Constructed from steel, this fitting features an 11\/16-16 thread on one end and a 3\/8-18 thread on the other, allowing techs to connect lines of differing thread sizes without fabricating a custom solution. Compression-style fittings like this are a standard choice where a reliable, tool-assisted seal is needed and permanent brazing or welding is not practical. This adapter is sold in a pack of five units, making it practical for service vehicles or shop stock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis fitting is used in plumbing, hydraulic, and pneumatic tubing applications where two differently threaded male-connection lines must be joined. It is appropriate for residential and light commercial service work. Installers working on refrigeration lines, fuel systems, or general fluid transfer lines will encounter thread combinations that require a step-down or step-up adapter of this type. The steel construction makes it suitable for moderate-pressure applications common in trade service work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSteel construction provides durability in fluid-handling and moderate-pressure applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e11\/16-16 to 3\/8-18 thread configuration bridges two common but differing thread sizes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMale compression end connections on both ends for straightforward inline adaptation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSold in a 5-pack to support shop stock or multi-fitting service calls\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact form factor fits tight tubing runs and confined service spaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or service fitting for tubing systems requiring a male compression adapter with 11\/16-16 and 3\/8-18 thread ends in steel construction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber, HVAC technician, or qualified mechanic familiar with compression fitting procedures. Always depressurize and drain the line before removing or installing any fitting. Use appropriate wrenches to seat the fitting to the manufacturer-recommended engagement without over-torquing the steel threads. Verify thread compatibility and check for leaks after pressurizing the system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size (End 1)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 11\/16-16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size (End 2)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8-18 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Connections\u003c\/strong\u003e: Male\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Adapter\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.01 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 27121700\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: 16970\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51722192683314,"sku":"16970","price":77.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/7b05971c61034680046eb46ebd36776e.jpg?v=1788587103","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-16970-compression-tube-adapter-male-steel-5-pack","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
