It provides a reliable, leak-resistant mechanical connection without soldering or brazing. The fitting uses a compression end on one side and a MNPT end on the other, making it suitable for instrumentation, fluid transfer, and light pneumatic lines. At 0.875 inches overall length and 0.1757 pounds, it is a compact, single-piece fitting intended for installation by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, or HVAC technicians working on tubing runs in both residential and commercial settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis fitting is used where a tube-to-threaded-port transition is required in plumbing, HVAC, refrigeration, or industrial fluid systems. The compression end accepts 1\/2-inch OD tubing directly, while the MNPT end threads into a standard female NPT port. It is rated for a temperature range of -30 degrees F to 275 degrees F (approximately -34 degrees C to 135 degrees C), covering most standard service conditions in mechanical and process piping applications. Quantity sold is one fitting per package.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBrass construction for corrosion resistance and compatibility with common fluids and gases\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompression x MNPT end connections for tool-assisted, no-solder tube-to-port transitions\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/2-inch thread size and 1\/2-inch tube OD on a single compact body at 0.875 inches overall length\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMeets ISO 6149 and SAE J1926 standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTemperature rated from -30 degrees F to 275 degrees F for broad service range\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement compression connector for systems using 1\/2-inch OD tubing with 1\/2-inch MNPT threaded ports, conforming to ISO 6149 and SAE J1926 specifications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber, pipefitter, or qualified HVAC technician. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before removing or installing any compression fitting. Use an appropriately sized wrench to tighten the compression nut to the manufacturer-recommended procedure; do not overtighten, as brass fittings are susceptible to thread or ferrule damage. Follow applicable codes including IPC and IFGC where relevant to the system type.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\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\/2 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: MNPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTube Outside Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.875 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Temperature\u003c\/strong\u003e: -30 degrees F (-34 degrees C)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Temperature\u003c\/strong\u003e: 275 degrees F (135 degrees C)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: ISO 6149, SAE J1926\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1757 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\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: 68VL-8-8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PARKER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51539023462706,"sku":"68VL-8-8","price":47.04,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/5a8934ba4f8af4a4cb5e6b69c18aba47.jpg?v=1785833131","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/parker-68vl-8-8-compression-tube-connector-1-2-in-brass","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
