Anderson Metals W-16678- Compression Hose Splicer 3/8 in

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS W-16678- is a compression tube hose splicer designed to join two lengths of tubing or hose in a straight inline configuration. It uses compression-style fittings to create a secure, leak-resistant connection without soldering or threading. This type of fitting is commonly found in plumbing, HVAC, and fluid-transfer systems where a reliable inline splice is needed. The 3/8 inch thread size makes it suitable for standard light-duty tubing runs. Installation is straightforward and is typically handled by licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, or experienced trades professionals working on low-pressure fluid lines.

This splicer is suited for residential and light commercial applications where two sections of tubing must be joined mid-run. Common install scenarios include repair splices on damaged tubing, system extensions, and retrofit connections in tight spaces. The compression design eliminates the need for open flame or specialty tools, making it practical for field service work. This fitting ships in a package quantity of 5, which is useful for service vans and maintenance stock.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or HVAC technician. Shut off the water supply or isolate the fluid line and relieve system pressure before beginning work. Ensure tubing ends are cut cleanly and squarely for proper compression seat engagement. Follow all applicable local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines when making connections in potable water or pressurized fluid systems.
