Parker VS68AB-6-2 Compression Tube Connector Brass

Product Description

The PARKER VS68AB-6-2 is a brass compression tube connector designed to join a compression fitting end to a male NPT port in fluid and pneumatic line assemblies. It carries a 1/8-27 NPTF thread and is rated for working pressures up to 400 psi with a temperature range of -65 degrees F to 250 degrees F. The inside diameter measures 0.189 inches. Built to meet D.O.T. FMVSS571.106 and SAE J246 standards, this connector is a reliable choice for licensed tradespeople and OEM assembly technicians working with brake, fuel, or hydraulic tubing circuits.

This connector is suited for residential, commercial, and light industrial applications where a compression-to-male-NPT transition is needed. Typical installation scenarios include fluid control panels, compressor lines, HVAC refrigerant or oil lines, and brake system plumbing. Its brass construction provides good corrosion resistance in most media. The compact form factor makes it practical in tight manifold and panel installations where straight-through connections are required.

Key Features

• Brass construction for corrosion resistance in fluid and pneumatic service
• Compression x MNPT end connections for tool-free tube installation on the compression side
• 1/8-27 NPTF thread for pressure-tight sealing without sealant tape on conforming ports
• Rated to 400 psi maximum working pressure
• Wide temperature range: -65 degrees F to 250 degrees F
• Meets D.O.T. FMVSS571.106 and SAE J246 standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style compression-to-MNPT connector for fluid and pneumatic systems requiring a 1/8-27 NPTF threaded male port interface.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified tradesperson familiar with compression fittings and NPT plumbing practice. Depressurize and isolate the line before disassembly or assembly. The NPTF thread is designed to seal on thread engagement alone, but verify the mating port condition before torquing. Follow applicable industry codes such as SAE J246 and any governing federal or local regulations for the system being serviced.
