Parker 6MBC8N-316 Bulkhead Connector 1/2-14 Npt Ss

Product Description

The PARKER 6MBC8N-316 is a compression tube bulkhead connector designed to pass tubing through a panel, bulkhead, or wall while maintaining a leak-tight seal. Constructed from stainless steel, it features a 1/2-14 NPT thread size with compression-to-male NPT end connections. This fitting is rated for a maximum working pressure of 6600 psi, handles temperatures from -425 degrees F to 1200 degrees F, and is suited for demanding fluid and gas transfer applications in industrial, HVAC, and process piping environments. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and industrial technicians are the primary installers of this component.

This bulkhead connector is used in applications requiring a secure through-panel tube connection, such as instrument panels, hydraulic assemblies, refrigeration systems, and process control installations. Its stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for corrosive or high-purity service environments. The compression-to-MNPT configuration allows direct connection between compression tubing on one side and a male NPT threaded port on the other, simplifying installation in mixed-connection systems.

Key Features

• Stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in demanding service environments
• Rated to 6600 psi maximum working pressure
• Wide temperature range: -425 degrees F to 1200 degrees F
• 1/2-14 NPT thread size with compression x MNPT end connections
• Bulkhead-style design for through-panel tube routing
• Single-piece package, sold individually

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style compression bulkhead connector for use in systems requiring 1/2-14 NPT threaded connections with compression tube ends in stainless steel construction.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed pipefitter or plumber familiar with compression fittings and NPT thread sealing practices. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male NPT threads before assembly, following applicable IPC or IFGC guidelines. Ensure the system is fully depressurized and isolated before removing or installing this fitting. Do not overtighten the compression nut, as this can damage the ferrule and compromise the seal.
