It joins a compression-side tube to a male NPT threaded port in a single fitting body. The 3\/8 inch NPT thread mates to standard pipe threads, while the compression end grips tubing mechanically without soldering or flaring. Rated to 2000 psi maximum working pressure, this connector is suited for high-integrity fluid and gas line connections in plumbing, HVAC, and light industrial piping systems. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers, though HVAC technicians encounter this fitting regularly on refrigerant accessory lines and equipment supply connections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis connector is appropriate for residential and light commercial installations where a compression-to-male NPT transition is required. Typical applications include connecting copper or compatible tubing to threaded ports on valves, manifolds, equipment inlets, and supply lines. The lead free brass construction meets requirements for potable water service in jurisdictions enforcing low-lead content standards. The straight thread size of 11\/16-20 on the compression side ensures a secure mechanical grip on the tubing without additional sealing compounds on that end.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLead free brass construction meets low-lead requirements for potable water applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2000 psi maximum working pressure rating for high-integrity service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/8 inch NPT male thread for connection to standard threaded pipe ports\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompression x MNPT end configuration eliminates the need for soldering or flaring\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStraight thread size 11\/16-20 for secure mechanical tubing grip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or service fitting for residential and light commercial plumbing and HVAC systems requiring a compression to male NPT straight connector in 3\/8 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 HVAC technician in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off the water or fluid supply and relieve system pressure fully before disassembling any existing fitting. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to the NPT male threads only — do not apply sealant to the compression end. Hand-tighten the compression nut first, then bring to a snug fit with a wrench, taking care not to overtighten and distort the ferrule.\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\u003eFitting Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Connector\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: 3\/8 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: 11\/16-20\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Working Pressure\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2000 psi\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.12 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: 750068-0806\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ANDERSON METALS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51704702697778,"sku":"750068-0806","price":15.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/ed478cb85dc840d74fa4b9e27ff56c7a_afe15cb2-5137-44ca-b23f-21f206d80f26.jpg?v=1788424479","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/anderson-metals-750068-0806-compression-connector-3-8","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
