Brass 68-14-12 Compression X Mip Connector 7/8 X 3/4

Product Description

The BRASS 68-14-12 is a compression x MIP connector used to join a 7/8-inch compression line to a 3/4-inch male iron pipe (MIP) thread. It provides a reliable mechanical connection between tubing and threaded pipe fittings in plumbing and HVAC applications. The compression end grips the tubing with a ferrule-and-nut assembly, while the MIP end threads into a female-threaded fitting or valve body. Plumbers and HVAC technicians install this type of transition fitting when connecting copper or soft tubing runs to threaded components such as valves, manifolds, or appliance connections.

This connector is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing and HVAC systems where a transition from compression tubing to male iron pipe thread is required. Typical applications include supply line connections, gas appliance hookups where approved materials are used, and water supply transitions at valves or fixture stops. It is sold as a single unit.

Key Features

• 7/8-inch compression inlet accommodates standard tubing of that outer diameter
• 3/4-inch MIP outlet threads into any standard female iron pipe fitting
• Brass construction provides corrosion resistance and durability in wet or humid environments
• Compression fitting design allows installation without soldering or open flame

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard transition fitting for plumbing and HVAC systems requiring a 7/8-inch compression to 3/4-inch male iron pipe connection.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified HVAC technician in accordance with applicable local codes and the IPC or IFGC as relevant. Shut off the water or gas supply and relieve system pressure before beginning work. Do not overtighten the compression nut, as over-compression can deform the ferrule and cause leaks. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to the MIP threads as required by local code and application type.
