Boshart BC-68 No-Lead Brass Compression x 1/2" MPT Adapter

Boshart BC-68 No-Lead Brass Compression x 1/2" MPT Adapter

The Boshart BC-68 is a no-lead brass compression x 1/2" MPT adapter built for rough-in plumbing connections behind the wall or under the floor. This family of compression fittings is available in 1/4" and 3/8" compression tube sizes, each transitioning into a shared 1/2" MPT threaded end, so installers can select the size that matches the tubing run while relying on a consistent male pipe thread connection at the fitting end. Suitable for low to medium pressure applications carrying gasoline, grease, oil, water, vacuum, and air lines, the BC-68 is compatible with copper, brass, aluminum, plastic, CPVC, and PEX tubing on the compression side. The male pipe thread end gives installers a reliable way to tie dissimilar tubing materials into threaded fittings, valves, or manifolds on a job site, making this adapter a practical stocking item for rough-in crews and supply houses.
