Parker 2MSC2N-316 Compression Tube Connector 1/8-27 Npt

Product Description

The PARKER 2MSC2N-316 is a stainless steel compression tube connector designed to join compression tubing to a male NPT threaded port. It features a 1/8-27 NPT thread size with compression-to-MNPT end connections, making it a compact and reliable fitting for instrumentation, hydraulic, and process piping applications. Rated to a maximum working pressure of 10,900 psi and capable of handling temperatures from -425 degrees F to 1,200 degrees F, this connector is built for demanding service conditions. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and instrumentation technicians are the primary installers of this fitting.

This connector is suited for residential, commercial, and industrial applications where a transition from compression tubing to a male NPT threaded connection is required. Typical use cases include instrumentation lines, pneumatic control systems, hydraulic circuits, and process fluid handling where high-pressure and extreme-temperature performance are critical. The stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for corrosive media or environments where carbon steel fittings would be unsuitable.

Key Features

• Stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in aggressive media and environments
• Maximum working pressure of 10,900 psi for high-pressure system applications
• Wide temperature range: -425 degrees F to 1,200 degrees F
• 1/8-27 NPT thread standard for reliable sealing with standard male NPT ports
• Compression x MNPT end connections for straightforward tube-to-thread transitions
• Compact overall length of 1.2 inches for use in tight spaces

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-install compression tube connector for instrumentation, pneumatic, and process piping systems that use 1/8-27 NPT threaded male ports and compression tube fittings.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed pipefitter, plumber, or instrumentation technician in accordance with applicable codes such as the IPC or ASME B31.3 for process piping. De-pressurize and isolate the line completely before removing any existing fitting or installing this connector. Use appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape on the NPT threads per system requirements, and do not overtighten, as stainless steel threads are susceptible to galling. Verify compression ferrule seating and tube insertion depth before applying final torque to the compression nut.
