Anderson Metals Corp 710069-0604 Compression Elbow

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS CORP 710069-0604 is a 3/8 inch compression by 1/4 inch male pipe thread (MPT) elbow fitting designed for use in potable water and fluid distribution systems. This elbow transitions a 3/8 inch compression tubing connection to a 1/4 inch male pipe thread port, making it a reliable choice for angled directional changes in tight plumbing runs. The fitting is lead free compliant and meets the requirements of Public Law 111-380, which governs lead content in plumbing products used in drinking water applications. Sold in a package of 10, it is carded for easy point-of-use identification.

This compression-to-MPT elbow is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing installations where a 90-degree directional change is needed between tubing and a threaded port. Typical applications include water supply lines, filtration systems, ice makers, and other small-diameter fluid distribution connections. The 3/8 inch compression end accepts standard soft copper or compatible tubing, while the 1/4 inch MPT end threads directly into female pipe thread ports on valves, manifolds, or equipment.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified tradespeople in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before removing any existing fittings or making new connections. Ensure the compression ferrule is properly seated on the tubing and hand-tighten the compression nut before applying a final wrench turn to avoid over-compression. Apply thread sealant tape or compound to the MPT threads as required by local code before engaging the threaded connection.
