Built to SAE J-512 standards, this connector features a 1\/4-18 NPTF thread and handles working pressures up to 200 psi. The brass construction provides reliable corrosion resistance across a wide service temperature range, making it well suited for hydraulic, pneumatic, fuel, and refrigerant-adjacent plumbing lines. Licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and fluid power mechanics install this fitting wherever a direct compression-to-male-pipe connection is needed in tight or inline routing scenarios.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis fitting is used in residential and light commercial applications involving copper or compatible tubing routed to threaded ports on valves, manifolds, or equipment housings. Its compression-by-MNPT configuration makes it a common choice for instrument lines, fuel delivery systems, hydraulic circuits, and HVAC refrigerant sensing lines where a removable, pressure-rated mechanical joint is required without soldering or brazing. The NPTF thread form creates a pressure-tight seal at the threads, reducing reliance on tape or sealant compounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBrass construction for corrosion resistance and long service life in wet or humid environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/4-18 NPTF male pipe thread provides a pressure-tight mechanical seal at the threaded port\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompression end accepts tubing for a tool-assisted, leak-tight connection without soldering\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRated to 200 psi working pressure for use in moderate-pressure hydraulic and pneumatic circuits\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWide temperature range from -65 degrees F to 250 degrees F suits refrigeration and steam-adjacent service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eConforms to SAE J-512 for dimensional and performance standardization\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 requiring a compression-to-male-NPT connection in brass at a 1\/4-18 thread size, conforming to SAE J-512 dimensional standards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis fitting is typically installed by licensed plumbers or HVAC technicians following applicable IPC or system-specific fluid handling codes. Shut off and depressurize the line completely before disconnecting or installing any compression fitting. Hand-tighten the compression nut first, then apply the manufacturer-recommended number of additional turns with a wrench, holding the fitting body steady to avoid twisting the tubing. Do not overtighten the compression nut, as this can deform the ferrule and cause leaks or tubing damage.\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: 1\/4-18\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: 200 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-7-4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PARKER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51543008313650,"sku":"68C-7-4","price":16.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/cfb5bdf5d135f6d3fb7c65cd9033cc25.jpg?v=1785913592","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/parker-68c-7-4-compression-tube-connector-brass-mnpt","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
