Description

1/2X1/4
- The Parker part number
1568-8-4 1/2X1/4 refers to a brass compression adapter/connector designed for use with pneumatic (air) systems and specific types of tubing.
Here is a breakdown of the part number and description:

- Part Series/Type: The number sequence 1568 likely cross-references to a standard Parker series like 68C, 68CA, or 68P brass compression fittings, which are used in industrial, packaging, and general-purpose pneumatic applications.
- Material: The fitting is typically made of brass.
- Configuration: It is a straight connector or adapter.
- Sizing: The -8-4 (or 1/2X1/4) indicates the dimensions in 1/16-inch increments for the tube O.D. (outside diameter) and the pipe thread size:
-8 indicates a 1/2 inch (8/16") tube O.D. connection.
-4 indicates a 1/4 inch (4/16") male pipe thread (NPT) connection.
- Application Notes:
- It is designed for use with OD tubing, such as nylon or polyethylene, and not for ID (inside diameter) tubing.
- These fittings are typically rated for relatively low pressures, around 150 PSI maximum working pressure when used with compatible nylon air brake tubing, but this can vary depending on the specific tubing used and operating conditions.
