3/8 inch OD Brass Compression Sleeve, Lead-Free

BrassCraft 60-6 – 3/8 inch OD Brass Compression Sleeve

The BrassCraft 60-6 compression sleeve is a 3/8 inch outside diameter fitting component used to create a reliable mechanical seal on copper, aluminum, or plastic tubing (when supported with a tube insert). Constructed from solid brass, it provides corrosion resistance and long-term durability in fluid, air, or gas line installations.

Performance Overview

Designed for use in compression fitting assemblies, this sleeve forms a tight seal when compressed between the nut and the fitting body, eliminating the need for soldering or flaring. It supports applications with pressures up to 200 psi and temperatures ranging from -65°F to 250°F.

Product Specifications
