Parker SSH3-63 Female Pipe Rigid Nipple Fitting 3/8 in Nptf

Product Description

The PARKER SSH3-63 is a female pipe rigid nipple fitting designed for use in hydraulic hose assemblies. It provides a fixed, non-swivel connection at the hose end, transmitting hydraulic fluid between hose lines and ported components without rotation. Constructed from stainless steel, this fitting carries a 1,500 psi pressure rating and handles fluid temperatures from -15 degrees F up to 400 degrees F. The NPTF thread form creates a pressure-tight mechanical seal through thread interference, reducing reliance on sealant compounds. Licensed hydraulic technicians and fluid power mechanics are the primary installers of this fitting in industrial and mobile hydraulic systems.

This fitting is suited for hydraulic hose terminations where a rigid pipe connection is required at a fixed port. Typical applications include industrial machinery, mobile equipment hydraulic circuits, and fluid transfer lines where stainless steel construction is specified for corrosion resistance or elevated-temperature service. The 3/8 inch body diameter and NPTF thread make it a common choice for medium-flow hydraulic circuits operating within the 1,500 psi working pressure range.

Key Features

• Stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in harsh or wet service environments
• 1,500 psi working pressure rating suitable for medium-pressure hydraulic circuits
• NPTF thread form creates a pressure-tight mechanical seal through thread interference
• Wide service temperature range of -15 degrees F to 400 degrees F
• 3/8 inch thread size and body diameter for common mid-range hydraulic hose assemblies
• Rigid nipple design maintains fixed orientation at the port connection

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for hydraulic hose assemblies requiring a 3/8 inch NPTF female pipe rigid nipple connection rated to 1,500 psi.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified hydraulic technician or fluid power mechanic. Depressurize and lock out the hydraulic system completely before removing or installing any fittings. NPTF threads rely on thread-form interference for sealing; inspect threads for damage before assembly and apply thread sealant only as required by the system specification. Torque to the system or equipment manufacturer's specifications for the fitting size and material.
