Eaton 601X2 Compression Tube Sleeve Brass

Product Description

The EATON 601X2 is a brass compression tube sleeve designed to join two compression-end tube connections in a single inline fitting. This sleeve maintains a leak-resistant seal across a wide service temperature range, rated from -65 degrees F to 250 degrees F (approximately -53 degrees C to 121 degrees C). At 0.20 inches overall length, it is a compact fitting suited for tight installations. Plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians install this type of sleeve when splicing or extending tubing runs where compression fittings are already specified in the system.

This compression tube sleeve is appropriate for residential and light commercial plumbing, refrigeration, and HVAC tubing applications where a Compression x Compression inline connection is required. Its brass construction offers solid corrosion resistance and durability in typical wet or pressurized service environments. The sleeve fits into standard compression fitting configurations and does not require soldering, flaring, or special tooling beyond a wrench.

Key Features

• Brass construction provides corrosion resistance for wet and pressurized service conditions
• Compression x Compression end connections on both sides for tool-free, solder-free installation
• Rated to 121 degrees C (250 degrees F) maximum service temperature
• Rated to -53 degrees C (-65 degrees F) minimum service temperature
• Compact 0.20 inch overall length suits confined or tight installation spaces

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-service fitting for compression tube systems in residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC, and refrigeration tubing applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or HVAC technician. Shut off and depressurize the supply line before disassembly or fitting installation. Hand-tighten the compression nuts onto the sleeve body, then snug with a wrench — avoid over-torquing brass compression fittings, as this can crack the ferrule or distort the sleeve seat. Verify the connection is leak-free under pressure before returning the system to service.
