Eaton 6100X2 Compression Tube Nut 5/16-24 Brass

Product Description

The EATON 6100X2 is a brass compression tube nut designed for use in compression fitting assemblies across plumbing, HVAC, and fluid transfer applications. Threaded at 5/16-24 and measuring 0.5 inches in overall length, this nut secures compression sleeves and ferrules against fitting bodies to create leak-resistant mechanical tube connections. Constructed from brass, the 6100X2 offers corrosion resistance and reliable performance across a wide service temperature range of -65 degrees F to 249 degrees F. It meets ASA and ASME standards and is appropriate for use by licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and refrigeration mechanics working on tubing systems.

This compression tube nut is suited for residential and light commercial installations where tubing connections must be secured at threaded fitting bodies. Common applications include water supply lines, instrument tubing, refrigeration piping, and similar fluid or gas transfer systems that rely on compression-style fittings. The 5/16-24 thread size targets small-diameter tubing work typical in control line and instrument service installations. This item is sold individually but carries a minimum order quantity of 10 units, making it appropriate for stocking by service shops and supply houses.

• Meets ASA and ASME standards for dimensional and material compliance
• Minimum order quantity of 10 units supports shop stocking and service van inventory

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service component for compression fitting assemblies requiring a 5/16-24 threaded tube nut in brass construction.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, or refrigeration mechanics. Shut off all fluid or gas supply and relieve system pressure before disassembling or installing compression fittings. Hand-tighten the nut onto the fitting body before applying a wrench to avoid cross-threading the brass threads. Follow applicable codes such as the IPC or IFGC for tubing connection requirements in the relevant system type.
