tubing to 1/8 inch male pipe thread fittings. It provides a secure, leak-resistant transition between compression and threaded connections in water supply and distribution piping systems. The fitting is lead free compliant and meets the requirements of Public Law 111-380, making it suitable for potable water applications. Plumbers and pipefitters install this type of connector during rough-in and finish plumbing on both residential and light commercial jobs. The package contains 10 pieces, sold as a carded unit.

This connector is used in potable water supply lines, fixture connections, and other low-pressure piping applications where a transition from compression tubing to a threaded fitting is required. It is appropriate for residential plumbing repairs, new construction rough-in, and light commercial service work. The 3/8 inch compression end accepts standard soft or semi-rigid tubing, while the 1/8 inch male pipe thread end connects to threaded ports on valves, gauges, or fixtures. Lead free compliance makes it a code-legal choice in jurisdictions that enforce Public Law 111-380 standards for wetted surface materials.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the IPC. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before making any connections. Hand-tighten the compression nut first, then snug with a wrench — do not overtighten, as excessive force can deform the compression ferrule and cause leaks. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male pipe thread end before connecting to threaded ports.
