Parker 5MSC4N-316 Compression Tube Connector 1/4-18 Npt

Product Description

The PARKER 5MSC4N-316 is a stainless steel compression tube connector designed to join tubing to male NPT-threaded ports in fluid and gas distribution systems. It features a compression fitting on one end and a male NPT (MNPT) connection on the other, with a 1/4-18 NPT thread size. Rated to 8100 psi maximum working pressure and capable of handling temperatures from -425 degrees F to 1200 degrees F, this connector is built for demanding service in instrumentation, process, and industrial piping applications. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and instrumentation technicians are the typical installers.

This connector is suited for high-pressure and extreme-temperature environments including hydraulic lines, pneumatic instrument tubing, chemical process piping, and industrial fluid systems. Its compression-to-MNPT configuration makes it a common choice when transitioning from tubing runs to threaded pipe connections in tight spaces or panel-mounted assemblies. The stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in wet, chemical, or outdoor service conditions.

Key Features

• 8100 psi maximum working pressure for high-pressure service
• Temperature range from -425 degrees F to 1200 degrees F
• Stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance
• Compression x MNPT end connections for tubing-to-pipe transitions
• 1/4-18 NPT thread standard
• 1.52-inch overall length for compact installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style compression tube connector for use in instrumentation, process, and industrial fluid or gas piping systems requiring a compression-to-male NPT transition fitting.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, or instrumentation technicians. Shut down and depressurize the system completely before disconnecting or installing any fittings. Apply thread sealant to NPT threads per applicable codes and the fitting manufacturer guidelines. Verify tubing is cut cleanly and deburred before seating it in the compression end to ensure a leak-free connection.
