Parker BD-SH3C-1 Pneumatic Coupling Nipple 1/4 in

Product Description

The PARKER BD-SH3C-1 is a pneumatic hose coupling nipple designed for industrial compressed-air and pneumatic fluid-transfer lines. Built from stainless steel with a zinc chromate finish, it provides corrosion resistance in demanding service environments. The nipple features a 1/4-18 NPTF threaded connection and a 1/4 inch body diameter, with a maximum working pressure of 300 psi. Its industrial interchange configuration ensures broad compatibility with standard quick-disconnect coupler bodies of the same interchange type. Licensed HVAC technicians, pipefitters, and industrial mechanics install this fitting as part of pneumatic control and supply-line assemblies.

This coupling nipple is suited for use in compressed-air distribution systems, pneumatic tool supply lines, and industrial automation equipment where a reliable threaded quick-disconnect connection is required. The industrial interchange standard is one of the most widely used quick-connect profiles in North American facilities, making this nipple a common maintenance and replacement item in both light and heavy industrial settings. Its stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for environments where mild corrosives or moisture are present.

Key Features

• Stainless steel body with zinc chromate finish for corrosion resistance in wet or chemical-exposure environments
• 1/4-18 NPTF threaded connection provides a pressure-tight mechanical seal without sealant tape on properly mated fittings
• 300 psi maximum working pressure rating suitable for standard industrial compressed-air service
• Industrial interchange coupling type ensures fitment with the most common quick-disconnect coupler bodies in North American use
• 1/4 inch body diameter and 1.56 inch overall length for compact inline installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or maintenance nipple for industrial interchange pneumatic quick-disconnect systems using 1/4-18 NPTF threaded connections and 1/4 inch body diameter coupler bodies.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified pipefitters, maintenance mechanics, or pneumatic system technicians. Depressurize and lock out the air supply line completely before removing or installing any coupling component. NPTF threads are designed to seal on the thread form itself, but inspect threads carefully and follow applicable facility or plant piping standards for thread sealant use. Do not exceed the rated 300 psi working pressure in service.
