Parker BD-3116 62 00-1 Bulkhead Union 1/2 in Od Nylon

Product Description

The PARKER BD-3116 62 00-1 is a push-to-connect bulkhead union tube fitting designed for tube-to-tube connections through a panel or bulkhead wall. Manufactured from nylon, this fitting accepts 1/2 inch OD tubing on both sides and is rated to 290 psi. Installation requires no tools for the tube connection itself — tubing inserts directly into the collet and locks in place. It is well-suited for pneumatic and fluid transfer lines in HVAC, refrigeration, and light industrial applications where a clean, through-panel fitting is required.

This fitting is used in applications where tubing must pass through a partition, enclosure wall, or panel while maintaining a secure, leak-resistant connection on both sides. Typical installation scenarios include equipment enclosures, control panels, and fluid distribution systems. Licensed HVAC technicians and plumbing professionals working with nylon-compatible tubing systems are the primary installers. The 290 psi pressure rating supports a range of low-to-medium pressure pneumatic and fluid service environments.

Key Features

• Push-to-connect design allows fast, tool-free tube insertion on both ends
• Bulkhead configuration enables through-panel mounting for clean tube routing
• 1/2 inch OD tube compatibility on both ports
• Nylon construction resists corrosion and is lightweight
• Rated to 290 psi for low-to-medium pressure service

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for systems using 1/2 inch OD push-to-connect tubing routed through bulkhead panels in pneumatic or fluid transfer applications.

Installation Notes

Depressurize and isolate the tubing circuit completely before removing or installing any push-to-connect fitting. Ensure tubing ends are cut square and free of burrs before insertion to achieve a proper collet seal. The bulkhead body requires a drilled or punched panel opening sized to the fitting body diameter along with the supplied or appropriate locknut for secure mounting. Verify the tubing material and system fluid are compatible with nylon before installation.
