Parker 6FSC6N-B Compression Tube Connector 1/2-14 Npt Brass

Product Description

The PARKER 6FSC6N-B is a brass compression tube connector designed to join a compression tube end to a female NPT (FNPT) threaded port in a single inline fitting. Rated to 2300 psi maximum working pressure, this connector is built for demanding fluid and gas service in HVAC, refrigeration, pneumatic, and plumbing systems. The 1/2-14 NPT thread size is a common trade standard, making this fitting a frequent choice when transitioning from compression tubing to threaded piping assemblies. At 0.14 pounds, it is a compact, lightweight component suited for tight installations.

This connector sees regular use in residential and light commercial mechanical systems wherever a compression tube line must terminate at a female NPT port on a valve, manifold, or equipment connection. Typical applications include refrigerant line sets, compressed air distribution, hydraulic instrument lines, and process fluid piping. Licensed HVAC technicians, plumbers, and pipefitters commonly install this fitting during equipment hookup and system fabrication work.

Key Features

• Brass construction provides corrosion resistance and reliable sealing across a wide range of fluids and gases
• 2300 psi maximum working pressure suits high-pressure pneumatic and hydraulic service
• 1/2-14 NPT thread standard ensures compatibility with common threaded port sizes in trade applications
• Compression x FNPT end connections allow direct tube-to-threaded-port transition without additional adapters
• Compact, lightweight design at 0.14 pounds supports use in space-constrained installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style compression tube connector for use in systems requiring a 1/2-14 NPT compression-to-female-NPT transition fitting. Cross-references to Swagelok part number B-600-7-6.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber, HVAC technician, or pipefitter in accordance with applicable codes including the IPC and IFGC. Always depressurize and isolate the line before disassembly or connection work. Apply thread sealant rated for the service fluid to the NPT threads; do not apply sealant to the compression end. Verify compression sleeve seating and tube insertion depth before tightening the compression nut to prevent leaks.
