It features a compression fitting on one end and a male NPT thread on the other, allowing direct connection to threaded ports in instrumentation, process equipment, and fluid-handling systems. Rated to 6300 psi maximum working pressure, this fitting handles extreme pressure demands in demanding industrial and mechanical applications. The 316 stainless steel construction supports service from -425 degrees F to 1200 degrees F, making it suitable for cryogenic, high-temperature, and corrosive-environment installations. Licensed trades and instrumentation technicians are the typical installers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis bulkhead connector is used wherever tubing must pass cleanly through a panel or enclosure wall in process piping, instrumentation, HVAC refrigerant lines, hydraulic circuits, and pneumatic systems. The compression-by-MNPT configuration allows one side to grip tubing mechanically while the threaded end mates with a standard NPT port. Its wide temperature range and high pressure rating make it appropriate for both cryogenic service and elevated-temperature process lines in commercial and industrial settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6300 psi maximum working pressure for high-pressure fluid and gas service\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTemperature range of -425 degrees F to 1200 degrees F covers cryogenic through high-heat applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e316 stainless steel construction resists corrosion in aggressive process environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompression x MNPT end connections for tool-assisted tube grip on one side and threaded-port engagement on the other\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3\/8-18 NPT thread size conforms to the NPT standard for reliable sealing with sealant or PTFE tape\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBulkhead design routes tubing through panels or enclosures without additional fittings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style and aftermarket replacement compression bulkhead connector for instrumentation, process, and fluid-handling systems requiring a 3\/8-18 NPT male thread and compression tube connection in stainless steel construction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a qualified pipefitter, instrumentation technician, or licensed plumber familiar with NPT threaded connections and compression fitting assembly. Depressurize and isolate the system completely before removing or installing any fitting. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male NPT threads per applicable codes such as ASME B31.3 or the applicable mechanical code for the jurisdiction. Do not over-tighten the compression nut; follow the fitting manufacturer's turn-past-finger-tight procedure to avoid deforming the ferrule or tube end.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: 316 Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bulkhead Connector\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Connections\u003c\/strong\u003e: Compression x MNPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8-18 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: NPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Working Pressure\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6300 psi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Temperature\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1200 degrees F\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Temperature\u003c\/strong\u003e: -425 degrees F\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.26 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\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: 8MBC6N-316\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PARKER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51542272573746,"sku":"8MBC6N-316","price":146.74,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/d5b75b436b0c825ab5f37ad5cc28becc_1937bcb5-5074-4307-a5f9-84f2f67e525e.jpg?v=1785897018","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/parker-8mbc6n-316-bulkhead-connector-3-8-18-npt-ss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
