It uses a compression fitting on one end and a 1\/2-14 MNPT threaded connection on the other, making it a reliable choice for creating leak-resistant tube-to-pipe transitions in fluid and gas systems. Rated to 150 psi maximum working pressure with a temperature range of -65 degrees F to 250 degrees F, this connector meets SAE J-512 standards. Licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and pipefitters install this fitting in low-pressure hydraulic, pneumatic, and refrigeration-adjacent tubing applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis connector is suited for residential and light commercial installations where compression-style tube fittings are required to transition into NPT-threaded ports. Typical applications include instrument tubing, fuel lines, air lines, and fluid-handling circuits where a permanent, vibration-resistant connection is needed. The NPTF thread standard provides a pressure-tight seal at the threaded end without relying solely on thread sealant. It is sold individually and is appropriate for new installations and repair work alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompression x MNPT end connections for tube-to-pipe transitions\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBrass construction for corrosion resistance and durability\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5\/8-inch tube outside diameter compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/2-14 NPTF thread size for a pressure-tight threaded seal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRated to 150 psi maximum working pressure\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMeets SAE J-512 standard for compression tube fittings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style compression fitting for 5\/8-inch OD tubing systems requiring a 1\/2-14 MNPT threaded port connection in low-pressure fluid or gas applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber, pipefitter, or qualified HVAC technician. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before removing or installing any fitting. Compression fittings require the ferrule to be seated correctly against the tubing; do not overtighten, as this can crack the ferrule or deform the tube. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to the NPTF male threads as appropriate for the fluid service and verify the connection is leak-free before returning the system to service.\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\u003eTube Outside Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2-14\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\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.9 inches\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-10-8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PARKER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51542088712498,"sku":"68C-10-8","price":21.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/2c14356397abcb97a404052228b0b33c.jpg?v=1785891736","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/parker-68c-10-8-compression-tube-connector-5-8-in-od-brass","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
