Cerrobrass VS68NAB-6C Compression Tube Connector 3/8

Product Description

The CERROBRASS VS68NAB-6C is a brass compression tube connector designed for use in air brake and pneumatic tubing systems. It creates a secure, leak-resistant connection between nylon air brake tubing and a male threaded port, using compression-style end fittings that do not require soldering or flaring. The connector is rated for a maximum working pressure of 150 psi and handles temperatures from -40 degrees F to 200 degrees F, making it well-suited for demanding mobile and stationary air brake service environments. Plumbers, fleet maintenance technicians, and pneumatic system installers working to SAE standards will find this fitting a direct-fit solution for standard 3/8-inch OD tube applications.

This fitting is intended for use with nylon air brake tubing in light- and heavy-duty pneumatic systems. The tube OD x male thread end configuration connects a 3/8-inch outside diameter tube on one end to a 3/8 NPT male thread on the other, with a thread size of 17/32-24 at the compression end. It is commonly installed in truck, trailer, and industrial air brake line assemblies where a reliable compression seal and SAE-compliant fitting are required.

Key Features

• Brass construction for corrosion resistance and durability in air brake service
• Compression-style connection eliminates the need for soldering or flaring
• Rated to 150 psi maximum working pressure
• Wide temperature range: -40 degrees F to 200 degrees F
• SAE-standard compliant for use in regulated air brake systems
• Tube OD x Male Thread end configuration for straightforward line-to-port connections

Compatibility

Designed for use with 3/8-inch OD nylon air brake tubing and 3/8 NPT threaded ports in SAE-compliant pneumatic and air brake systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with air brake system regulations and SAE fitting standards. Depressurize the air brake system fully before disconnecting or installing any fittings. Hand-tighten the compression nut onto the tubing, then use an appropriate wrench to seat the fitting without over-tightening, which can crack the tube or fitting. Inspect all connections for leaks after pressurizing the system.
