Parker 23KAAN17MPN Pneumatic Hose Coupler 1/4 in Brass

Product Description

The PARKER 23KAAN17MPN is a brass pneumatic hose coupler from the 23 Series, designed for industrial compressed-air and pneumatic fluid-transfer applications. It features a male NPTF threaded connection in a 3/8-18 thread size and a 1/4-inch body diameter, making it a standard industrial interchange coupler. Rated to 300 psi maximum working pressure and a temperature range of -4 degrees F to 212 degrees F, this coupler handles the demands of typical shop-air and production-line pneumatic systems. HVAC techs, plumbers, and industrial maintenance professionals install this fitting where a reliable, leak-resistant threaded coupler connection is required.

The 23KAAN17MPN suits residential and commercial pneumatic tool and equipment setups that follow the industrial interchange standard. Its brass construction resists corrosion in moist or oily air environments. The 3/8-18 male NPTF thread provides a pressure-tight mechanical seal without relying solely on thread sealant. At 2.37 inches overall length and a 0.81-inch hex size, it fits standard wrenches and installs into common air-line manifolds, hose assemblies, and compressor outlets.

Key Features

• Industrial interchange coupler type for broad tool and hose compatibility
• Brass construction for corrosion resistance in compressed-air service
• Male NPTF threaded connection for a pressure-tight seal
• 300 psi maximum working pressure rating
• Operating temperature range of -4 degrees F to 212 degrees F
• 0.81-inch hex size fits standard combination or open-end wrenches

Compatibility

Designed as an industrial interchange style coupler compatible with standard industrial interchange pneumatic plugs and hose assemblies using 3/8-18 male NPTF threaded connections.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified mechanic or plumber familiar with compressed-air piping. Depressurize and bleed down the air system completely before removing or installing any coupling. Apply thread sealant tape or compound rated for pneumatic service to the NPTF threads as needed, and tighten using an appropriately sized wrench on the hex flats. Do not exceed the 300 psi rated working pressure of the fitting.
