Machined from brass, it provides a durable, leak-resistant transition between two different connection types and sizes. This fitting is a standard plumbing component used when reducing line size or adapting compression tubing to a threaded male fitting. Licensed plumbers and HVAC technicians install this type of adapter during new construction, system retrofits, and appliance connections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 68-6-4X fits residential and light commercial plumbing and HVAC applications where a compression-to-MNPT transition is required. Common scenarios include connecting copper or plastic supply tubing to gas valves, water supply valves, or other threaded ports that require a reduced line size. It is suited for use in tight spaces where a compact, reliable fitting is needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReduces from 3\/8-inch compression to 1\/4-inch MNPT in a single fitting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBrass construction provides corrosion resistance and long service life\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompression inlet eliminates the need for soldering on the tubing side\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMale NPT thread conforms to standard tapered thread specifications for a secure seal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact form factor suits confined installation spaces\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 residential and light commercial plumbing and HVAC systems requiring a 3\/8-inch compression to 1\/4-inch MNPT reducing adapter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by a licensed plumber or HVAC technician. Shut off the water or gas supply and relieve system pressure before disassembling any fittings. Apply thread sealant tape or compound to the male NPT threads before assembly; do not apply sealant to the compression side. Hand-tighten the compression nut first, then snug with a wrench — do not overtighten, as brass threads can be damaged by excessive force.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInlet Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inches (Compression)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutlet Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4 inches (MNPT)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Compression x Male NPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 68 Series\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: BRASSCRAFT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 68-6-4X\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"BRASSCRAFT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51525483757874,"sku":"683814X","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/208ae7b195bb00e0f039e44e4bf2153e.jpg?v=1785475208","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/brasscraft-68-6-4x-reducing-adapter-3-8x1-4-compression-mnpt","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
