It features a compression inlet on one end and a 1\/4-inch male NPT (MNPT) threaded outlet on the other, making it a reliable choice for converting or transitioning between compression and threaded connections. Rated to 1800 psi maximum working pressure, this fitting is well suited for hydraulic, pneumatic, refrigeration, and fluid-transfer lines where a leak-free mechanical connection is required. Licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and fluid-systems mechanics typically install this type of fitting in both residential and light commercial applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis connector is commonly used in HVAC refrigerant lines, compressed air systems, hydraulic circuits, and general plumbing where a compression-to-threaded transition is needed. Its brass construction provides corrosion resistance and durability in wet or moisture-prone environments. The MNPT end threads directly into a female NPT port on valves, manifolds, gauges, or equipment housings, while the compression end secures tubing without soldering or special tools beyond standard wrenches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrass construction for corrosion resistance and long service life in fluid and gas systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompression x MNPT end connections for tool-free tube termination on one end and threaded engagement on the other\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/4-inch male NPT thread for direct connection to standard female NPT ports\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1800 psi maximum working pressure rating suitable for high-pressure fluid and pneumatic lines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact single-piece connector with no additional adapters required for compression-to-threaded transitions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or upgrade fitting for systems requiring a compression-to-male-NPT connection at 1\/4-inch thread size, including HVAC, plumbing, hydraulic, and pneumatic assemblies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by qualified plumbers, HVAC technicians, or hydraulic system mechanics. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before removing any existing fittings or installing this connector. Hand-tighten the MNPT end into the receiving port, then use a wrench for final tightening — do not over-torque brass threads. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male NPT threads per applicable IPC or system-manufacturer guidelines, and inspect for leaks after restoring system pressure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\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 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: MPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Working Pressure\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1800 psi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.07 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\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: 68HD-5-4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PARKER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51540490453298,"sku":"68HD-5-4","price":18.07,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/c29468d9c5b66f7f3eeb17a764d9186c.jpg?v=1785856359","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/parker-68hd-5-4-brass-compression-connector-1-4-inch","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
