Manufactured from 316 stainless steel, this fitting provides corrosion resistance suitable for demanding fluid and gas handling systems. The compression end creates a leak-tight seal on the tubing without welding, while the MNPT end threads directly into a female NPT port. With an overall length of 1.82 inches, it is a compact, reliable inline connector used by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and instrumentation technicians in industrial, commercial, and mechanical system applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis connector is suited for use in fluid distribution lines, instrument tubing runs, and process piping where stainless steel is required for corrosion resistance or cleanliness. It is commonly installed in commercial and industrial settings including HVAC hydronic systems, pneumatic controls, chemical processing, and laboratory gas lines. The NPT thread standard ensures compatibility with standard pipe fittings found throughout North American plumbing and instrumentation installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e316 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in harsh environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompression x MNPT end connections for tool-assisted, weld-free assembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/4-inch tube OD compression end accepts standard instrument tubing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/2-inch male NPT thread connects to standard female pipe ports\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeets ASTM A182, A213, A269, A276, and A479 material standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOverall length of 1.82 inches for compact inline installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard compression-to-male-NPT connector for 1\/4-inch OD tubing systems using NPT-threaded fittings.

Shut off all line pressure and depressurize the system before installation or removal. NPT threads should be sealed with appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape per manufacturer and applicable code requirements. Do not overtighten the compression nut, as this can deform tubing and compromise the seal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: 316\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Connections\u003c\/strong\u003e: Compression x MNPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTube Outside Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size (MNPT)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: NPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.82 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.25 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: ASTM A182, ASTM A213, ASTM A269, ASTM A276, ASTM A479, DIN EN10122-5, DIN EN10272\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: SS-MC-FT4-MN8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51718435406130,"sku":"SS-MC-FT4-MN8","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/45e556595772101ba23cf0cd20e20c12.jpg?v=1788553419","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-ss-mc-ft4-mn8-compression-male-connector","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
