Anderson Metals Corp 719106-04 Compression Needle Valve

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS CORP 719106-04 is a compression needle valve with tube fittings on both ends, sized at 1/4 inch by 1/4 inch. Needle valves provide precise flow control by allowing incremental throttling of fluid or gas through a tapered pin mechanism. This valve is lead free compliant and meets the requirements of Public Law 111-380, making it suitable for potable water and plumbing applications where low-lead standards apply. It is a stock item for licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and refrigeration techs who need reliable, code-compliant shutoff or flow-control points in compression-tubing systems.

This valve is used in residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC, and refrigeration service work wherever 1/4 inch compression tube connections are required. Typical applications include ice maker supply lines, refrigerant or oil sample ports, laboratory gas lines, and instrumentation tubing runs. The compression-style ends eliminate the need for soldering or threading, making installation straightforward in tight spaces or retrofit situations. It ships in a carded pack of 5 units, convenient for stocking a service van or supply room.

Key Features

• 1/4 inch by 1/4 inch compression fittings on both ends — no soldering or threading required
• Needle valve design allows precise incremental flow control and shutoff
• Lead free compliant — meets Public Law 111-380 low-lead requirements for potable water systems
• Carded pack of 5 for convenient service van or shop stocking

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service fitting for any system using 1/4 inch compression tube connections where a needle valve is required for flow control or isolation.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or qualified HVAC or refrigeration technician. Shut off and depressurize the supply line before removing any existing fitting or valve. Compression fittings require proper tube preparation — ensure the tube end is cut square, deburred, and fully seated before tightening the compression nut. Do not overtighten; follow applicable IPC or IFGC guidelines for compression joint assembly.
