Anderson Metals Corp 750069-0608 Brass 90 Degree Elbow

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS CORP 750069-0608 is a brass 90-degree elbow fitting designed to transition between a 3/8-inch compression connection and a 1/2-inch male pipe thread (MPT) connection. It is used to change flow direction by 90 degrees while bridging two common connection types in a single compact body. The fitting is manufactured from brass and meets the lead-free requirements of Public Law 111-380, making it suitable for potable water applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting during new construction and service work on water supply lines.

This elbow is appropriate for residential and light commercial plumbing systems where a direction change and a compression-to-MPT transition are needed at the same point. Typical applications include water supply connections at fixtures, appliances, and shutoff valves where copper tubing meets a threaded port. The fitting is sold in bulk quantities of 10 units per package, making it practical for contractors stocking service vehicles or completing multi-unit installations.

Compatibility

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before removing any existing fitting or making new connections. Ensure the compression sleeve and nut are properly seated on the tubing before tightening; do not overtighten the compression nut, as this can deform the ferrule and cause leaks. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male pipe threads before making up the threaded connection.
