Value Collection KP74334 Brass Compression Tube Nut 5/16 in Od

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION KP74334 is a brass compression tube nut designed to secure compression fittings on tubing with a 5/16 inch outside diameter. This nut is a standard component in compression-style connections, providing a reliable mechanical seal when paired with a compression sleeve and fitting body. Brass construction offers corrosion resistance and durability in both wet and dry service environments. Sold in a pack of 10, this nut suits maintenance, repair, and installation work across plumbing, HVAC, and refrigeration tubing applications. Licensed tradespeople and experienced technicians typically install compression fittings as part of fluid or gas line assemblies.

Compression tube nuts in this size are commonly used in residential and light commercial plumbing systems, HVAC refrigerant line sets, and pneumatic control tubing. The 5/16 inch OD specification matches standard soft copper, aluminum, and nylon tubing used in a range of service connections. This 10-pack format suits service technicians who stock commonly used hardware on the truck or in the shop for fast turnaround on repairs and new installations.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-stock compression tube nut for use with 5/16 inch OD tubing in compression fitting assemblies across plumbing, HVAC, and refrigeration applications.

Installation Notes

Compression tube nuts are installed by licensed plumbers and HVAC technicians as part of compression fitting assemblies. Always shut off the water supply or isolate the refrigerant or fluid circuit before removing or installing compression fittings. Hand-tighten the nut onto the fitting body before applying a wrench; over-tightening can deform the compression sleeve and cause leaks. Follow applicable codes including IPC and IFGC for plumbing and gas line applications.
