Parker 316 Stainless Steel A-LOK 3/4" Compression Tube Fitting x 1/2" FNPT
12FSC8N-316 straight Connector tube fitting from the A-LOK Series. It is constructed from 316 Stainless Steel and connects a 3/4" O.D. tube via a double ferrule compression end to a 1/2" FNPT pipe thread
The Parker A-LOK two-ferrule compression fittings are engineered to provide highly reliable, leak-free connections in demanding process and instrumentation applications. Manufactured from heat code traceable 316 Stainless Steel, this connector offers exceptional corrosion resistance, high tensile strength, and is designed to handle a wide range of pressures (2400 psi to 5800 psi) and temperatures.
This fitting is essential for securely integrating fluid or gas tubing into standard pipe systems, such as those found in water treatment equipment.
Key features and benefits include:
- 316 Stainless Steel: Offers superior corrosion resistance, making it ideal for environments exposed to chemicals, water, and steam, such as the Culligan Water Softener system.
- A-LOK Double Ferrule: Utilizes Parker’s reliable two-ferrule bite-type design, featuring hardened ferrules and silver-plated nuts (not included with body, but standard design) for leak-free, high-pressure performance without galling during assembly.
- Tube-to-Pipe Connection: Connects 3/4" Outer Diameter (O.D.) tubing (using compression) directly to a 1/2 inch Female NPT threaded port.
- Critical System Use: This fitting is specifically utilized in the Culligan Water Softener Airline Plumbing Assembly for robust and dependable connections.
- High-Pressure Rating: Suitable for operating pressures between 2400 psi and 5800 psi, ensuring extreme safety and reliability in critical lines.
