Product Description
The ANDERSON METALS CORP 710065-04 is a 1/4-inch compression x 1/4-inch compression elbow fitting designed for tube-to-tube connections in plumbing and fluid distribution systems. It accepts tubing on both ends via standard compression fittings, making it suitable for joining copper or compatible tubing runs where a directional change is required. This fitting is lead-free compliant and meets the requirements of Public Law 111-380, which mandates reduced lead content in plumbing products used in potable water applications. It is typically installed by licensed plumbers or experienced mechanical contractors working on residential or light commercial water supply systems.
This compression elbow is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing applications where a change of direction is needed in a tubing run. Common install scenarios include under-sink supply connections, refrigeration lines, ice maker connections, and similar small-diameter tubing systems. The fitting accommodates 1/4-inch OD tubing on both ends. Because it requires no soldering, it can be installed with basic hand tools in tight or confined spaces where torch work is impractical or restricted.
Key Features
- 1/4-inch compression inlet and outlet for secure, leak-resistant tube connections without soldering
- Tube-both-ends configuration allows direct connection of 1/4-inch OD tubing on each side
- Lead-free compliant meeting Public Law 111-380 for use in potable water systems

Compatibility
Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation compression elbow fitting for 1/4-inch OD tubing in residential and light commercial plumbing systems.
Installation Notes
Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the IPC. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before beginning any fitting work. Ensure tubing ends are cut cleanly and deburred before seating into the compression fitting to prevent leaks. Do not overtighten the compression nut, as this can deform the ferrule and compromise the seal.
