Parker 62C-10-6 Compression Tube Reducer 9/16-24

Product Description

The PARKER 62C-10-6 is a brass compression tube reducer designed to connect two compression-end tubing lines of differing sizes within a fluid or pneumatic system. Featuring a 9/16-24 thread size and a compression-by-compression end connection configuration, this fitting allows a secure, leak-resistant joint without soldering or welding. Rated for a maximum working pressure of 150 psi and a temperature range of -65 to 250 degrees F, the 62C-10-6 is suited for refrigeration, hydraulic, fuel, and instrumentation tubing circuits where a dependable mechanical connection is required. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and fluid-system mechanics are the typical installers of this fitting type.

This reducer fitting is used in residential and light commercial applications wherever two compression-end tube lines of different diameters must be joined inline. Common install scenarios include refrigerant line modifications, fuel supply plumbing, and instrument tubing assemblies. The compression-by-compression design allows field installation without specialty tools beyond a tubing cutter and a wrench, making it practical for both shop fabrication and on-site service work. Manufactured to SAE J-512 standards, the 62C-10-6 meets established dimensional and performance criteria for compression fittings used across the HVAC, plumbing, and mobile hydraulic trades.

Key Features

• Brass construction provides corrosion resistance and reliable sealing across a wide range of fluid media
• Compression x compression end connections eliminate the need for soldering or brazing at the joint
• 9/16-24 thread size conforms to SAE J-512 dimensional standards
• Maximum working pressure of 150 psi suitable for low-to-medium pressure tubing systems
• Operating temperature range of -65 to 250 degrees F covers typical HVAC and refrigeration service conditions

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service fitting for compression-end tubing systems requiring an inline reducer connection in refrigeration, fuel, or instrumentation plumbing circuits.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber, HVAC technician, or qualified fluid-systems mechanic. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before disconnecting any existing fittings or tubing. Ensure tubing ends are cut cleanly and deburred before seating into the compression fitting to achieve a proper seal. Torque the compression nuts to the tubing manufacturer and fitting manufacturer recommendations; do not overtighten, as brass compression fittings can crack under excessive force.
