Parker PN352 Male Pipe Rigid Fitting 3/8 in Nptf Brass

Product Description

The PARKER PN352 is a male pipe rigid straight fitting designed for hydraulic hose and fluid-transfer systems operating at pressures up to 200 psi. Constructed from brass with NPTF threaded connections, this fitting provides a reliable, leak-resistant seal in demanding industrial environments. The straight body geometry accommodates direct in-line connections, and the 3/8-inch body diameter pairs with a 1/4-inch thread size for common plumbing transitions. Rated for temperatures from -20 degrees F to 400 degrees F, the PN352 suits a broad range of process temperatures encountered in industrial fluid circuits. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and hydraulic technicians typically install this fitting.

The PN352 belongs to Parker's Moldmate series, which is engineered specifically for die casting equipment and mold coolant lines. These applications demand fittings that maintain seal integrity under cyclic pressure and wide temperature swings. The straight NPTF configuration allows direct port-to-hose connections without additional adapters, keeping assemblies compact and reducing potential leak points in coolant circuits.

Key Features

• Brass construction for corrosion resistance in coolant and hydraulic fluid service
• NPTF threaded connection provides a pressure-tight dry-seal without additional sealant tape in most applications
• 200 psi maximum working pressure rated for typical mold cooling circuit demands
• Wide temperature range: -20 degrees F to 400 degrees F
• Straight body shape enables direct in-line hose-to-port assembly
• Part of the Parker Moldmate series, purpose-built for die casting and mold coolant applications

Compatibility

Designed for use with die casting equipment and mold coolant lines as part of the Parker Moldmate series. Suitable for hydraulic hose assemblies requiring a 3/8-inch body diameter male pipe rigid fitting with a 1/4-inch NPTF thread.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified pipefitter or hydraulic technician familiar with NPTF threaded fittings. Depressurize and drain the system completely before removing or installing any fittings. NPTF threads are designed to seal on the threads themselves; inspect threads for damage before assembly and apply thread sealant only if required by the system specification. Follow applicable industry codes and equipment manufacturer guidelines for torque and assembly procedures.
