It features a compression-style tube end on one side and a male NPTF threaded end on the other, providing a reliable, leak-resistant connection without soldering or flaring. The connector is rated for a maximum working pressure of 400 psi and handles temperatures from -65 degrees F to 250 degrees F, making it suitable for a broad range of industrial and mechanical service environments. Plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians install this fitting where tubing must terminate at an NPT-ported valve, manifold, or equipment stub-out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis connector is well suited for use in hydraulic lines, pneumatic systems, fuel lines, and general fluid conveyance applications in both commercial and industrial settings. The NPTF thread standard ensures a pressure-tight mechanical seal at the threaded connection. With an inside diameter of 0.658 inches and a 1\/2-14 thread size, it accommodates common tubing sizes used across plumbing, refrigeration, and light industrial piping installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBrass construction provides corrosion resistance and compatibility with a wide range of media\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompression x MNPT end connections eliminate the need for soldering or flaring\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRated to 400 psi maximum working pressure for reliable performance in pressurized systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWide operating temperature range of -65 degrees F to 250 degrees F\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNPTF thread standard delivers a pressure-tight threaded seal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eInside diameter of 0.658 inches suits standard tubing used in fluid and pneumatic lines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or service fitting for compression-to-MNPT connections in residential and commercial plumbing, HVAC, and light industrial fluid systems using 1\/2-14 NPTF threaded ports.\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. Depressurize and isolate the line completely before removing the existing fitting or installing this connector. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the NPTF male threads per the applicable IPC or IFGC guidelines for the service medium. Do not overtighten the compression nut, as excess force can deform the ferrule and compromise the seal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Connector\u003c\/li\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\/2-14\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: NPTF\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Working Pressure\u003c\/strong\u003e: 400 psi\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInside Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.658 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Temperature\u003c\/strong\u003e: 250 degrees F\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Temperature\u003c\/strong\u003e: -65 degrees F\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.34 pounds\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: VS68AB-12-8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PARKER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51540133937458,"sku":"VS68AB-12-8","price":34.14,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/fd4f58460bd6df40b535802626026f97_24f77173-134a-41c1-98e9-57815f3cfc3c.jpg?v=1785846656","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/parker-vs68ab-12-8-compression-tube-connector-brass","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
