Parker 4FBC2N-316 Bulkhead Female Connector 1/8-27 Npt

Product Description

The PARKER 4FBC2N-316 is a stainless steel compression tube bulkhead female connector designed to pass tubing through a panel or bulkhead wall while maintaining a secure, leak-free seal. It features a compression fitting on one end and a female NPT (FNPT) connection on the other, allowing technicians to transition between compression tubing and threaded pipe systems in a single fitting. Rated to 10,300 psi maximum working pressure and a temperature range from -425 degrees F to 1200 degrees F, this connector is built for demanding industrial, instrumentation, and process applications where extreme conditions are a factor.

This fitting is commonly used in high-pressure instrumentation lines, hydraulic systems, refrigeration piping, and process control installations where tubing must pass cleanly through a panel or enclosure wall. The 1/8-27 NPT thread size fits standard small-bore tubing connections. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and instrumentation technicians typically install this fitting in both commercial and industrial environments.

Key Features

• Stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance and high-temperature durability
• Compression x FNPT end connections for panel or bulkhead pass-through installations
• Maximum working pressure of 10,300 psi for high-pressure system use
• Wide temperature range: -425 degrees F to 1200 degrees F
• 1/8-27 NPT thread standard for compatibility with common small-bore fittings

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style compression tube bulkhead female connector for use in high-pressure instrumentation, hydraulic, and process piping systems requiring a 1/8-27 NPT threaded connection.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified pipefitter or instrumentation technician familiar with high-pressure compression fittings. Depressurize and isolate the system completely before removing or installing any fitting. Follow applicable piping codes, including ASME and ANSI standards, for proper tube preparation, ferrule seating, and torque procedures. Do not overtighten compression fittings, as this can damage the ferrule and compromise the seal.
