Constructed from white nylon, this fitting offers good chemical resistance and is well suited for applications where metal fittings would corrode or add unnecessary weight. The male pipe thread (MPT) end connections on both ends allow straightforward installation into standard female-threaded ports. At 0.0035 pounds, it is a lightweight component sized at 1\/4 inch by 1\/8 inch, making it appropriate for reducing or joining pipe runs in fluid handling or pneumatic systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis hex nipple is commonly used in residential and light commercial plumbing, fluid transfer lines, irrigation systems, and low-pressure pneumatic circuits where nylon plastic fittings are acceptable per local codes and system pressure requirements. The 1\/4 x 1\/8 inch sizing makes it a standard reducing hex nipple for transitioning between two common pipe sizes. It is typically installed by plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general maintenance trades working on water, air, or compatible fluid lines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNylon construction provides corrosion resistance and lightweight handling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMPT end connections on both ends for direct threading into female-threaded ports\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/4 x 1\/8 inch reducing configuration for transitioning between two pipe sizes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWhite color for easy identification in mixed-fitting installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact, low-weight design at 0.0035 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or add-on fitting for low-pressure pipe systems using standard NPT female-threaded connections in 1\/4 inch and 1\/8 inch pipe sizes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a qualified plumber or technician in accordance with applicable IPC or local plumbing codes. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before removing or installing any fittings. Apply thread sealant tape or compound rated for plastic fittings to the male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten nylon fittings, as excess torque can crack the fitting body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hex Nipple\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4 x 1\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Nylon\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Connection\u003c\/strong\u003e: MPT (Male Pipe Thread) both ends\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor\u003c\/strong\u003e: White\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0035 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: PARKER\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 316P-4-2N\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PARKER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51541651325234,"sku":"316P-4-2N","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/ee79a3e3cdae949eea69607b6e7db431_e3b11914-3807-492f-a22b-b3bd779e8e37.jpg?v=1785881199","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/parker-316p-4-2n-nylon-hex-nipple-1-4x1-8-mpt","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
