Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS CORP 738103-08 is a 1/2 inch rough brass coupling designed for joining same-diameter pipe sections in residential and commercial plumbing systems. Constructed from rough brass, this coupling meets lead free compliance requirements under Public Law 111-380, making it suitable for potable water installations where lead content restrictions apply.
