Parker SH3-63 Female Pipe Rigid Nipple Fitting 3/8in 1500psi

Product Description

The PARKER SH3-63 is a female pipe rigid nipple fitting designed for use in high-pressure hydraulic and fluid handling systems. Built from stainless steel with an NPTF threaded connection, this straight-body fitting delivers a maximum working pressure of 5,000 psi and handles temperatures from -40 degrees F up to 250 degrees F. It ships as a single unit and is intended for installation by licensed plumbers, hydraulic system technicians, and industrial maintenance professionals working on mobile or stationary equipment.

This fitting is suited for a wide range of demanding applications including industrial hydraulic lines, mobile equipment, food and chemical processing systems, gas lines, and water and coolant lines. The 3/8-inch hose size and 3/8-inch thread size make it a practical choice for mid-range hydraulic circuits where a secure, leak-free rigid connection is required. It conforms to ISO 7241-1, Series B standards, making it appropriate for use in regulated industrial environments.

Key Features

• Maximum working pressure of 5,000 psi for demanding hydraulic applications
• NPTF threaded connection provides a pressure-tight seal without the need for additional sealant tape in many installations
• Straight body shape simplifies inline installation and routing
• Wide temperature range from -40 degrees F to 250 degrees F
• Meets ISO 7241-1, Series B standards for hydraulic fluid power applications

Compatibility

Designed for use with food and chemical processing lines, gas lines, industrial hydraulic lines, mobile equipment, and water and coolant lines. Suitable for systems requiring a 3/8-inch NPTF female pipe rigid nipple connection conforming to ISO 7241-1, Series B.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified hydraulic technician or licensed plumber. Depressurize and isolate the hydraulic or fluid circuit fully before removing or installing any fittings. NPTF threads are designed to form a mechanical seal on the thread form itself — inspect threads carefully for damage before installation and verify torque requirements against system specifications. Follow applicable industry codes and equipment manufacturer guidelines for fitting installation in pressurized systems.
