Product Description
The ANDERSON METALS CORP 700061-10 is a 5/8-inch brass compression nut sold in a bulk pack of 10 units. Compression nuts are used to secure compression fittings onto tubing, creating a leak-resistant mechanical seal without soldering. This nut is machined from brass and meets the lead-free requirements of Public Law 111-380, making it compliant for use in potable water systems. It is a standard item for plumbers and pipefitters working on residential and light commercial water supply lines.
This compression nut is suited for 5/8-inch OD tubing applications in potable water supply, water distribution, and related plumbing assemblies. The bulk pack of 10 makes it practical for service trucks and shop stock. Typical installations include under-sink supply connections, water line repairs, and fixture hookups where compression-style fittings are specified.

Installation Notes
Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified pipefitters. Shut off the water supply and relieve line pressure before disassembling any compression fitting.
