Anderson Metals Corp 710068-0604 Cmp X Mpt Connector

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS CORP 710068-0604 is a compression-to-male-pipe-thread connector designed for joining 3/8-inch compression tubing to 1/4-inch male pipe thread fittings. This brass-style fitting creates a leak-resistant mechanical connection without soldering, making it a practical choice for plumbing, refrigeration, and gas-line service work. The fitting meets the lead-free requirements of Public Law 111-380, which mandates lead-free materials for fittings used in potable water systems. Licensed plumbers and HVAC technicians are the primary installers of this type of connector in both residential and light commercial settings.

This connector is suited for applications where a compression line must terminate or transition into a threaded pipe connection. Typical install scenarios include water supply lines, ice maker hookups, saddle valve connections, and low-pressure refrigerant or gas piping where compression fittings are specified. The package quantity is 10 pieces per unit, making it a practical stock item for service vans and supply rooms. Its lead-free compliance makes it appropriate for potable water service wherever local codes require it.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or qualified HVAC technician. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before disassembling any existing fittings. Hand-tighten the compression nut first, then use an appropriately sized wrench to snug the connection without overtightening, which can crack the ferrule or distort the fitting seat. Follow all applicable local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines for fitting selection and installation in potable water systems.
