Parker 215PN-2 Close Nipple 1/8 Inch Mnptf Brass

Product Description

The PARKER 215PN-2 is a close nipple fitting designed for industrial pipe assemblies requiring a compact, thread-to-thread connection. Manufactured from brass, this fitting features a 1/8 inch male MNPTF (Dryseal) thread on both ends and measures 3/4 inch in overall length. It carries a maximum working pressure of 1000 psi and is rated for temperatures from -65 degrees F to 250 degrees F. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and industrial maintenance technicians install this fitting in compressed air, fluid, and gas distribution systems where minimal pipe length between two threaded connections is required.

The 215PN-2 is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, pneumatic, and hydraulic applications where a close nipple is needed to join two female-threaded fittings or valves with virtually no gap. Its brass construction makes it appropriate for water, air, oil, and compatible fluid service lines. The MNPTF thread form provides a pressure-tight seal at the threads themselves, reducing reliance on tape or compound, though installation practices should follow applicable system requirements.

Key Features

• Brass construction for corrosion resistance in water, air, and oil service
• MNPTF dryseal thread form provides a reliable pressure-tight thread engagement
• 1/8 inch male thread size for compact, close-coupled pipe connections
• Rated to 1000 psi maximum working pressure
• Wide temperature range: -65 degrees F to 250 degrees F
• Compact 3/4 inch overall length minimizes installation footprint
• Meets SAE J530 and SAE J531 standards

Compatibility

Designed as a standard close nipple replacement for 1/8 inch MNPTF female-threaded fittings, valves, and ports in industrial and commercial pipe systems conforming to SAE J530 and SAE J531 thread standards.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable system codes. De-pressurize and isolate the pipe system completely before removing or installing any threaded fittings. MNPTF dryseal threads are designed to seal at the thread engagement, but verify system requirements for the use of thread sealant compounds. Hand-tighten first, then use a properly sized pipe wrench to achieve full thread engagement without over-torquing the brass body.
