Ham-let 3000456 Compression Tube Connector 316 Ss

Product Description

The HAM-LET 3000456 is a compression tube connector designed to join 1/2 inch outside diameter tubing to a male NPT threaded port. Constructed from 316 stainless steel, it delivers reliable corrosion resistance in demanding fluid and gas handling applications. The compression-style end eliminates the need for soldering or welding during installation, allowing a secure, leak-tight connection with standard hand tools. This fitting is suited for instrumentation lines, process piping, and similar systems where material integrity and pressure integrity are critical priorities for licensed plumbers and pipefitters.

This connector is used in residential and commercial plumbing, HVAC instrumentation, and industrial process applications where a tube-to-threaded-port transition is required. The compression x MNPT configuration makes it a common choice for connecting copper or stainless tubing to valves, gauges, manifolds, and other threaded components. Its 316 stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for mildly corrosive media and outdoor or wet environments where carbon steel fittings would be unsuitable.

Key Features

• 316 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in process and plumbing applications
• 1/2 inch outside diameter tube compression end for tool-accessible, weld-free installation
• Male NPT threaded end for direct connection to standard threaded ports and fittings
• Compression x MNPT configuration supports tube-to-threaded transitions in tight spaces
• Single-piece connector design minimizes potential leak points in the assembly

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style compression tube connector for use with 1/2 inch outside diameter tubing in standard NPT-threaded plumbing, instrumentation, and process piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC and local plumbing code requirements. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before removing or installing any compression fittings. Do not overtighten the compression nut, as excessive force can deform the ferrule and compromise the seal. Verify thread compatibility and confirm the mating port is clean and undamaged before making the NPT connection.
