Value Collection SS-MC-FT12-MN8 Compression Connector

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SS-MC-FT12-MN8 is a stainless steel compression tube male connector designed to join a 3/4-inch OD tube to a 1/2-inch male NPT threaded fitting. It features compression-style end connections on one side and a male NPT thread on the other, making it suitable for creating secure, leak-resistant joints in fluid and gas distribution lines. Machined from 316-grade stainless steel, this connector meets multiple ASTM and DIN material standards. It measures 2.25 inches in overall length and weighs 0.25 pounds. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting in industrial, commercial, and mechanical system applications.

This connector is used in tubing systems that require a transition from compression tubing to NPT-threaded pipe connections. Typical applications include process piping, instrumentation lines, hydraulic systems, and other fluid-handling assemblies where corrosion resistance and pressure integrity are required. The 316 stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for environments exposed to moisture, mild chemicals, or elevated temperatures. It is sold individually and suits replacement and new-installation scenarios alike.

Key Features

• 3/4-inch tube OD inlet paired with 1/2-inch MPT outlet
• Overall length of 2.25 inches for compact inline installation
• Meets ASTM A182, ASTM A213, ASTM A269, ASTM A276, ASTM A479, DIN EN10122-5, and DIN EN10272 standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation compression tube male connector for tubing systems requiring a 3/4-inch OD compression inlet and a 1/2-inch male NPT outlet. Cross-references Swagelok part number SS-1210-1-8.

Installation Notes

Installation of compression fittings should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes and system pressure ratings. Shut off and depressurize the system fully before removing or installing any fitting. Use appropriate tube cutting and deburring tools to ensure a clean, square tube end before seating the compression ferrule. Do not overtighten; follow the fitting manufacturer's recommended turn-past-finger-tight procedure for compression connections.
