The fitting uses a compression-style connection on one end and a male NPTF thread on the other, making it suitable for creating leak-resistant joints in fluid or pneumatic lines without the need for soldering or flaring. Rated to 150 psi maximum working pressure and a temperature range of 0 to 150 degrees F, this connector suits light-duty instrumentation, refrigeration, and general-purpose fluid control applications. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and industrial pipefitters install this type of fitting during panel, control, or instrument line assemblies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis connector is used in residential and commercial systems where a compression tube must terminate or transition to an NPT threaded port. Typical installations include instrument sensing lines, control tubing runs, refrigeration gauge manifold piping, and low-pressure pneumatic circuits. The brass construction makes it appropriate for use with water, air, oil, and many common refrigerant-adjacent fluids. Its compact form factor fits in tight equipment panels and valve assemblies where space is limited.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompression x MNPT end connections for tool-free tube attachment on one end\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/4-inch tube outside diameter compatibility with 1\/8-27 NPTF male thread\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrass construction for corrosion resistance in water, air, and oil service\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e150 psi maximum working pressure rating\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOperating temperature range of 0 to 150 degrees F\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNPTF thread standard for improved pressure-tight sealing without additional sealant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 1\/4-inch OD compression tube lines terminating at 1\/8-27 NPTF male NPT threaded ports in light-duty fluid and pneumatic systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber, HVAC technician, or qualified pipefitter in accordance with applicable plumbing and mechanical codes. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before removing or installing any compression fitting. Hand-tighten the compression nut onto the fitting body, then advance with a wrench per standard compression fitting practice — do not overtighten, as brass fittings can deform. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to the NPTF threads as required by the system fluid and applicable code.\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\u003eTube Outside Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/8-27 inch\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: 150 degrees F\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Temperature\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0 degrees F\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Order Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\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: 68P-4-2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PARKER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51540201079090,"sku":"68P-4-2","price":32.87,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/6079868bc287688789a9dad52a3c5ee2.jpg?v=1785848767","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/parker-68p-4-2-compression-tube-connector-1-4-od-brass","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
