Anderson Metals Corp 710069-0606 3/8 Elbow Cmp X Mpt

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS CORP 710069-0606 is a 3/8 inch compression by 3/8 inch male pipe thread (MPT) elbow fitting designed for making a 90-degree directional change in a compression-to-threaded pipe connection. This fitting is lead free compliant and meets the requirements of Public Law 111-380, making it suitable for use in potable water systems where lead-free materials are mandated. The compression end accepts 3/8 inch OD tubing, while the male pipe thread end connects to standard female-threaded fittings or valves. Plumbers and pipefitters use this type of elbow when routing tubing around corners or changing run direction in tight spaces.

This elbow is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing applications including water supply lines, fixture connections, and distribution tubing runs. The compression connection eliminates the need for soldering or crimping at that end, allowing for a faster, tool-assisted mechanical connection. The MPT end threads into a corresponding female port on a valve, manifold, or fixture fitting. It is packaged on a card in a quantity of 10 units per package, making it convenient for stocking on a service truck or supply room shelf.

Installation Notes

This fitting is installed by licensed plumbers or qualified pipefitters. Shut off the water supply and relieve line pressure before beginning work. The compression end requires a properly cut, deburred tube end and should be tightened with two wrenches to avoid over-torquing. The MPT end should be wrapped with thread sealant tape or pipe dope before threading into the female fitting. Follow applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements for potable water fittings.
