Parker PN353-85 Male Pipe Thread Nipple 3/8 in 200 Psi

Product Description

The PARKER PN353-85 is a male pipe thread extended nipple hydraulic fitting from the Moldmate series. It is machined from brass and threaded to NPTF standards, providing a dry-seal connection that resists leakage without sealant tape in compatible hydraulic and fluid-transfer applications. The fitting carries a 200 psi pressure rating and handles temperatures from -20 degrees F to 400 degrees F, making it suitable for a broad range of operating conditions. It is a non-valved fitting, meaning flow passes through freely with no internal check mechanism. Hydraulic technicians and plumbing professionals install this fitting as part of hose assemblies, manifold connections, or inline plumbing runs.

This fitting is suited for hydraulic hose assemblies, fluid-transfer lines, and low-to-moderate pressure piping systems that require a reliable male NPTF threaded connection. The extended nipple design provides additional thread engagement length, which is useful in deeper-port or tight-clearance installations. It is commonly selected for industrial hydraulic systems, mobile equipment plumbing, and general fluid-power applications where a brass NPTF male fitting is specified. The 3/8 inch thread size and body diameter make it a standard size in light-duty to medium-duty hydraulic and pneumatic circuits.

Key Features

• Brass construction provides corrosion resistance in hydraulic and fluid-transfer service
• NPTF dry-seal thread form minimizes leakage risk at the connection point
• 200 psi pressure rating suitable for light-to-medium hydraulic and pneumatic circuits
• Wide temperature range of -20 degrees F to 400 degrees F accommodates varied service environments
• Extended nipple body design allows deeper port engagement in tight-clearance installations
• Non-valved design ensures unrestricted flow through the fitting

Compatibility

Designed for use with hydraulic hose assemblies and fluid-transfer systems requiring a 3/8 inch NPTF male pipe thread extended nipple fitting. Part of the PARKER Moldmate series.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified hydraulic technician or licensed plumber. Depressurize and drain the system completely before removing or installing any hydraulic fitting. NPTF threads are designed as dry-seal connections; inspect threads for damage before installation and avoid over-tightening, which can crack brass fittings. Follow applicable industry standards and equipment manufacturer guidelines for hydraulic hose assembly and fitting torque procedures.
