Parker VS68NTA-12-6 Compression Tube Connector 3/8 in

Product Description

The PARKER VS68NTA-12-6 is a brass compression tube connector designed to join tubing to a male NPT threaded port in pneumatic and fluid transfer systems. It features a compression-style tube end and a male NPTF threaded end, allowing a secure, leak-resistant connection without the need for tube flaring. Rated for a maximum working pressure of 150 psi and a temperature range of -40 degrees F to 200 degrees F, this fitting is built for reliable service in demanding environments. It meets D.O.T. FMVSS571.106, SAE J1131, and SAE J246 standards. Licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and fluid system technicians typically install this type of connector.

This compression connector is suited for use in hydraulic brake lines, air brake systems, fuel systems, and related fluid or pneumatic tubing assemblies where DOT and SAE compliance is required. The 3/8 inch NPTF thread size makes it a common fit for a variety of industrial and mobile equipment applications. It is appropriate for both new installations and replacement work in systems that demand certified fittings meeting federal and SAE standards.

Key Features

• Compression x MNPT end connections for tool-free tube installation without flaring
• Brass construction for corrosion resistance and durability in fluid systems
• Maximum working pressure of 150 psi for reliable service in pressurized lines
• Wide temperature range of -40 degrees F to 200 degrees F
• Meets D.O.T. FMVSS571.106, SAE J1131, and SAE J246 standards
• 3/8 inch NPTF thread standard for broad system compatibility

Compatibility

Designed as a standard compression-to-MNPT replacement fitting for pneumatic, hydraulic, and fluid transfer tubing systems requiring DOT and SAE certified brass connectors with a 3/8 inch NPTF thread.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with pressurized fluid or pneumatic systems. Depressurize and drain the system completely before removing or installing any fittings. Apply thread sealant appropriate for the fluid media to the NPTF male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten the compression nut, as this can crack the ferrule or distort the tubing.
