Built from brass, this fitting features a compression inlet and a male NPTF threaded outlet with a 1\/4-18 thread size. It is rated for a maximum working pressure of 200 psi and a temperature range of -65 degrees F to 250 degrees F. HVAC technicians, plumbers, and industrial mechanics install this fitting where a reliable compression-to-pipe connection is required in copper or compatible soft-metal tubing lines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis connector suits residential and light commercial applications including refrigeration lines, hydraulic circuits, and plumbing assemblies that require a leak-resistant compression fitting transitioning to a male NPT port. The NPTF thread standard ensures a pressure-tight mechanical seal without relying solely on thread sealant. Installations typically involve copper tubing routed to valves, gauges, or manifold ports threaded to the NPT standard. It is sold individually and packaged as a single unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompression x MNPT end connections for tubing-to-pipe transitions\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBrass construction for corrosion resistance in fluid and gas service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/4-18 NPTF thread ensures a pressure-tight mechanical seal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRated to 200 psi maximum working pressure\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWide temperature range: -65 degrees F to 250 degrees F\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 tube connector compatible with systems using SAE J-512 compression fittings and standard 1\/4-18 NPTF male pipe thread ports.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis fitting is installed by licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, or qualified mechanics working on fluid or gas lines. Depressurize and isolate the system completely before removing or installing any fittings. Hand-tighten the compression nut onto the tubing, then tighten with a wrench per standard trade practice for brass compression fittings. Inspect the compression ferrule seating and verify no leaks under system pressure after installation.\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 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: 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\u003eStandard\u003c\/strong\u003e: SAE J-512\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\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-8-4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PARKER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51542862692658,"sku":"68C-8-4","price":17.51,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/d54490457a46c09198e7abd90eee10cc.jpg?v=1785909294","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/parker-68c-8-4-compression-tube-connector-1-4-18-brass","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
