It makes a leak-tight transition from copper, aluminum, or thermoplastic tube to threaded pipe without soldering, using a brass sleeve compressed by the 11\/16-20 nut. The 0.81 in. hex gives a solid wrench grip during make-up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable border=\"1\" cellpadding=\"6\" cellspacing=\"0\" style=\"border-collapse:collapse\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart Number\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e00068-0808\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConnection 1\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1\/2 in.
