Parker 215PNL-8-15 Long Nipple 1/2 Inch Mnptf 1000 Psi

Product Description

The PARKER 215PNL-8-15 is a long nipple pipe fitting with a 1/2 inch male MNPTF thread, rated for a maximum working pressure of 1000 psi. Designed for industrial piping systems, this fitting serves as a straight threaded extension point between pipes, valves, manifolds, or equipment ports. It carries a maximum working temperature of 250 degrees F and a minimum working temperature of -65 degrees F, making it suitable for a broad range of fluid handling and pneumatic applications. Plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians install this type of fitting when additional thread engagement length is required beyond a standard close nipple.

This long nipple is suited for industrial and commercial piping applications where MNPTF threaded connections are specified. Typical uses include connecting pipe runs to valve bodies, pressure gauges, manifolds, and equipment inlets in hydraulic, pneumatic, steam, and fluid transfer systems. The fitting meets SAE J530 and SAE J531 standards, making it appropriate for applications where compliance with those specifications is required. Its 1-1/2 inch overall length provides adequate extension for installations where standard short nipples do not reach.

Key Features

• 1/2 inch MNPTF male thread on both ends for standard tapered pipe thread connections
• 1000 psi maximum working pressure for demanding industrial service
• 1-1/2 inch overall length provides reach where close or short nipples are insufficient
• Operating temperature range from -65 degrees F to 250 degrees F supports a wide variety of fluid and gas applications
• Meets SAE J530 and SAE J531 standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use fitting for industrial piping systems requiring 1/2 inch MNPTF threaded long nipple connections rated to 1000 psi.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters. Depressurize and isolate the piping system completely before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads per the system fluid and pressure requirements. Follow applicable codes including ASME B31.1 or B31.3 and local mechanical codes when installing in pressurized piping systems.
