Parker PN352-55 Male Pipe Thread Extended Nipple Brass

Product Description

The PARKER PN352-55 is a male pipe thread extended nipple fitting designed for use in hydraulic and fluid transfer systems that demand reliable, leak-resistant connections. Machined from brass with an NPTF threaded interface, this straight fitting provides a 3/8 inch hose connection and a 1/4 inch thread size, rated to a maximum working pressure of 200 psi. The non-valved, straight-body design keeps flow paths unobstructed and simplifies installation. It is part of the Parker Moldmate series, built for industrial fluid control applications requiring tight tolerances and temperature-resistant construction. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and industrial maintenance technicians are the typical installers for this type of fitting.

This fitting is specified for use with die casting equipment and mold coolant lines, where controlled fluid delivery and pressure integrity are critical. The Moldmate series is engineered to handle the thermal cycling common in mold cooling circuits. The brass body withstands operating temperatures from -20 degrees F to 400 degrees F, making it suitable for both chilled and heated coolant systems. Its compact straight profile fits in tight plumbing configurations where bulkier fittings would be impractical.

Key Features

• Brass construction provides corrosion resistance and durability in coolant and hydraulic service
• NPTF threaded connection delivers a pressure-tight, tapered thread seal
• 200 psi maximum working pressure rating for dependable hydraulic line performance
• Straight body geometry supports inline installations with minimal flow restriction
• Non-valved design maintains full, unrestricted flow through the fitting
• Operating range of -20 degrees F to 400 degrees F suits a broad range of industrial fluid systems

Compatibility

Designed for use with die casting equipment and mold coolant lines as part of the Parker Moldmate series. Compatible with 3/8 inch hose and 1/4 inch NPTF threaded ports.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified pipefitter or industrial maintenance technician familiar with hydraulic and coolant plumbing systems. Depressurize and drain the system fully before removing or installing any fitting. NPTF threads are self-sealing by design, but follow applicable industry standards for thread engagement and sealant use on the specific fluid media in service. Inspect threads for damage before installation and do not overtighten, as brass fittings can be damaged by excessive torque.
