Parker 6MSC8N-B Compression Tube Connector 1/2 Inch

Product Description

The PARKER 6MSC8N-B is a brass compression tube connector designed to create a secure, leak-free connection between compression tubing and a male NPT threaded port. It accepts a compression fitting on one end and a 1/2 inch MNPT thread on the other, making it a straightforward transition fitting used in instrumentation, refrigeration, and fluid-handling systems. Built to ASME-SB75 and ASTM-B75 brass standards, it carries a maximum working pressure of 2300 psi. The overall length is 1.82 inches. Plumbers, HVAC techs, and instrumentation mechanics install this fitting wherever a compression tube run must terminate into a threaded port on a valve, manifold, or equipment fitting.

This connector suits residential and light commercial applications where copper or compatible tubing meets a threaded male NPT connection point. Common install scenarios include refrigeration line sets, pneumatic control lines, water supply connections, and instrument tubing runs. The brass body handles a broad range of compatible media including water, air, and many hydraulic fluids. It is sold individually and is appropriate wherever a single compression-to-MNPT transition is required.

Key Features

• Brass construction meeting ASME-SB75 and ASTM-B75 standards
• Maximum working pressure rated at 2300 psi
• 1/2 inch thread size with MPT thread standard
• Compact overall length of 1.82 inches reduces inline space requirements
• Cross-references to Swagelok part number B-600-1-8

Compatibility

Cross-references to Swagelok part number B-600-1-8. Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct substitute for compression-to-MNPT brass connectors in 1/2 inch thread applications across plumbing, HVAC, and instrumentation systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber, HVAC technician, or instrumentation mechanic depending on the application. Shut off all system pressure and depressurize the line before disassembly or installation. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to the MNPT threads in accordance with applicable IPC or IFGC guidelines. Do not overtighten the compression nut; follow standard compression fitting assembly practice and confirm there are no leaks before returning the system to service.
