Anderson Metals Corp 750068-1012 Brass Cmp X Mpt Connector

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS CORP 750068-1012 is a lead-free brass compression-to-male-pipe-thread connector designed for joining compression tubing to threaded pipe fittings in plumbing and mechanical systems. The inlet accepts 5/8 inch compression tubing, while the outlet is a 3/4 inch male pipe thread (MPT). Machined from brass, this connector provides reliable sealing under normal water supply pressures. It meets the lead-free requirements of Public Law 111-380, making it suitable for use in potable water applications where low lead content is mandated by code.

This connector is used in residential and light commercial plumbing installations where a transition is needed between compression-type tubing and a threaded pipe fitting. Typical applications include water supply lines, fixture connections, and equipment hookups where a field-serviceable compression connection is preferred over a permanent solder joint. The package quantity is 5 units per package, making it practical for service trucks and multi-unit jobs.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-use fitting for plumbing systems requiring a 5/8 inch compression to 3/4 inch male pipe thread transition in potable or non-potable water supply lines.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with the International Plumbing Code (IPC) and applicable local codes. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before installing or removing any compression fitting. Hand-tighten the compression nut first, then use an appropriately sized wrench to snug the nut — do not overtighten, as this can crack the ferrule or distort the seating surface. Apply thread sealant tape or compound to the male pipe threads as required by local code before making the threaded connection.
