Parker 10MSC6N-B Compression Tube Connector 3/8 in Brass

Product Description

The PARKER 10MSC6N-B is a brass compression tube connector designed to join compression tubing to a male NPT threaded port in fluid and gas distribution systems. With a 3/8 inch thread size and a maximum working pressure of 2000 psi, this connector suits demanding service lines where a reliable, leak-free mechanical connection is required. Constructed from brass conforming to ASME-SB75 and ASTM-B75 standards, it provides corrosion resistance suitable for a wide range of media. The overall length measures 1.74 inches. Plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians install this type of fitting when transitioning from compression tubing to NPT-threaded equipment or piping.

This connector is used in residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC refrigerant and water line applications, and instrumentation tubing systems where compression-to-male-pipe-thread transitions are required. The Compression x MNPT end configuration allows a compression-sleeved tube on one end and direct threading into a female NPT port on the other, simplifying connections to valves, manifolds, and equipment ports. It is sold as a single unit and is a catalog-standard stocking item.

Key Features

• Brass construction per ASME-SB75 and ASTM-B75 for corrosion resistance and material integrity
• 3/8 inch thread size with MPT thread standard for compatibility with standard female NPT ports
• Maximum working pressure of 2000 psi for use in higher-pressure service lines
• Compression x MNPT end connections for tool-assisted, leak-resistant tube termination
• Compact overall length of 1.74 inches for use in tight installation spaces
• Swagelok reference part number B-1010-1-6 for cross-reference sourcing

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style compression tube connector for plumbing, HVAC, and instrumentation applications requiring a 3/8 inch Compression x MNPT brass fitting rated to 2000 psi.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber, pipefitter, or HVAC technician. Before installing, shut off and depressurize the system and verify that the mating female NPT port is clean and undamaged. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male NPT threads per local code and manufacturer practice. Do not overtighten the compression nut; use proper tube preparation and a backup wrench on the fitting body to avoid distorting the fitting or tubing.
