Parker FEM-502-12BMF Male Bulkhead Jic Nipple 3625 Psi

Product Description

The PARKER FEM-502-12BMF is a male bulkhead flare JIC nipple designed for hydraulic line installations requiring a secure, leak-resistant panel or bulkhead mount. Constructed from steel with an SAE thread configuration, this fitting accepts a 1-1/16-12 thread and carries a pressure rating of 3625 psi. The 1/2-inch body diameter makes it suited for mid-range hydraulic hose assemblies. It provides a straight-through flow path and is used where hydraulic lines must pass through a panel, bracket, or enclosure wall while maintaining system pressure integrity. Installation is typically performed by hydraulic technicians or fluid power specialists working on industrial, mobile, or construction equipment.

This fitting is appropriate for steel hydraulic systems operating at or below 3625 psi. It is commonly used in mobile equipment, agricultural machinery, and industrial hydraulic circuits where a bulkhead-style panel penetration is required. The JIC flare seat design provides a metal-to-metal seal, reducing the risk of leak paths under pressure cycling and vibration. SAE thread sizing ensures compatibility with standard hydraulic hose ends and fittings used across North American trade applications.

Key Features

• Male bulkhead flare JIC nipple design for panel-mount hydraulic line routing
• 3625 psi pressure rating suitable for mid- to high-pressure hydraulic circuits
• 1-1/16-12 SAE thread for compatibility with standard JIC hose ends
• 1/2-inch body diameter for consistent flow in mid-range hose assemblies
• Steel construction provides durability in demanding hydraulic environments
• Metal-to-metal JIC flare seat minimizes leak risk under vibration and pressure cycling

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation hydraulic bulkhead fitting for steel hydraulic systems using SAE JIC flare connections at 1-1/16-12 thread size.

Installation Notes

This fitting should be installed by a qualified hydraulic technician or fluid power specialist. Before installation, depressurize and lock out the hydraulic system completely to prevent injury from residual pressure. Inspect the JIC flare seat on mating components for damage before assembly, as a compromised seat will prevent a proper metal-to-metal seal. Do not overtighten; follow standard JIC assembly practices and consult applicable SAE or system manufacturer torque guidance based on your specific application requirements.
