Pro-source PC68-DOT-88 Brass Push-to-connect 1/2 in

Product Description

The PRO-SOURCE PC68-DOT-88 is a brass push-to-connect male connector designed for fast, tool-free tube connections in general-purpose pneumatic and fluid systems. One end accepts 1/2 inch OD tubing via a push-to-connect mechanism, while the other end terminates in a male NPT threaded port for direct installation into threaded fittings, valves, or manifold blocks. Built from brass and rated to DOT standards, this fitting suits applications where reliable, leak-resistant connections are required without soldering or compression tooling. Licensed plumbers and pneumatic system technicians are the primary installers.

This fitting is suited for general-purpose pneumatic lines, air brake systems, and fluid transfer applications where DOT-compliant hardware is specified. The push-to-connect end simplifies field assembly and allows tubing to be inserted and secured in a single motion. The male NPT thread allows direct engagement with standard pipe thread ports found on pumps, valves, tanks, and inline equipment across light industrial and commercial installations.

Key Features

• Brass construction provides corrosion resistance and durability in pneumatic and fluid service
• Push-to-connect end accepts 1/2 inch OD tubing with no tools required for insertion
• Male NPT thread for direct connection to standard threaded ports and fittings
• DOT-rated construction meets Department of Transportation standards for applicable systems
• Overall length of approximately 1.315 inches (33.40 mm) supports compact installation layouts
• Single-piece unit sold individually, no additional hardware required for installation

Compatibility

Designed for general-purpose use with 1/2 inch OD tubing in pneumatic and fluid systems requiring DOT-compliant push-to-connect fittings with male NPT thread termination.

Installation Notes

Depressurize and de-energize the system completely before removing or installing any fittings. Hand-tighten the NPT thread first, then apply a wrench for final seating - use thread sealant tape or compound appropriate to the service fluid. To insert tubing, push firmly until it bottoms out in the collet; to release, depress the collet ring and pull the tube straight out. Installation should comply with applicable DOT regulations and local plumbing or pneumatic codes.
