Rated to 650 psi maximum working pressure, it handles temperatures from -65 degrees F to 250 degrees F, making it suitable for a wide range of service fluids and gases. The fitting features a compression end on one side and a 1\/2-14 NPTF male threaded end on the other, providing a leak-resistant mechanical connection without soldering or brazing. Brass construction offers corrosion resistance and compatibility with water, air, oil, and many hydraulic fluids commonly encountered in HVAC, plumbing, and industrial piping work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis connector is used in residential and light commercial applications where copper or compatible tubing must transition to a threaded port on a valve, manifold, pump, or equipment fitting. Typical install scenarios include refrigeration line connections, pneumatic control tubing, hydraulic lines, and general plumbing utility runs. It is installed by licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and pipefitters working on systems that require a reliable, reusable tube-to-pipe thread transition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBrass body provides corrosion resistance and durability across a broad range of fluids\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompression x MNPT end connections eliminate the need for soldering or brazing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/2-14 NPTF thread standard ensures a pressure-tight seal at the threaded port\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e650 psi maximum working pressure rated for demanding service conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWide temperature range: -65 degrees F to 250 degrees F\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReusable fitting design allows for field disassembly and reassembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or direct-install brass compression connector for systems requiring a 1\/2-14 NPTF male threaded port transition from compression tubing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by a licensed plumber or HVAC technician. Shut off and depressurize the system before removing or installing any compression fitting. Ensure tubing is cut square and deburred before seating it into the compression end to achieve a proper seal. Follow applicable plumbing codes, including IPC guidelines, for pressure testing 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\/2-14 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: 650 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\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: 68CA-10-8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PARKER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51543476371762,"sku":"68CA-10-8","price":30.62,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/258d2ccc1efee9bc40c9e6c20d95055c.jpg?v=1785919233","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/parker-68ca-10-8-brass-compression-connector-1-2-14","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
