Parker 68TF-2-2 Male Threaded Tube to Pipe Fitting

Product Description

The PARKER 68TF-2-2 is a male threaded tube-to-pipe transition fitting designed for low-pressure (LP) gas welding hose applications. Machined from brass, this fitting connects 1/8-inch tubing to a 1/8-inch pipe thread, providing a secure, leak-resistant transition between tube and pipe runs. At 0.96 inches in overall length, it is a compact, single-piece component suited for tight plumbing configurations. Plumbers, gas fitters, and welding equipment technicians install this type of fitting when routing LP gas supply lines or welding hose assemblies that require a tube-to-pipe thread interface.

This fitting is intended for low-pressure gas service, including welding and cutting equipment hose connections. It is well-suited for residential and light commercial applications where a reliable tube-to-pipe brass transition is required. The threaded male connection allows direct engagement with standard female pipe thread ports on regulators, manifolds, or distribution blocks commonly found in welding and LP gas systems.

Key Features

• Male threaded connection type for direct pipe thread engagement
• Tube-to-pipe transition design for mixed-run plumbing configurations
• Brass construction for corrosion resistance in LP gas service
• Compact 0.96-inch overall length fits tight installation spaces
• 1/8-inch by 1/8-inch port sizes for consistent flow path

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service fitting for low-pressure brass welding hose and LP gas line assemblies requiring a 1/8-inch male threaded tube-to-pipe connection.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified gas fitter in accordance with applicable local codes and IFGC requirements. Shut off the LP gas supply and bleed system pressure before removing or installing any fittings. Apply an approved thread sealant rated for gas service to all threaded connections. Pressure-test all connections after installation before returning the system to service.
