Parker 10FSC8N-B Compression Tube Connector 5/8 Od Brass

Product Description

The PARKER 10FSC8N-B is a brass compression tube connector designed to join tubing to female NPT threaded ports in fluid and gas distribution systems. It features a 5/8 inch tube outside diameter compression end paired with a 3/8-18 FNPT threaded end, providing a reliable mechanical seal without soldering or welding. Rated to 2000 psi maximum working pressure, this connector is suited for high-pressure instrumentation, pneumatic, and hydraulic lines. Plumbers, pipefitters, and instrumentation technicians install this fitting where a compression-to-female-pipe transition is required. The all-brass construction resists corrosion and is compatible with a wide range of fluids.

This fitting is used in residential and commercial plumbing, HVAC refrigerant lines, compressed air systems, and industrial instrumentation tubing runs. The compression end grips the tube OD mechanically, making it practical in tight spaces or where torch work is not permitted. The FNPT end threads directly into standard female pipe-threaded ports on valves, manifolds, gauges, and equipment panels. It is packaged and sold individually.

Key Features

• 5/8 inch tube OD compression end for secure, leak-resistant mechanical grip
• 3/8-18 FNPT threaded end connects directly to standard female pipe ports
• 2000 psi maximum working pressure rating for high-pressure service
• Brass construction provides corrosion resistance across a broad range of media
• No soldering or brazing required for installation

Compatibility

Designed as a standard compression-to-FNPT connector for use with 5/8 inch OD tubing and 3/8-18 female NPT threaded ports in plumbing, pneumatic, hydraulic, and instrumentation applications. Cross-references Swagelok part number B-1010-7-8.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber, pipefitter, or instrumentation technician. Depressurize and isolate the system completely before disconnecting or installing any compression fitting. Hand-tighten the compression nut onto the fitting body, then advance with a wrench per standard compression fitting practice — do not overtighten, as this can deform the ferrule and compromise the seal. Verify system pressure does not exceed the 2000 psi rated maximum after returning the line to service.
