Value Collection 0603.063 Compression Tube Connector

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 0603.063 is a plastic compression tube connector designed to join tubing to a threaded port in fluid-handling systems. It features a compression-style tube end that accepts 1/2 inch outside diameter tubing and a threaded end sized at 1/4 inch with 7/16-20 thread. The body and grip components are made from nylon, making it suited for applications where corrosion resistance and light weight are required. This fitting is FDA listed and NSF listed, confirming it meets standards for use in potable water and food-contact fluid systems. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and fluid-systems installers work with this type of fitting regularly.

This connector is used in residential and light commercial plumbing, water treatment, food service equipment, and refrigeration tubing systems where a compression-to-threaded transition is needed. The nylon construction makes it appropriate for low-pressure, non-aggressive fluid lines. Its compression end allows for tool-assisted, leak-resistant connections without soldering or adhesive. Install locations typically include under-counter water filtration units, ice machine supply lines, and similar small-bore tubing runs.

Key Features

• Nylon body and plastic grip for corrosion-resistant, lightweight performance
• Accepts 1/2 inch OD tubing on the compression end
• 1/4 inch, 7/16-20 threaded end for direct port connection
• FDA listed and NSF listed for potable water and food-contact applications
• Compression x threaded configuration eliminates need for soldering or adhesive

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for plastic compression tube systems using 1/2 inch OD tubing and a 1/4 inch, 7/16-20 threaded port in plumbing, water treatment, and fluid-handling equipment.

Installation Notes

This fitting is typically installed by licensed plumbers or qualified HVAC and refrigeration technicians. Shut off the water supply and relieve line pressure before disassembling any existing fitting or making new connections. Hand-tighten the compression nut first, then use an appropriate wrench to snug the connection without over-torquing the nylon components, which can crack under excessive force. Follow applicable IPC or local plumbing codes for plastic fitting installations in potable water systems.
