Brass Compression Insert Fitting, 5/16"

Anderson Metals Brass Compression Insert Fitting, 5/16"

The Anderson Metals Brass Compression Insert Fitting (5/16") is a durable brass insert designed to reinforce soft tubing when used with compression fittings. Installed inside the tubing, this insert helps maintain the tubing’s shape and prevents collapse when the compression nut is tightened. Manufactured from solid brass, it offers excellent corrosion resistance and dependable performance in plumbing, fluid transfer, and low-pressure systems—because when tubing stays round, compression fittings seal the way they’re supposed to.
