Parker BPV252 Male Pipe Rigid Nipple Fitting 1/4 in 200 Psi

Product Description

The PARKER BPV252 is a valved male pipe rigid nipple fitting designed for hydraulic and fluid-handling applications in industrial settings. Built from brass with NPTF threaded connections, this straight-body fitting is rated for a maximum working pressure of 200 psi and handles temperatures from -20 degrees F to 400 degrees F. The 1/4 inch body diameter and 1/4 inch thread size make it a compact, direct-thread component. It is part of the Moldmate series and is installed by fluid power technicians and industrial maintenance professionals who need a reliable, valved coupling in tight-tolerance systems.

The BPV252 is designed for use with die casting equipment and mold coolant lines, where controlled fluid flow and leak-free threaded connections are critical. The valved design allows for flow control at the fitting point, which is useful in mold coolant circuits that require individual line shutoff without depressurizing an entire manifold. This fitting is suited for light industrial and precision manufacturing environments where brass construction is appropriate for coolant and hydraulic media compatibility.

Key Features

• Valved design allows flow control at the connection point without full system shutdown
• Brass construction provides corrosion resistance for coolant and hydraulic fluid service
• NPTF threaded connection ensures a pressure-tight mechanical seal
• Straight body profile with 1/4 inch thread size and 1/4 inch hose port
• Wide temperature range: -20 degrees F to 400 degrees F
• 200 psi maximum working pressure for light-duty hydraulic and coolant circuits

Compatibility

Designed for use with die casting equipment and mold coolant lines. Part of the Parker Moldmate series, which is intended for modular coolant circuit connections in injection molding and die casting applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified fluid power technician or industrial maintenance professional. Depressurize and drain the system before removing or installing fittings. NPTF threads are designed for dry-seal connections, but thread sealant tape or compound may be used per system requirements and applicable fluid system standards. Do not overtighten brass fittings, as the material can crack under excessive torque.
