The fitting uses an 11\/16-20 compression thread on one end and a 1\/4-18 NPT thread on the other, making it suitable for connecting copper, aluminum, or plastic tubing to threaded ports on valves, gauges, or equipment. The lead-free brass construction meets regulatory requirements for potable water applications. Plumbers and HVAC technicians install this adapter in both residential and light commercial service work where a size reduction and connection-type change are needed in the same fitting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis adapter is used in compression-to-threaded fitting applications across water supply, refrigeration, and pneumatic lines. It accepts copper, aluminum, or plastic tubing on the compression end, offering flexibility across common tubing materials found in residential plumbing and HVAC systems. The temperature rating of -40 to 250 degrees F covers standard operating ranges for most plumbing, hydronic, and low-pressure refrigeration installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/2-inch compression inlet transitions to 1\/4-inch MNPTF outlet in a single fitting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLead-free brass construction  -  compliant for potable water use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with copper, aluminum, and plastic tubing on the compression end\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTemperature rated from -40 to 250 degrees F for broad application coverage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e11\/16-20 x 1\/4-18 thread specification for precise fitment to mating ports\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact profile: 1.45 inches tall, 0.65 inches in length, 0.75 inches in width\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with copper, aluminum, or plastic tubing on the compression side; the MNPTF threaded end mates with standard 1\/4-18 NPT female ports on valves, gauges, and inline equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified HVAC technicians. Shut off the water or system supply and relieve line pressure before installing or removing any compression fitting. Hand-tighten the compression nut first, then advance with a wrench  -  do not overtighten, as brass compression fittings can crack or deform if over-torqued. Apply thread sealant or tape to the MNPTF threads in accordance with applicable plumbing codes such as the IPC or IFGC.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Size 1\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type 1\u003c\/strong\u003e: Compression\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Size 2\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type 2\u003c\/strong\u003e: MNPTF\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Specification\u003c\/strong\u003e: 11\/16-20 x 1\/4-18\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Lead-Free Brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTemperature Range\u003c\/strong\u003e: -40 to 250 degrees F\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.45 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.65 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.75 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.06 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\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: 700068-0804\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MIDLAND INDUSTRIES","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67950354104626,"sku":"700068-0804","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/652e2c81410ceb2a0d1fef88b8abc8c8_52a314ac-3254-42e5-98bd-857705302e67.jpg?v=1791714742","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/midland-industries-700068-0804-compression-male-adapter","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
