Anderson Metals Corp 719103-0402 90 Degree Needle Valve

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS CORP 719103-0402 is a 90-degree needle valve designed for precise flow control in compression-to-threaded piping connections. It features a 1/4 inch compression inlet and a 1/8 inch male iron pipe (MIP) outlet, making it a compact fitting for tight-space installations. This valve is lead free compliant and meets the requirements of Public Law 111-380, which mandates lead-free standards for fittings used in potable water systems. Licensed plumbers and HVAC technicians install this type of valve in both residential and light commercial applications where fine flow adjustment is required at a transition point between tubing and threaded pipe.

This needle valve is suited for use in plumbing, HVAC, and refrigeration systems where a 90-degree turn is needed at the connection point. The compression-by-MIP configuration allows it to transition from soft copper or compatible tubing directly to a threaded pipe fitting. It is typically found in equipment rooms, under fixtures, or at appliance supply connections. Sold in a package quantity of 10, it is well suited for contractors stocking service vehicles or completing multi-unit installations. The carded packaging makes jobsite inventory management straightforward.

Installation Notes

This valve should be installed by a licensed plumber or qualified HVAC technician in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before installation. Compression fittings should be tightened to hand-tight plus an appropriate number of turns using a properly sized wrench — do not overtighten, as this can crack the compression ring or fitting body. Verify lead-free compliance requirements with local authorities having jurisdiction before installing in potable water systems.
