Ham-let 3000469 Compression X Mnpt Connector 3/8 in Ss

Product Description

The HAM-LET 3000469 is a compression tube connector designed to join tubing to a male NPT threaded port in fluid and gas handling systems. The fitting uses a compression-style end connection that grips tubing mechanically without soldering or welding, making field assembly straightforward for licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and instrumentation technicians. Constructed from 316 stainless steel meeting ASTM A269 standards, it delivers corrosion resistance in aggressive media environments. The overall length is 1.51 inches, and the unit weighs 0.11 pounds. The 3/8 inch thread size suits common instrument tubing and small-bore process line applications.

This connector is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, instrumentation, and process piping applications where a reliable compression-to-male-NPT transition is required. It performs across a rated temperature range of -20 degrees C to 100 degrees C, covering most ambient and moderate-process-temperature service conditions. Typical installations include compressed air lines, water service tubing, and analytical instrument connections where a leak-tight, reusable fitting is preferred over a sweat or press-fit alternative.

Key Features

• 316 stainless steel construction meets ASTM A269 for corrosion-resistant service
• Compression x MNPT end connections allow tool-simple, weld-free assembly
• 3/8 inch thread size compatible with standard male NPT ports
• Rated from -20 degrees C to 100 degrees C for broad service temperature coverage
• Overall length of 1.51 inches suits compact manifold and panel installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style compression tube connector for small-bore process, instrumentation, and plumbing systems requiring a 3/8 inch compression to male NPT transition in 316 stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC or process piping codes. Depressurize and isolate the line completely before disconnecting or installing any compression fitting. Ensure tubing is cut square, deburred, and fully seated into the fitting body before tightening the compression nut to avoid leaks or tube pullout. Do not overtighten; follow the fitting manufacturer's recommended turns-past-finger-tight procedure for compression connections.
