Boshart PQC-MA0608 3/8" OD x 1/2" MPT Plastic Quick Connect Adapter

The Boshart PQC-MA0608 is a plastic quick connect adapter built for point-of-use (POU) rough-in work, transitioning 3/8" OD tubing to a 1/2" MPT threaded connection.

The adapter can be removed and reused without damaging the pipe, making it a practical choice for plumbers and contractors who need a reliable, tool-free connection on the job. It is compatible with PVC, Polyethylene, PEX, and Copper tubing, giving installers flexibility across a range of common pipe materials found in rough-in and behind-the-wall applications.

Boshart PQC-MA0608 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will a Boshart PQC-MA0608 quick connect adapter work with 3/8 inch OD poly tubing and a 1/2 inch female threaded port?
That is exactly what it does. The PQC-MA0608 takes 3/8 inch OD tubing on the push-fit side and threads into a 1/2 inch female port with its 1/2 inch MPT male pipe thread. Tubing side accepts PVC, polyethylene, PEX, and copper of that 3/8 inch OD size.
2) Do I need a crimp tool or glue to install this push-fit adapter?
No tools. The tubing pushes into the fitting and is held by a stainless steel gripper ring, sealed by an NBR o-ring. No crimp rings, no solvent cement, no clamps. It also comes apart and goes back together without wrecking the tube, so it works for service points you expect to open again.
3) Can I use a plastic quick connect adapter on a drinking water filter or water dispenser line?
Point-of-use work is the main use case for the PQC-MA0608. It is built for POU rough-in, water filtration systems, water dispensing equipment, and food and beverage service plumbing, plus agricultural and irrigation lines. The 3/8 inch OD tube size matches the usual filter and dispenser supply tubing.
4) Is the body metal or plastic, and will it hold up to chemicals?
The body is engineered plastic, not brass. Boshart states it resists most organic compounds, industrial chemicals, and gases. The only metal part is the stainless steel gripper ring that bites the tube; the seal is an NBR o-ring. If your spec calls for a metal-bodied fitting, this is not it.
5) What part number do I order for the 3/8 inch tube by 1/2 inch MPT Boshart quick connect adapter?
Boshart MPN PQC-MA0608. One size configuration, 3/8 inch, so there is no handing, finish, or option code to specify. Country of origin is South Korea.
6) Can this adapter be reused if I have to pull the line apart later?
Yes. The fitting disconnects and reinstalls without damaging the pipe or tubing, which is the practical difference between this and a crimped or glued connection. Handy on filter cartridge changes and equipment swaps where the same tube gets reconnected.
7) How many Boshart PQC-MA0608 adapters come in a pack?
Packaged 10 each, which suits contractors stocking a van or a filtration installer doing a run of units rather than a single repair.
