Anderson Metals Corp 710559-05 Compression Sleeve 5/16 in 2PK

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS CORP 710559-05 is a 5/16-inch plastic compression sleeve with a brass insert, sold in a 2-pack. Compression sleeves, also called ferrules, create a leak-resistant mechanical seal when used with compression fittings on tubing runs. The brass insert reinforces the sleeve body, preventing deformation under compression load and extending service life in both hot and cold water applications. This product is lead free compliant and meets the requirements of Public Law 111-380, making it suitable for potable water installations where lead-free materials are mandated. Licensed plumbers and experienced pipe fitters are the primary installers.

This sleeve is used in residential and light commercial plumbing systems wherever 5/16-inch tubing is joined with compression-style fittings. Typical applications include supply line connections, fixture shut-off valve runs, and refrigeration or ice maker water supply lines. The carded retail packaging makes it a practical stocking item for service vans and supply rooms alike. It is designed for use with standard compression nuts and fittings of matching size.

Compatibility

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified pipe fitters following applicable local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off the water supply and relieve line pressure before disassembling any compression fitting. Slide the sleeve onto the tubing before threading the compression nut, and do not reuse a previously compressed sleeve as the deformed ferrule will not seat reliably. Hand-tighten the fitting first, then snug with a wrench without over-torquing, which can crack the plastic body.
