Parker 6FSC8N-B Compression Tube Connector 3/8 Od Fnpt Brass

Product Description

The PARKER 6FSC8N-B is a brass compression tube connector designed to join 3/8 inch outside diameter tubing to a 3/4-14 female NPT threaded port. The compression end grips and seals the tube mechanically, eliminating the need for soldering or brazing. The FNPT end threads directly into a female pipe port. Rated to 2300 psi maximum working pressure, this fitting is built for high-pressure fluid and gas line service. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians install this fitting in instrumentation, refrigeration, and process piping applications where a reliable, removable tube-to-pipe connection is required.

This connector is suited for residential and commercial installations where copper or other compatible tubing must transition to a female pipe thread port. Common applications include instrument lines, hydraulic lines, fuel lines, and compressed air or gas distribution systems. The 3/4-14 FPT thread conforms to standard NPT dimensional specifications, making it compatible with standard female pipe thread fittings and valve bodies across a wide range of system configurations.

Key Features

• Compression x FNPT end connections allow tube-to-pipe transitions without soldering
• Maximum working pressure of 2300 psi suits demanding fluid and gas service
• 3/8 inch tube outside diameter compression end with 3/4-14 NPT female thread port
• Brass construction provides corrosion resistance and durability in wet and gas service environments
• Mechanically removable connection supports future service or system modification

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style compression fitting for use with 3/8 inch outside diameter tubing systems terminating at a 3/4-14 female NPT port. Cross-reference: Swagelok part number B-600-7-8.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified plumber, pipefitter, or HVAC technician familiar with compression fittings and NPT pipe thread connections. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before disassembling or installing any fittings. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or tape to the NPT threads per the applicable plumbing or mechanical code. Do not overtighten the compression nut, as this can deform the ferrule and compromise the seal.
