Anderson Metals Corp 759199-04 Compression Needle Valve

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS CORP 759199-04 is a self-drilling compression needle valve designed for precise flow control in plumbing and mechanical systems. With a 1/4-inch compression inlet and a 1/8-inch outlet, this valve allows installers to tap into copper or soft tubing lines without pre-drilling a separate pilot hole. The self-drilling tip speeds up installation and reduces the number of steps in the service call. It is lead-free compliant and meets the requirements of Public Law 111-380, making it suitable for potable water applications where lead-free materials are mandated by code.

This compression needle valve is used in residential and light commercial plumbing installations where a branch connection or flow-control point is needed on existing tubing. Typical applications include ice maker lines, water filtration saddle connections, and similar small-diameter branch fittings. Plumbers and HVAC technicians who service refrigeration or water-supply lines will find this valve suited to quick branch-tap work. It is sold in a package of 5 units, making it practical for stocking on a service truck or in a shop inventory.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the IPC. Shut off the water supply and relieve line pressure before installing or replacing any compression fitting. Ensure tubing ends are cut square and deburred before seating the compression sleeve to prevent leaks. Do not overtighten the compression nut, as this can deform the ferrule and compromise the seal.
