Constructed from brass, this fitting provides reliable sealing in low-pressure fluid and gas line applications. The captive sleeve design retains the compression sleeve on the fitting body, reducing the chance of lost components during installation. At 0.05 pounds, it is a compact, lightweight fitting suited for tight spaces in residential and light commercial plumbing and instrumentation systems. Licensed plumbers and HVAC technicians commonly use this type of adapter when connecting copper or soft tubing runs to threaded ports on valves, gauges, or equipment panels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis adapter is used wherever a compression tube line must terminate at a male NPTF threaded port. Common applications include instrument lines, control tubing, refrigeration sensing lines, and gas appliance connections where a 3\/8-inch tube meets a 1\/8-inch male NPTF port. The NPTF thread form provides a dry-seal mechanical connection that reduces reliance on thread sealant, making it appropriate for cleaner or more demanding service environments. This fitting is well suited to residential and light commercial installations handled by plumbing and HVAC tradespeople.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCaptive sleeve design keeps the compression sleeve retained on the fitting body for easier handling during install\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/8-inch compression inlet accepts standard copper or soft tubing without soldering\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/8-inch male NPTF outlet provides a dry-seal threaded connection to female NPTF ports\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBrass construction offers corrosion resistance and compatibility with a wide range of fluids and gases\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact dimensions support use in confined spaces typical of equipment panels and control assemblies\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 systems requiring a 3\/8-inch compression to 1\/8-inch male NPTF transition in brass compression fitting assemblies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified HVAC technicians following applicable IPC and IFGC guidelines. Shut off and depressurize the line before disassembly or fitting installation. Tighten the compression nut by hand first, then use a wrench to snug the connection  -  avoid overtightening brass compression fittings, as this can deform the sleeve or crack the fitting body. NPTF threads are designed for dry-seal assembly, but consult the applicable code or equipment manufacturer instructions regarding the use of thread sealant for the specific service fluid.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Size 1\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inches (Compression)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Size 2\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/8 inches (Male NPTF)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.6 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.05 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: MIDLAND INDUSTRIES\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 26187\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MIDLAND INDUSTRIES","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67951930999090,"sku":"26187","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/ff0a52db1ff0ce83120023a545015526_ca86b1cd-e91c-470f-bf39-8a8a146067b4.jpg?v=1791741180","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/midland-industries-26187-compression-male-adapter-brass","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
