Parker BPN253F Female Pipe Rigid Nipple Fitting Brass Nptf

Product Description

The PARKER BPN253F is a straight, non-valved female pipe rigid nipple fitting designed for hydraulic hose assemblies and fluid transfer lines. Machined from brass with NPTF threading, this fitting accepts a 1/4 inch hose size and connects via a 3/8 inch threaded shaft to mating components. It carries a maximum working pressure rating of 200 psi and handles temperatures from -20 degrees F up to 400 degrees F. The straight body profile simplifies routing in tight plumbing layouts. It ships individually and is sized for quick integration into existing hydraulic or coolant line assemblies by trained hydraulic technicians or industrial pipefitters.

The BPN253F belongs to the Moldmate series and is specifically suited for die casting equipment and mold coolant lines. Its brass construction resists corrosion in water-based and oil-based coolant circuits commonly found in industrial molding operations. The 1/4 inch hose size and 3/8 inch NPTF thread combination makes it a practical choice for moderate-pressure coolant circuits where a secure, leak-free threaded seal is required. The non-valved design allows unrestricted flow when connected.

• 200 psi maximum working pressure rating
• Operating temperature range of -20 degrees F to 400 degrees F
• Straight body shape simplifies hose routing and assembly
• Non-valved design for unrestricted flow

Compatibility

Designed for use with die casting equipment and mold coolant lines as part of the Parker Moldmate series. Accepts 1/4 inch hose size with a 3/8 inch NPTF threaded connection.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified hydraulic technician or industrial pipefitter familiar with threaded pipe fitting practices. De-pressurize and drain the system fully before removing or installing any fittings. NPTF fittings rely on thread interference for sealing; use appropriate thread sealant or tape per the system manufacturer's guidelines and applicable codes. Do not overtighten, as brass fittings are susceptible to thread damage under excessive torque.
