Anderson Metals Corp 710068-0608 Cmp X Mpt Connector

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS CORP 710068-0608 is a compression-to-male-pipe-thread connector designed for joining 3/8 inch compression tubing to 1/2 inch male pipe thread fittings. It provides a reliable, leak-resistant mechanical connection without soldering, making it a practical choice for water supply lines and plumbing distribution systems. This fitting is lead free compliant and meets the requirements of Public Law 111-380, which mandates lead-free materials in fittings used for potable water applications. Plumbers and pipefitters install this type of connector during new construction, retrofit work, and repair of residential and light commercial plumbing systems.

This connector is suited for potable water supply applications where a transition from compression tubing to a threaded pipe connection is required. Typical installations include under-sink supply lines, appliance hookups, and branch connections in water distribution piping. The carded packaging makes it appropriate for both shop stock and job-site use. Each package contains 10 units, allowing technicians to keep an adequate supply on hand for common repair and installation tasks.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-use fitting for residential and light commercial plumbing systems requiring a 3/8 inch compression to 1/2 inch male pipe thread transition connection.

Installation Notes

This fitting is installed by licensed plumbers in accordance with applicable local codes and the International Plumbing Code. Shut off the water supply and relieve line pressure before beginning any fitting replacement or new installation. Compression fittings require proper seating of the ferrule against the tubing; do not overtighten, as this can deform the ferrule or damage the tubing. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male pipe threads before making the threaded connection.
