The SMC 16-16N is a stainless steel male connector engineered to join 1" stainless steel tubing to 1" Male National Pipe Taper (MNPT) threads with zero compromise on performance. Ideal for high-volume pressure systems or structural builds, this fitting combines a dual-ferrule compression end with a rugged NPT thread to create leak-tight, high-integrity connections.

Made from 316 stainless steel, this connector offers excellent corrosion resistance, vibration durability, and mechanical strength, even in aggressive process environments. The precision-tapered NPT thread provides a reliable pressure seal, while the compression end allows for clean assembly without welds or sealants.

This connector is widely used in instrumentation setups, Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) process panels, and industrial pipe-to-tube transitions where strength, consistency, and clean integration matter.
