Parker 4FBC4N-316 Bulkhead Female Connector Ss

Product Description

The PARKER 4FBC4N-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-tight seal. It combines a compression fitting on one end with a female NPT thread on the other, allowing direct connection to threaded ports or fittings. Rated for a maximum working pressure of 10,300 psi and a temperature range from -425 degrees F to 1,200 degrees F, this fitting is built for demanding fluid and gas system applications. Plumbers, pipefitters, and instrumentation technicians install this type of fitting in high-pressure lines requiring panel pass-through routing.

This fitting is suited for use in industrial process systems, instrumentation tubing runs, hydraulic panels, and high-purity fluid lines where a bulkhead-style panel penetration is required. The 1/4-inch tube outside diameter compression end accepts standard 1/4-inch OD tubing, and the 1/4-18 NPT female thread end connects to standard NPT-threaded ports. Stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for corrosive media, extreme temperatures, and high-pressure instrumentation service in both commercial and industrial environments.

Key Features

• Bulkhead design routes tubing through panels or walls without additional fittings
• Compression x FNPT end connections for versatile installation
• Maximum working pressure of 10,300 psi for high-pressure service
• Wide temperature range: -425 degrees F to 1,200 degrees F
• 316 stainless steel construction resists corrosion and withstands aggressive media
• 1/4-inch tube OD compression end with 1/4-18 NPT female thread

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style compression bulkhead fitting for use with 1/4-inch OD tubing and 1/4-18 NPT threaded ports in high-pressure instrumentation and fluid system panels.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified pipefitter or instrumentation technician. Depressurize and drain the line completely before removing or installing any fitting. Apply thread sealant to the NPT end in accordance with applicable piping codes; do not overtighten. Ensure the compression ferrule is properly seated on the tubing before tightening the compression nut to avoid leaks or tubing deformation.
