Vulcan 00-946852 Fitting 1/8 Inch Mpt X 1/4 Inch Compression

Product Description

The VULCAN 00-946852 is a genuine OEM replacement fitting and connector designed to establish secure gas or fluid line connections in commercial foodservice equipment. The fitting uses a 1/8 inch MPT male pipe thread on one end and a 1/4 inch compression nut and ferrule on the other, providing a reliable transition between pipe and tubing. Weighing just 0.04 pounds and measuring 1.2 inches in length, this compact hardware component is built for long-term service under the repeated thermal cycling and vibration typical of commercial cooking environments. Licensed service technicians and OEM-trained equipment repair professionals install this part during routine maintenance or component replacement procedures.

This fitting is suited for use in commercial gas-fired and fluid-carrying systems found in restaurant and institutional kitchen environments. It is an OEM-specified component intended as a direct replacement when the original fitting shows wear, leakage, or damage. Compatible models listed by the manufacturer include the VSX5G, OV310G, and 960A equipment lines. Always verify the thread size and compression tube diameter against the existing fitting before installation to confirm correct fitment.

Installation Notes

This fitting should be installed by a qualified service technician familiar with commercial gas or fluid piping. Shut off the gas supply or fluid source and relieve system pressure completely before removing any existing fitting. Follow local codes, including IFGC requirements for gas line connections, and verify all connections for leaks using an approved leak detection solution after reinstallation. Do not overtighten the compression nut, as excessive force can deform the ferrule and compromise the seal.
