Parker 8MSC2N-316 Compression Tube Connector 6300 Psi

Product Description

The PARKER 8MSC2N-316 is a stainless steel compression tube connector designed to join tubing to male NPT threaded ports in fluid and gas distribution systems. It provides a compression fitting on one end and a male NPT connection on the other, creating a reliable, leak-resistant transition between tube and pipe thread. Rated to 6300 psi maximum working pressure, this connector is suited for high-pressure instrumentation, pneumatic, hydraulic, and process piping applications. At 1.53 inches overall length and 0.13 pounds, it installs in confined spaces without sacrificing pressure integrity. Licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and industrial piping contractors are the typical installers.

This connector is used in residential and commercial settings wherever stainless steel fittings are required for corrosion resistance or system cleanliness. Common applications include instrument tubing runs, process gas lines, compressed air distribution, and refrigeration or cooling system piping. The 1/8-27 NPT thread size fits standard 1/8-inch male pipe thread ports on valves, gauges, manifolds, and inline components. The compression end accommodates compatible tubing without requiring solder or flare preparation.

Key Features

• Stainless steel construction resists corrosion in demanding fluid and gas service environments
• 6300 psi maximum working pressure rating for high-pressure instrumentation and process applications
• Compression x MNPT end connections allow tool-free tube engagement on the compression end
• 1/8-27 NPT thread standard ensures compatibility with widely used pipe thread ports
• Compact overall length of 1.53 inches supports installation in space-constrained locations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service fitting for high-pressure instrumentation and process piping systems requiring a 1/8-27 NPT male thread with a compression tube inlet.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber, HVAC technician, or qualified piping contractor familiar with high-pressure fitting assembly. Depressurize and isolate the line completely before removing or installing any compression fitting. Apply thread sealant compatible with the service medium to the male NPT threads per IPC and IFGC guidelines. Do not overtighten the compression nut, as stainless ferrules require only moderate torque to achieve a proper seal.
