The fitting is constructed from nylon and uses a compression-style grip on the tube side with a threaded connection on the opposite end. It is FDA listed and NSF listed, making it suitable for use in potable water and food-service fluid systems. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and facilities maintenance professionals typically install this type of fitting in low-pressure fluid lines where a secure, leak-resistant connection between tubing and a threaded component is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis connector is used in residential and light commercial plumbing, refrigeration drain lines, water filtration systems, beverage equipment, and similar applications where nylon construction is acceptable and NSF or FDA compliance is required. The compression end accepts 3\/8-inch OD tubing without soldering or adhesives, while the 3\/4-20 threaded end mates to compatible threaded ports or fittings. It is a single-piece unit sold individually.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/8-inch tube OD compression connection requires no solder, flare, or adhesive\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/4-inch, 3\/4-20 threaded end for direct connection to compatible threaded ports\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNylon construction with plastic grip type for corrosion resistance in fluid applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFDA listed and NSF listed for potable water and food-contact fluid systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLightweight at 0.02 pounds, suitable for space-constrained installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for plastic compression tube systems using 3\/8-inch OD tubing and 3\/4-20 threaded connections in plumbing, HVAC, and fluid-handling applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or qualified HVAC technician. Shut off water supply and relieve system pressure before removing or installing any compression fitting. Ensure the tubing end is cut cleanly and squarely and that the OD measures true 3\/8 inch before seating into the compression fitting. Follow applicable IPC and local plumbing codes for fitting use in potable water systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTube Outside Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4 inch, 3\/4-20\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Compression x Threaded\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Nylon\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrip Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Plastic\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.02 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCertifications\u003c\/strong\u003e: FDA Listed, NSF Listed\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4720\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\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: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0603.053\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68386077540658,"sku":"0603.053","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/d65d791afcf64d88a7b6194721695b28.jpg?v=1793903060","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-0603-053-compression-tube-connector","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
