Parker PN252-55 Male Pipe Thread Nipple 1/4 in 200 Psi

Product Description

The PARKER PN252-55 is a male pipe thread extended nipple fitting designed for use in hydraulic hose assembly applications. Part of the Moldmate series, this brass fitting features a 1/4-inch NPTF thread and is rated for 200 psi service pressure. The non-valved design allows unrestricted flow when connected. With a temperature range of -20 degrees F to 400 degrees F, it handles demanding thermal conditions found in industrial and fluid power systems. Licensed hydraulic technicians and pipefitters install this type of fitting during hose assembly or system maintenance.

This fitting is suited for hydraulic hose connections requiring a male pipe thread interface in light-duty to moderate-pressure fluid systems. The 1/4-inch body diameter and NPTF thread form make it a practical choice for residential and light commercial hydraulic circuits, as well as general-purpose fluid transfer lines where a reliable threaded male nipple is required at the hose end.

Key Features

• NPTF thread form provides a pressure-tight seal without additional sealant when properly torqued
• Brass construction offers corrosion resistance in moisture-prone hydraulic environments
• Non-valved design allows full flow with no internal restriction
• 200 psi pressure rating suitable for light-duty hydraulic and fluid transfer circuits
• Wide service temperature range of -20 degrees F to 400 degrees F
• 1/4-inch body diameter matches common small-bore hose and fitting configurations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service fitting for hydraulic hose assemblies requiring a 1/4-inch male NPTF pipe thread extended nipple connection.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified hydraulic technician or pipefitter familiar with fluid power system assembly. Depressurize and isolate the hydraulic circuit completely before removing or installing any fittings. NPTF threads are designed to seal on the thread form itself, but confirm thread compatibility and inspect for damage before assembly. Follow applicable fluid power standards and equipment manufacturer guidelines for torque and assembly procedures.
