Anderson Metals Corp 710082-0604 Compression Union

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS CORP 710082-0604 is a reducing compression union designed to connect a 3/8-inch compression line to a 1/4-inch compression line in a single inline fitting. It is lead free compliant and meets the requirements of Public Law 111-380, making it suitable for potable water applications. Plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting to transition between two different tubing sizes without soldering or threading. The union design allows both sides to be disconnected and reconnected as needed, which is useful during service or system modifications.

This compression union is a practical solution in residential and light commercial plumbing systems where copper or soft tubing lines of differing diameters need to be joined. Common applications include supply line connections, refrigeration tubing transitions, ice maker lines, and similar small-diameter plumbing runs. It is sold in a package of 10 units, making it well suited for contractors stocking fittings for multiple jobs or service calls.

Installation Notes

This fitting is installed by licensed plumbers or qualified pipefitters working on small-diameter compression tubing systems. Shut off the water supply and relieve line pressure before disassembling or installing any compression fitting. Ensure tubing ends are cut cleanly and deburred before seating the compression nut and ferrule. Follow applicable local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines for compression joint installations in potable water systems.
