Diversitech A68CF Brass Adapter 1/4 in Od Compression X 1/2 in Mip

Product Description

The DIVERSITECH A68CF is a brass compression-to-male iron pipe thread adapter designed to transition a compression tubing connection to a threaded pipe fitting. One end accepts a 1/4 inch outside diameter compression tube, sealing against the tubing surface as the compression nut is tightened. The other end is a 1/2 inch male iron pipe thread that threads into a compatible female pipe fitting. This adapter is used in refrigeration, HVAC, and plumbing systems where copper or aluminum tubing must connect to a threaded pipe assembly. Licensed HVAC technicians and plumbers are the typical installers.

This adapter suits applications where compression tubing must terminate at a threaded fitting — common in refrigerant line service, condensate piping, gas appliance supply lines, and similar trade installations. It is suited for both residential and light commercial service work. Before installation, technicians should verify that the tubing outside diameter matches the 1/4 inch compression specification and that the receiving fitting carries a 1/2 inch female iron pipe thread to ensure a proper seal at both connections.

Key Features

• 1/4 inch OD compression inlet provides a tube-sealing connection without soldering or flaring
• 1/2 inch MIP outlet threads into standard female iron pipe fittings
• Brass construction offers corrosion resistance and durability in wet and refrigerant-exposed environments
• Compression nut design allows field assembly with basic hand tools
• Compact adapter form factor simplifies transitions in tight spaces

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service adapter for systems requiring a 1/4 inch OD compression to 1/2 inch male iron pipe thread transition in HVAC, refrigeration, or plumbing piping assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed HVAC technician or plumber. Shut off and isolate the relevant system — gas, refrigerant, or water — before making any connections. Verify tubing outside diameter and thread compatibility at both ends before tightening. Do not overtighten the compression nut, as brass fittings can deform; hand-tighten then snug with a wrench per standard trade practice and applicable IPC or IFGC guidelines.
