Anderson Metals Corp 710068-1006 Cmp X Mpt Connector 10pk

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS CORP 710068-1006 is a 5/8 inch Compression by 3/8 inch Male Pipe Thread (MPT) connector used to join compression tubing to threaded pipe fittings in plumbing and mechanical systems. This fitting is lead free compliant and meets the requirements of Public Law 111-380, making it suitable for potable water applications where low-lead standards are required. It is sold in a carded pack of 10 units, making it a practical choice for jobs that require multiple connections. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers of this type of fitting.

This connector is used in residential and light commercial plumbing installations where a transition from compression tubing to a male pipe thread connection is needed. Typical applications include water supply lines, under-sink connections, and similar potable water distribution points. The 5/8 inch compression end seats against soft copper or compatible tubing, while the 3/8 inch MPT end threads into a female-threaded port on a valve, fixture, or pipe fitting. Each pack contains 10 connectors, suitable for multi-fixture or multi-unit installations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before making any connections. Hand-tighten the compression nut first, then use an appropriate wrench to seat the ferrule without overtightening. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male pipe threads before threading into the receiving fitting.
