Parker VS68NTA-10-8 Compression Tube Connector 1/2 in

Product Description

The PARKER VS68NTA-10-8 is a brass compression tube connector designed to create a secure, leak-resistant joint between compression tubing and a male NPT threaded port. The fitting features a Compression x MNPT end configuration with a 1/2 inch NPTF thread size and an inside diameter of 0.398 inches. It is rated for a maximum working pressure of 150 psi and a temperature range of -40 degrees F to 200 degrees F. Built to DOT FMVSS571.106, SAE J1131, and SAE J246 standards, this connector is suited for hydraulic, pneumatic, and fluid transfer lines in mobile equipment, HVAC, and plumbing applications. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians are the primary installers.

This compression tube connector is appropriate for use in both residential and commercial settings where a reliable transition between compression tubing and a male NPT threaded fitting is required. Common install scenarios include refrigeration lines, fuel lines, air brake systems, and general fluid transfer piping where DOT and SAE compliance is required. The brass construction provides good corrosion resistance across a wide range of media and operating conditions.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber, pipefitter, or qualified HVAC technician. Shut off and fully depressurize the line before disassembling or installing any compression fitting. Ensure tubing is cut cleanly and squarely, and that the compression sleeve seats properly before tightening. Follow applicable IPC and IFGC code requirements for the specific system and media being conveyed.
