Description
The Johnson Controls Part number F-200-37 is a 3/8″ x 3/8″ compression fitting and is used as a compressor adapter. It is a coupling that connects a compressor to a refrigerant line that has an outer diameter of 3/8 inches. The barb end with barbs or teeth is connected to the refrigerant line, and the compression end is screwed to the compressor’s discharge or suction valve. On the compression end, a compression nut screws around the compressor port to secure a perfect seal and does not allow the refrigerant to escape the closed-loop system. This type of adapter is usually applied in HVAC systems where there is a need to join compressors to copper refrigeration lines. It is produced from brass, is corrosion-resistant, and can therefore be used to handle the high pressure and temperatures associated with HVAC systems.
