Parker BH3C-787 Pneumatic Coupling Nipple 1/4 in 300 Psi

Product Description

The PARKER BH3C-787 is a brass pneumatic hose coupling nipple designed for use in industrial compressed-air and pneumatic fluid-power systems. It features a 1/4-inch body diameter with a 1/4-18 NPTF threaded connection, providing a pressure-tight, leak-resistant fit without the need for additional sealant in many installations. Rated to 300 psi maximum working pressure, this nipple meets industrial interchange standards, making it broadly compatible with mating couplers across the interchange type. At 1.56 inches overall length and a lightweight brass construction, it is a compact, corrosion-resistant fitting suited to tight-space pneumatic assemblies. Pipefitters, pneumatic system technicians, and industrial maintenance professionals are the typical installers.

This coupling nipple is used wherever quick-connect pneumatic hose connections are required in industrial settings. It is appropriate for air compressor drop lines, pneumatic tool connections, and factory floor air distribution systems. The industrial interchange design means it mates with the wide range of industrial-interchange-standard female couplers found throughout manufacturing, automotive service, and general-purpose pneumatic circuits. Its brass body offers good resistance to corrosion in typical compressed-air environments.

Key Features

• 1/4-18 NPTF threaded connection for pressure-tight, fuel-resistant thread engagement
• 300 psi maximum working pressure rating
• Industrial interchange type for broad coupler compatibility
• Brass body construction for corrosion resistance
• Compact 1.56-inch overall length suits tight-clearance installations
• Threaded connection type for secure, tool-assisted assembly

Compatibility

Designed as a standard industrial-interchange-type pneumatic coupling nipple compatible with industrial-interchange female couplers in compressed-air and pneumatic fluid-power systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a pipefitter or pneumatic systems technician. Depressurize and lock out the air supply before removing or installing any pneumatic fittings. NPTF threads are designed to seal on the threads themselves, but verify system requirements before applying thread sealant. Use a calibrated torque wrench and follow applicable ASME or manufacturer guidelines for threaded fitting assembly to avoid over-tightening and thread damage.
