Parker PN252-70 Male Pipe Thread Nipple 1/4 in Brass

Product Description

The PARKER PN252-70 is a male pipe thread extended nipple fitting designed for hydraulic hose assemblies. Built from brass with an NPTF thread profile, this non-valved fitting provides a secure, leak-resistant connection point in hydraulic lines operating at up to 200 psi. The 1/4-inch body diameter and 1/4-inch thread size make it a compact component suited for low-to-medium pressure hydraulic circuits. Part of the Moldmate series, it handles a temperature range from -20 degrees F to 400 degrees F. Licensed hydraulic technicians and plumbers install this type of fitting during hose fabrication or system maintenance.

The PN252-70 is intended for use in hydraulic hose systems where a male NPTF extended nipple connection is required. The extended nipple design allows for deeper thread engagement in applications where standard nipple length is insufficient. It is appropriate for industrial hydraulic equipment, mobile machinery, and fluid transfer systems that require brass fittings rated for moderate pressures. Its compact 1/4-inch size is commonly found in control circuits and auxiliary hydraulic lines.

Key Features

• Brass construction provides corrosion resistance in hydraulic fluid and water-based media
• NPTF thread form creates a pressure-tight mechanical seal without sealant on properly mated fittings
• Non-valved design allows unrestricted flow when connected
• 200 psi pressure rating suitable for low-to-medium pressure hydraulic circuits
• Wide service temperature range: -20 degrees F to 400 degrees F
• Part of the Moldmate series for consistent dimensional compatibility within the product line

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service fitting for hydraulic hose assemblies requiring a 1/4-inch NPTF male pipe thread extended nipple connection. Verify thread engagement and pressure rating against system requirements before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified hydraulic technician or licensed plumber familiar with NPTF thread standards. Depressurize and isolate the hydraulic circuit completely before removing or installing any fittings. NPTF threads are designed to seal on the thread form itself; inspect threads for damage before assembly and apply thread sealant only if required by system specifications. Torque to fitting manufacturer guidelines and verify the assembly is leak-free before returning the system to service.
