3/8 in. x 5/8 in. Sweat Adapter
Overview
The Anderson Metals 00086-0610 is a brass adapter that transitions a 3/8 in. compression tube connection to a 5/8 in. sweat (solder) socket. It lets you tie soft copper, aluminum, or thermoplastic tubing into a sweated copper line: the 5/8 in. socket solders onto pipe while the 9/16-24 compression nut grips the tube. Rated to 200 psi for low- and medium-pressure service.

FAQ
Is the 5/8 in. sweat end measured by tube OD?
Yes. The 5/8 in. sweat socket accepts 5/8 in. OD copper tube for soldering.
Can I solder with the compression nut attached?
Back the compression nut and sleeve away from the joint while sweating to protect them from heat, then assemble the tube side after the solder joint cools.
What pressure can it handle?
It is rated to 200 psi for low- and medium-pressure service without heavy vibration.
What tubing does the compression end fit?
3/8 in. copper, aluminum, or thermoplastic tubing.
