Anderson Metals Corp 750069-0806 Brass 90 Elbow 1/2 Cmp X 3/8 Mpt

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS CORP 750069-0806 is a 90 degree brass compression elbow fitting designed to transition between a 1/2 inch compression connection and a 3/8 inch male pipe thread (MPT). It delivers a reliable, leak-resistant directional change in potable water and fluid distribution lines. The fitting is manufactured from lead free brass, meeting compliance requirements under Public Law 111-380, making it suitable for use in drinking water systems where lead free materials are mandated. Plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting during rough-in and finish plumbing work where a 90 degree change of direction is needed between dissimilar connection types.

This elbow fitting is used in residential and light commercial plumbing applications, including supply line connections to faucets, valves, ice makers, and similar fixtures. It is suited for copper tubing systems where a compression-to-male pipe thread transition is required at a 90 degree angle. The fitting ships in bulk packaging with a package quantity of 5 units, making it practical for service contractors stocking common transition fittings.

Key Features

• 1/2 inch compression inlet connects directly to copper or compatible soft tubing without soldering

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for residential and light commercial plumbing systems requiring a 1/2 inch compression to 3/8 inch male pipe thread 90 degree transition.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber. Shut off the water supply and relieve line pressure before beginning work. Compression fittings require proper tube preparation and seating of the compression ring against the ferrule — do not overtighten, as this can deform the ferrule and cause leaks. Thread connections should be made with appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape per local plumbing code requirements, typically governed by the IPC or applicable local amendments.
