Value Collection PS-MH-HPC1-051 Hex Nipple 3/8 in Nptf

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION PS-MH-HPC1-051 is a steel hydraulic hose hex nipple rated for 10,000 psi service pressure. It features a 3/8 inch NPTF (National Pipe Taper Fuel) thread on both ends, providing a dry-seal mechanical connection without the need for additional thread sealant in most applications. The hex body measures 1.5 inches in diameter, giving wrenching flats for secure installation with standard hand tools. Weighing 0.36 pounds, this fitting is suited for high-pressure hydraulic plumbing in industrial, mobile, and shop equipment environments. Licensed tradespeople and hydraulic system technicians are the typical installers.

This hex nipple is designed for use in high-pressure hydraulic lines operating up to 10,000 psi. It is appropriate for connecting two female-threaded ports or hose ends in hydraulic circuits found in industrial machinery, shop presses, hydraulic power units, and mobile equipment. The NPTF thread form provides a pressure-tight seal at the thread interface, making it a practical choice for systems where leak-free connections are critical. Sold individually, this fitting suits repair, retrofit, and new-build hydraulic plumbing work.

Key Features

• 10,000 psi pressure rating for high-pressure hydraulic service
• 3/8 inch NPTF thread provides a dry-seal, leak-resistant mechanical connection

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-style replacement or new-installation hex nipple for high-pressure hydraulic systems using 3/8 inch NPTF female-threaded ports or hose ends rated to 10,000 psi.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified hydraulic technician or pipefitter. Depressurize and isolate the hydraulic circuit fully before removing or installing any fitting. NPTF threads are designed to seal mechanically, but verify system requirements before applying thread sealant compounds. Torque fittings per the system manufacturer guidelines using appropriately sized wrenches on the hex flats to avoid damage to the fitting body or connected ports.
