Parker 215PN-6 Close Nipple 3/8 Inch Mnptf 1000 Psi

Product Description

The PARKER 215PN-6 is a close nipple pipe fitting designed for industrial fluid and gas plumbing systems. A close nipple is a short, fully threaded pipe connector — both ends are male threads with no unthreaded center section — used to join two female-threaded fittings directly together. This fitting carries a maximum working pressure of 1,000 psi and is rated for temperatures from -65 degrees F to 250 degrees F. The 3/8 inch MNPTF thread type forms a pressure-tight mechanical seal. Plumbers, pipefitters, and industrial maintenance technicians install this type of fitting during system assembly and repair.

This close nipple is suited for industrial piping systems that operate under high-pressure conditions. The MNPTF (Male National Pipe Taper Fuel) thread form is commonly used in hydraulic, pneumatic, fuel, and general fluid transfer lines in both commercial and industrial settings. Its compact one-inch overall length makes it appropriate for tight-clearance installations where standard nipples would not fit. Compliance with SAE J530 and SAE J531 standards confirms dimensional and thread-form conformance for use in applicable system designs.

Key Features

• Maximum working pressure of 1,000 psi for demanding industrial applications
• Wide temperature range from -65 degrees F to 250 degrees F
• MNPTF thread type for pressure-tight connections in fuel and fluid lines
• Compact 1 inch overall length for restricted-clearance installations
• Meets SAE J530 and SAE J531 dimensional standards
• 3/8 inch male thread size with 0.375 inch thread diameter

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or system-build component for industrial piping assemblies that use 3/8 inch MNPTF female-threaded fittings, manifolds, or valves in high-pressure fluid and gas service.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified pipefitters. Isolate and depressurize the affected line completely before removing or installing any threaded pipe fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the fluid and pressure class of the system. Follow applicable IPC and system manufacturer guidelines for torque and assembly procedure.
