It uses a compression-style end on one side and a male NPTF thread on the other, creating a secure, leak-resistant connection in hydraulic, pneumatic, and fluid-handling lines. The fitting is rated for a maximum working pressure of 150 psi and handles temperatures from -65 degrees F to 250 degrees F. Constructed from brass, it resists corrosion and is well suited for plumbing, HVAC, refrigeration, and general industrial applications. Licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and pipefitters are the typical installers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis connector is used in residential and light commercial systems where tubing must transition to a male NPT threaded fitting. Common install scenarios include connecting copper or compatible soft tubing to valves, gauges, or equipment ports threaded to NPTF standards. The 3\/8-18 thread size is a widely used designation in fluid and gas line work. The fitting meets SAE J-512 standards, making it appropriate for applications where that certification is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompression x MNPT end connections for tubing-to-threaded-port transitions\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBrass construction for corrosion resistance and durability\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e150 psi maximum working pressure rating\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWide temperature range: -65 degrees F to 250 degrees F\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMeets SAE J-512 standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/8-18 NPTF thread size for broad fitment in fluid and gas systems\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 using 3\/8-18 NPTF male threaded ports with compression tube connections conforming to SAE J-512.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified HVAC technician following applicable IPC or IFGC guidelines. Shut off and depressurize the system fully before removing or installing any fittings. Use an appropriate thread sealant compatible with brass NPTF fittings and the system fluid. Do not overtighten the compression nut, as this can deform the ferrule and compromise the seal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Connector\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Connections\u003c\/strong\u003e: Compression x MNPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8-18 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: NPTF\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Working Pressure\u003c\/strong\u003e: 150 psi\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Temperature\u003c\/strong\u003e: 250 degrees F\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Temperature\u003c\/strong\u003e: -65 degrees F\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: SAE J-512\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: PARKER\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 68C-10-6\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PARKER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51544587501874,"sku":"68C-10-6","price":19.36,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/5885d22083d4a0e72f5765708892f0b3.jpg?v=1785930758","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/parker-68c-10-6-compression-tube-connector-brass-3-8-18","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
