Parker PN252F Female Pipe Rigid Nipple 1/4 in 200 Psi Nptf

Product Description

The PARKER PN252F is a female pipe rigid nipple fitting designed for hydraulic hose assemblies requiring a secure, non-valved connection. Built from steel with an NPTF thread profile, it provides a pressure-rated seal in fluid power systems where thread-form integrity is critical. Rated to 200 psi with an operating temperature range of -20 degrees F to 400 degrees F, this fitting is suited for moderate-pressure hydraulic and pneumatic lines. It belongs to the Parker Moldmate series and is sold individually. Plumbers, pipefitters, and hydraulic technicians working on hose fabrication or repair applications will find this a direct-service component.

This fitting is used in hydraulic hose routing applications where a female pipe rigid nipple end connection is required. The NPTF thread form creates a pressure-tight seal through thread-form interference, reducing reliance on sealant tape in properly torqued installations. With a 1/4 inch body diameter and 1/4 inch thread size, it is commonly found in light to moderate hydraulic circuits, fluid transfer lines, and pneumatic assemblies across residential, commercial, and light industrial settings.

Key Features

• NPTF thread form provides a mechanical pressure-tight seal at the thread interface
• Non-valved design allows full flow when connected
• Steel construction for durability in hydraulic and pneumatic service
• 200 psi pressure rating suitable for moderate-pressure fluid power lines
• Wide temperature range: -20 degrees F to 400 degrees F
• 1/4 inch thread and body diameter for compatibility with standard hose and pipe assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service fitting for hydraulic hose assemblies requiring a 1/4 inch NPTF female pipe rigid nipple connection in moderate-pressure fluid power systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified pipefitter or hydraulic technician familiar with NPTF thread engagement requirements. De-pressurize and isolate the hydraulic or pneumatic circuit completely before removing or installing any fittings. NPTF fittings rely on thread-form interference for sealing; inspect threads for damage before assembly and follow the fitting manufacturer's recommended turns-past-finger-tight engagement practice. Applicable installations should conform to relevant fluid power and piping codes for the system type.
