Eaton 601X6 Compression Tube Sleeve Brass Fitting

Product Description

The EATON 601X6 is a straight brass compression tube sleeve designed for compression-to-compression tube connections in fluid and gas plumbing systems. The sleeve fits over tubing ends and compresses to form a leak-resistant mechanical seal without soldering or adhesives. At 0.26 inches in overall length, it is a compact inline fitting suited for tight spaces. Brass construction provides corrosion resistance and durability across a wide service temperature range. Licensed plumbers and HVAC technicians rely on this type of fitting for reliable field repairs and new installations in both residential and light commercial applications.

This sleeve is used wherever a compression-style tube union or repair coupling is needed. Typical applications include potable water supply lines, refrigeration tubing, pneumatic control lines, and other fluid-handling systems that require a removable or repositionable mechanical joint. The straight configuration makes it a direct inline connector. Its rated temperature range of -65 degrees F to 250 degrees F supports both low-temperature and standard service environments, making it appropriate for a variety of system types handled by plumbing and HVAC trades.

Key Features

• Compression x Compression end connections for tool-accessible, solder-free installation
• Brass material resists corrosion in water, refrigerant, and pneumatic service
• Straight fitting shape for direct inline tube-to-tube connections
• Compact 0.26 inch overall length fits in space-constrained installations
• Rated for service from -65 degrees F to 250 degrees F

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style compression sleeve for use with standard compression fittings in plumbing, HVAC, and pneumatic tubing systems where a brass straight sleeve is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or HVAC technicians following applicable IPC and IFGC guidelines. Shut off the water or fluid supply and relieve system pressure before disassembling any compression joint. Ensure tubing ends are cut square and deburred before seating the sleeve to achieve a proper seal. Do not overtighten compression nuts, as excessive force can deform the sleeve and cause leaks.
