Parker 215PN-12 Close Nipple 3/4 Inch Mnptf 1000 Psi

Product Description

The PARKER 215PN-12 is a close nipple pipe fitting designed for industrial fluid and pneumatic systems requiring a short, threaded male-to-male connection. Machined with 3/4 inch MNPTF (male national pipe taper fuel) threads on both ends, it provides a pressure-rated inline extension or joining point between two female-threaded fittings or ports. The 215PN-12 is rated to 1,000 psi maximum working pressure and handles temperatures from -65 degrees F to 250 degrees F, making it suitable for demanding service environments. At 1.31 inches overall length, it delivers a true close-nipple profile with minimal exposed thread between connections. Licensed HVAC technicians, pipefitters, and plumbers working on hydraulic, pneumatic, fuel, or general industrial piping systems install this type of fitting as a standard component.

The 215PN-12 is used in industrial and commercial piping assemblies wherever a compact male threaded nipple is required to join two female-threaded fittings with no gap. Typical applications include hydraulic manifold connections, compressed air distribution lines, fuel system piping, and general fluid transfer systems. The MNPTF thread form creates a pressure-tight seal in metal-to-metal tapered thread joints. This fitting is well suited to maintenance, repair, and new installation work in plants, mechanical rooms, and equipment service environments where 3/4 inch pipe connections are standard.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard close nipple for 3/4 inch female NPTF-threaded ports and fittings in industrial hydraulic, pneumatic, fuel, and general fluid piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified pipefitters or plumbers in accordance with applicable piping codes such as the IPC or relevant industrial standards. Depressurize and isolate the line completely before removing or installing any threaded pipe fittings. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape compatible with the system fluid before making up the joint. Do not over-tighten tapered pipe threads, as this can crack fittings or distort the thread form.
