It transitions from a compression-style tube end to a 1\/2 inch male NPT thread, making it a practical fitting for plumbing, refrigeration, and fluid-transfer lines. Constructed from lead free brass, this connector meets current lead-free material requirements for potable water systems. With a maximum working pressure rating of 3000 psi, it is built for demanding service conditions. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers for this type of fitting in both residential and commercial applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis connector is suited for installations where a compression tube end must mate to a 1\/2 inch NPT male threaded port. Typical applications include water supply lines, pneumatic control tubing, and light hydraulic runs where a leak-free mechanical connection is required without soldering or flaring. The compression end accepts tubing in the standard size corresponding to the 7\/16-24 straight thread specification. It is sold individually and is appropriate for repair, retrofit, and new-installation work in both residential and light commercial settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLead free brass construction meets potable water compliance requirements\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompression x MNPT end connections eliminate the need for soldering or flaring\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMaximum working pressure of 3000 psi for demanding service environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/2 inch NPT thread standard for broad compatibility with standard threaded ports\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStraight thread size of 7\/16-24 on the compression side\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact single-piece fitting sold individually with no minimum order beyond one unit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for plumbing and fluid-transfer systems requiring a compression-to-male-NPT transition at 1\/2 inch NPT thread size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off the water or fluid supply and relieve system pressure completely before making or breaking any connections. Use appropriate tube cutters and deburring tools to ensure a clean, square tube end before seating the compression nut and ferrule. Do not overtighten the compression nut; hand-tighten and then advance with a wrench only to the degree needed to achieve a leak-free seal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Lead Free Brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Connections\u003c\/strong\u003e: Compression x MNPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: NPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStraight Thread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7\/16-24\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Working Pressure\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3000 psi\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.11 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: ANDERSON METALS\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 750068-0408\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ANDERSON METALS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51702876045618,"sku":"750068-0408","price":16.74,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/ed478cb85dc840d74fa4b9e27ff56c7a_99530e7f-04eb-4b77-989a-7d3fd2472862.jpg?v=1788413660","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/anderson-metals-750068-0408-compression-tube-connector","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
