Anderson Metals Corp 750066-1012 Brass Compression Adapter

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS CORP 750066-1012 is a brass compression-to-female pipe thread adapter designed to transition a 5/8-inch compression fitting connection to a 3/4-inch female pipe thread (FPT) port. Constructed from brass, this adapter is lead-free compliant and meets the requirements of Public Law 111-380, making it suitable for potable water installations where lead-free fittings are mandated. Plumbers and pipefitters use this adapter where a compression-style supply line or tubing run must terminate at a threaded female port on a valve, fixture, or appliance inlet. The part is sold in bulk packaging with a package quantity of 5 units per package.

This adapter is appropriate for residential and light commercial plumbing applications, including water supply connections at sinks, appliances, and shutoff valves where 5/8-inch OD tubing meets a 3/4-inch FPT threaded port. It is well suited for copper or compatible tubing runs where a leak-free mechanical compression seal is preferred over a soldered joint. Lead-free compliance makes it a code-required choice in jurisdictions enforcing the Reduction of Lead in Drinking Water Act standards.

Key Features

• 5/8-inch compression inlet transitions to 3/4-inch female pipe thread outlet

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for plumbing systems requiring a 5/8-inch compression to 3/4-inch female pipe thread transition in potable water supply lines.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified pipefitters. Shut off the water supply and relieve line pressure before making any fitting connections. Ensure tubing ends are cut square, deburred, and clean before seating the compression ferrule. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads engaging the FPT port in accordance with local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines; do not overtighten the compression nut, as brass fittings can crack under excessive torque.
