Parker BH1-61 Female Pipe Rigid Nipple Fitting 1/8 in Brass Nptf

Product Description

The PARKER BH1-61 is a female pipe rigid nipple fitting designed for use in hydraulic and fluid handling systems across industrial and mobile equipment applications. Machined from brass with a straight body profile, it features NPTF threading at a 1/8-27 thread size and a body diameter of 1/8 inch. The fitting is rated for a maximum working pressure of 3,000 psi and handles temperatures from -40 degrees F to 250 degrees F. It connects via threaded engagement and meets ISO 7241-1, Series B standards. Licensed plumbers, hydraulic system technicians, and industrial maintenance professionals install this type of fitting.

The BH1-61 is suited for a range of fluid and gas conveyance applications including industrial hydraulic lines, mobile equipment circuits, food and chemical processing systems, gas lines, and water and coolant lines. Its compact 1/8 inch size makes it appropriate for low-volume, tight-clearance hydraulic circuits where a rigid, leak-resistant threaded connection is required. The straight body shape simplifies inline routing without directional offsets.

Key Features

• Brass construction for corrosion resistance in fluid and chemical service environments
• NPTF thread form provides a pressure-tight mechanical seal without sealant tape in many applications
• 3,000 psi maximum working pressure supports demanding hydraulic line service
• Operating temperature range of -40 degrees F to 250 degrees F covers most industrial conditions
• Straight body profile for direct inline installation
• Meets ISO 7241-1, Series B standards for hydraulic quick-coupling and fitting interchange

Compatibility

Rated for use with food and chemical processing lines, gas systems, industrial hydraulic lines, mobile equipment hydraulic circuits, and water and coolant lines. Fits 1/8 inch hose size with 1/8-27 NPTF threaded connections. Part of the Parker Series 60 fitting line.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers, hydraulic system technicians, or industrial mechanics. Depressurize and isolate the hydraulic or fluid circuit fully before disassembly or fitting installation. NPTF threads are designed to seal on thread interference, but always inspect threads for damage before assembly and follow the system designer's guidance on thread sealants. Verify fitting torque and pressure ratings are compatible with the system before returning it to service.
