Ham-let 3001997 Compression X Mnpt Connector 3/8 in Ss

Product Description

The HAM-LET 3001997 is a compression tube connector designed to join tubing to a male NPT threaded port in instrumentation, process, and fluid control systems. The connector uses a 3/8 inch compression end on one side and a 3/8 inch MNPT end on the other, providing a reliable tube-to-pipe transition. Constructed from 316 stainless steel to material grade ASTM A182, it is rated for a maximum working pressure of 7800 psi, making it suitable for high-pressure process lines. The overall installed length is 1.51 inches. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and instrumentation technicians typically install this fitting in industrial and commercial process applications.

This connector is used in high-pressure tubing systems where a transition from compression tubing to a male NPT threaded port is required. Typical applications include instrumentation manifolds, process control panels, chemical injection lines, oil and gas sampling systems, and hydraulic or pneumatic control circuits. The 316 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in wet, chemical, or offshore environments. It meets multiple ASTM and DIN standards, confirming its suitability for demanding process service conditions.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style compression-to-MNPT fitting for use in instrumentation and process tubing systems requiring a 3/8 inch tube connection to a 3/8 inch male NPT threaded port. Cross-reference: Swagelok part number SS-400-1-6.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed pipefitter or instrumentation technician familiar with high-pressure tubing systems. Depressurize and isolate the line completely before disassembling any existing fittings or making new connections. Use appropriate tube preparation tools to ensure a clean, square tube cut before seating the compression ferrule. Follow applicable industry codes, including ASME B31.3 for process piping, and consult the manufacturer torque and assembly guidelines specific to compression fitting installation.
