Eaton 3326X2 Close Nipple 1/8 Inch Mnptf 1200 Psi

Product Description

The EATON 3326X2 is a close nipple pipe fitting designed for industrial fluid and gas piping systems. It features a 1/8 inch MNPTF (Male National Pipe Taper Fuel) thread on both ends and provides a maximum working pressure of 1200 psi. The close nipple configuration means the threaded sections run the full length of the fitting with no unthreaded shank between them, making it the right choice when two fittings need to be joined with minimal spacing. At 3/4 inch in overall length and 0.01 pounds, it is a compact, lightweight component. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and industrial maintenance technicians are the primary installers of this type of fitting.

This close nipple is suited for use in industrial piping systems carrying fluids or gases where space between threaded connections is limited. It performs across a wide service temperature range of -65 degrees F to 250 degrees F, making it appropriate for both low-temperature and moderate-heat applications. Typical installation scenarios include manifolds, valves, gauges, and instrumentation connections in industrial and commercial settings where 1/8 inch MNPTF threaded ports are specified.

Key Features

• 1/8 inch MNPTF thread standard on both ends for secure, tapered thread engagement
• 1200 psi maximum working pressure rating for demanding industrial service
• Close nipple design minimizes space between connected fittings
• 3/4 inch overall length for compact inline installation
• Wide service temperature range: -65 degrees F to 250 degrees F

Compatibility

Designed for use in industrial piping systems with 1/8 inch MNPTF threaded ports, including valves, manifolds, gauges, and instrumentation connections requiring a close nipple configuration.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter in accordance with applicable piping codes such as the IPC or IFGC. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before removing or installing any pipe fittings. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the MNPTF threads before assembly to ensure a leak-free connection. Do not overtighten, as MNPTF tapered threads can crack fittings or damage mating ports if excessive force is applied.
