Anderson Metals Corp 710069-0608 Cmp X Mpt Elbow

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS CORP 710069-0608 is a 3/8 inch compression by 1/2 inch male pipe thread (MPT) elbow fitting designed for connecting compression tubing runs to threaded pipe at a 90-degree change in direction. 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. Plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting in water supply lines, fixture connections, and small-diameter distribution runs. The compression end accepts standard 3/8 inch OD tubing, while the 1/2 inch MPT end threads directly into a female-threaded port or valve body.

This elbow is used in residential and light commercial plumbing applications where a direction change is needed between a compression tubing line and a threaded connection point. Typical install scenarios include under-sink supply connections, fixture shutoff valve outlets, and appliance water supply hookups. Each package contains 10 pieces, making this a practical restocking unit for service vans or shop inventory. The fitting is sold carded, consistent with counter-sale and retail distribution formats common in plumbing supply.

Installation Notes

Installation of compression fittings is typically performed by a licensed plumber. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before beginning work. Ensure tubing is cut cleanly and squarely and that the compression sleeve and nut are seated correctly before tightening — overtightening can deform the sleeve and cause leaks. Work must comply with applicable local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC) where adopted.
