It provides a tool-free tube connection on both ends with a 1\/4 inch NPTF male thread at the center port. The fitting accepts 3\/8 inch OD tubing and is rated to 250 psi maximum working pressure. Its nitrile O-ring seals perform across a wide temperature range of -40 degrees F to 200 degrees F. Licensed plumbers, fleet maintenance technicians, and pneumatic system installers use this fitting where quick, reliable tube connections are required without compression hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis fitting is specified for D.O.T. truck and trailer pneumatic brake and air line systems. It is compatible with SAE J844 Type A and Type B tubing and meets D.O.T. FMVSS571.106, SAE J2494, and SAE J2494-3 specifications, making it a code-compliant choice for commercial vehicle air system repairs and new installations. Its brass construction resists corrosion in the moisture-laden environments typical of air brake circuits.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePush-to-connect design on both tube ports allows tool-free tube insertion and secure retention\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/4 inch NPTF male thread provides a dry-seal connection at the center port\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrass construction offers corrosion resistance suitable for air brake and pneumatic circuits\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNitrile O-ring seals rated from -40 degrees F to 200 degrees F\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeets D.O.T.

Depressurize the air system completely before removing or installing any fitting. Ensure tubing is cut square and deburred before seating into the push-to-connect port for a proper seal. Thread engagement at the NPTF port should follow standard dry-seal thread practice without sealant tape unless otherwise specified by the system manufacturer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTube Outside Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4 inches NPTF Male\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Working Pressure\u003c\/strong\u003e: 250 psi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Working Temperature\u003c\/strong\u003e: -40 degrees F\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Working Temperature\u003c\/strong\u003e: 200 degrees F\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eO-Ring Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Nitrile\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHex Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.36 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.69 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.36 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.25 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 27121700\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: 68PTC-6-4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PARKER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51541950628146,"sku":"68PTC-6-4","price":22.13,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/968859ca990b6bb7af4aaa533461026e.jpg?v=1785888337","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/parker-68ptc-6-4-push-to-connect-tube-fitting-3-8-in-od","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
