Because the body is drilled fully through, it doubles as a tank or bulkhead fitting where the male thread passes through a wall and is locked with a nut. The 0.87 in. hex eases wrenching; threads are 9\/16-24 on the compression side and 1\/2-14 on the pipe side.\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\u003e00088-0608\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConnection 1\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3\/8 in.
