Parker 2FSC2N-316 Compression Tube Connector 1/8-27 Npt

Product Description

The PARKER 2FSC2N-316 is a stainless steel compression tube connector designed to join compression tubing to a female NPT threaded port. Built for demanding fluid and gas handling applications, this fitting transitions between a compression-style tube connection and a 1/8-27 FNPT threaded end. The 316 stainless steel construction handles a wide service temperature range from -425 degrees F to 1200 degrees F and a maximum working pressure of 10,900 psi. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and instrumentation technicians install this type of fitting in high-pressure process, instrumentation, and pneumatic lines where leak-free, repeatable connections are required.

This connector is suited for instrumentation tubing runs in industrial, commercial, and process control environments. It is commonly used where a compression tube must terminate at a panel, valve, or instrument body with a standard NPT female port. The 1/8-inch tube outside diameter and 1/8-27 NPT thread size make it a compact choice for tight instrument manifolds, gauge connections, and control panel plumbing. It is appropriate for both gas and liquid service within its rated temperature and pressure limits.

Key Features

• 316 stainless steel body resists corrosion in aggressive media and elevated temperature service
• Maximum working pressure of 10,900 psi suitable for high-pressure instrumentation lines
• Wide temperature range from -425 degrees F to 1200 degrees F covers cryogenic through high-heat applications
• 1/8-27 NPT thread standard ensures compatibility with standard female NPT ports
• Compression x FNPT end connections allow direct tube-to-threaded-port transition without additional adapters

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style compression fitting for instrumentation and process tubing systems using 1/8-inch outside diameter tube terminated to 1/8-27 FNPT threaded ports.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified pipefitter or instrumentation technician following applicable codes such as ASME B31.3 for process piping. Depressurize and isolate the line completely before removing or installing any compression fitting. Use a backup wrench on the mating port to avoid twisting downstream tubing or components. Do not over-tighten the compression nut, as stainless ferrules require specific pull-up turns from finger-tight per the manufacturer fitting instructions.
