Parker 215PNL-2-20 Long Nipple 1/8 Mnptf 1000 Psi

Product Description

The PARKER 215PNL-2-20 is a long nipple pipe fitting with a 1/8 inch male MNPTF thread, designed to extend or connect sections of pipe in industrial fluid and pneumatic systems. Rated to 1000 psi maximum working pressure and capable of handling temperatures from -65 degrees F to 250 degrees F, this fitting is built for demanding service conditions. The overall length is 2 inches, making it suitable for applications that require more thread engagement or standoff than a standard close or hex nipple provides. Plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians install this type of fitting in compressed air, hydraulic, and fluid control lines where a reliable threaded metal connection is required.

This long nipple is appropriate for residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC refrigerant line accessories, pneumatic control systems, and industrial fluid distribution assemblies. The MNPTF thread form is used in applications where pressure-tight connections are needed without relying solely on thread sealant. The 1/8 inch thread size is common in instrumentation ports, pressure gauge taps, and small-bore pneumatic or hydraulic circuits. It meets SAE J530 and SAE J531 standards, confirming dimensional and performance conformance for professional installations.

Key Features

• 1/8 inch male MNPTF thread for pressure-tight pipe connections
• 1000 psi maximum working pressure rating
• Operating temperature range from -65 degrees F to 250 degrees F
• 2 inch overall length for extended thread engagement or standoff
• Meets SAE J530 and SAE J531 dimensional standards

Compatibility

Designed as a standard long nipple replacement or new-install fitting for 1/8 inch MNPTF pipe connections in industrial, HVAC, plumbing, and pneumatic systems requiring SAE J530 and SAE J531 conformance.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, or HVAC technicians. Depressurize and isolate the line completely before removing or installing any threaded pipe fitting. Apply a compatible thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads per the system fluid and pressure requirements. Hand-tighten first, then wrench-tighten to avoid cross-threading; do not overtighten, as this can crack fittings or damage mating threads.
