Boshart BC 61P No-Lead Brass Compression Insert Fitting

Boshart BC 61P No-Lead Brass Compression Insert Fitting

The Boshart BC 61P is a no-lead brass compression insert fitting built for rough-in plumbers who need a dependable mechanical connection on tubing runs carrying water, air, vacuum, oil, gasoline, or grease. Available in 1/4" and 3/8" sizes, this insert-style compression fitting is engineered to work with copper, brass, aluminum, plastic, CPVC, and PEX tubing, giving contractors one fitting family that spans multiple tubing materials on a jobsite. Because it relies on a compression nut and ferrule rather than solder or solvent weld, the BC 61P is well suited for low to medium pressure lines where a fast, tool-friendly, leak-resistant joint is needed without heat or open flame. The brass body resists corrosion in wet rough-in environments, and the no-lead alloy makes it appropriate for potable water applications where lead-free components are required by the installer or local code. Boshart supplies the BC 61P in bulk packaging of 50 pieces per case, making it a practical stock item for plumbing wholesalers, service trucks, and production plumbing crews who install compression fittings in volume across both available sizes.

Key Features

• Size Range: Offered in 1/4" and 3/8" sizes to cover common rough-in tubing diameters.
• No-Lead Brass Construction: Machined from brass and manufactured to a no-lead standard, suitable for potable water rough-in work as well as general-purpose fluid and air lines.
• Compression Insert Design: Insert-style compression fitting creates a mechanical seal without soldering, torches, or solvent cement, speeding up installation in tight or occupied spaces.
• Multi-Material Tubing Compatibility: Designed to work with copper, brass, aluminum, plastic, CPVC, and PEX tubing, reducing the number of fitting types a plumber has to stock for mixed-material jobs.
• Low to Medium Pressure Service: Rated for use on gasoline, grease, oil, water, vacuum, and air lines in low to medium pressure applications.
• Vibration Resistance Tip: Boshart recommends pairing this insert with a long compression nut in applications where vibration is present, for added holding resistance at the joint.
• Bulk Case Packaging: Packaged 50 pieces per case for wholesalers and contractors who need consistent stock of a commonly used rough-in fitting.
