Ham-let 3000982 Compression X Fnpt Connector 1/4 in

Product Description

The HAM-LET 3000982 is a compression tube connector designed to join tubing to female NPT threaded ports in fluid and gas distribution systems. Constructed from 316 stainless steel, this fitting delivers solid corrosion resistance in demanding environments including chemical processing, instrumentation lines, and industrial plumbing. The 1/4 inch thread size and compression-by-FNPT end configuration make it a direct, leak-resistant transition fitting between compression tubing and threaded pipe connections. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and instrumentation technicians are the primary installers of this fitting type.

This connector suits residential and commercial applications where a reliable compression-to-female-NPT transition is needed. Typical scenarios include instrument tubing hookups, process control lines, and utility plumbing installations requiring stainless steel fittings for corrosion resistance or sanitary requirements. The compression end accepts standard tubing without soldering or brazing, while the FNPT end threads onto male NPT pipe nipples or valve bodies.

Key Features

• 316 stainless steel construction for strong corrosion and chemical resistance
• Compression x FNPT end connections for tubing-to-threaded-pipe transitions
• 1/4 inch thread size suits common instrumentation and utility line applications
• FPT thread standard for compatibility with standard male NPT fittings
• Compression design eliminates the need for soldering or brazing during installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style compression tube connector for use in fluid and gas systems requiring 1/4 inch compression-to-FNPT transitions in 316 stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter. Shut off fluid or gas supply and depressurize the line before making any connections. Ensure tubing is cut cleanly and squarely before seating it into the compression end, and hand-tighten the compression nut before applying a final wrench turn to avoid overtightening. Consult applicable plumbing codes such as the IPC for pressure system requirements in your jurisdiction.
