Parker 8MSC16N-316 Compression Tube Connector Npt

Product Description

The PARKER 8MSC16N-316 is a stainless steel compression tube connector designed to join tubing to male NPT threaded pipe connections. It features a compression-style tube end on one side and a male NPT (MNPT) threaded end on the other, allowing technicians to create a reliable, leak-resistant mechanical joint without welding or soldering. Rated for up to 6300 psi working pressure and a temperature range of -425 degrees F to 1200 degrees F, this fitting is built for demanding industrial and process applications. It is installed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and instrumentation technicians working on high-pressure fluid and gas systems.

This connector is suited for high-pressure industrial piping, process instrumentation, hydraulic, and pneumatic systems where a transition from compression tubing to a male NPT threaded port is required. The 316 stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for corrosive environments, including chemical processing, offshore, and food-grade applications. The 1-11 1/2 inch NPT thread size fits standard one-inch NPT ports. It ships as a single piece and is intended for professional installation in systems requiring consistent, repeatable tube-to-pipe connections.

Key Features

• Compression x MNPT end connections for tool-free tube attachment on one end and threaded pipe engagement on the other
• 316 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in harsh and high-purity environments
• Maximum working pressure of 6300 psi for high-pressure system compatibility
• Wide temperature range from -425 degrees F to 1200 degrees F suits cryogenic through high-heat applications
• 1-11 1/2 inch NPT thread standard for compatibility with standard one-inch NPT pipe ports
• Single-piece package with a minimum order quantity of one

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for industrial compression tube assemblies terminating at a standard one-inch NPT male threaded connection point.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified pipefitter, plumber, or instrumentation technician familiar with high-pressure compression fittings. Depressurize and isolate the system completely before disassembly or fitting installation. Follow applicable ASME and process piping codes for joint assembly and pressure testing. Do not overtighten the compression nut, as deformation of the ferrule can compromise the seal integrity.
