Parker Hannifin MPI™ connections are engineered and manufactured to be secure and gas-tight while being made manually (wrench turns) or hydraulically using a set tool. This connection has application throughout industry, including offshore oil and gas exploration platforms, research labs, and other facilities that require operating pressures to 15,000 psi. MPI™ Fittings are ideally suited to handle liquids, gases, or chemicals and can be used on a wide variety of tubing materials including Instrument Grade thick-walled annealed 316 SS, 1/8th Hard (cold drawn) 316 SS MPI tubing, and 2507 Super Duplex MPI tubing. Every Parker MPI™ Fitting is supplied complete with both ferrules and compression gland nut, ready to install.
Features & Benefits:
- Front ferrule with corrosion-resistant Parker Suparcase® forms a seal between the tube, body and ferrule. It also provides a mechanical hold on the tube.
- Back ferrule with corrosion-resistant Parker Suparcase® provides a strong mechanical hold on the tube.
- Longer thread area for improved resistance to pressure and load on the ferrules.
- Molybdenum disulfide-coated inverted nut helps prevent galling, provides easier assembly and permits multiple remakes.
- Long tube-support area improves resistance to vibration and the line loads.
MPI™ Fittings Pressure Ratings
The maximum pressure rating is marked on each fitting. MPI™ working pressures to be determined by selected tubing.
