Stainless Stel Male Connector – 1" Tube x 1/2" MNPT (SMC 16-8N)
The SMC 16-8N is a stainless steel straight male connector engineered to link 1" tubing to a 1/2" Male National Pipe Taper (MNPT) port. It provides a tight, vibration-resistant seal using a dual-ferrule compression end and a precision-tapered thread, making it ideal for high-integrity process systems.
Crafted from 316 stainless steel, this fitting resists corrosion, thermal cycling, and system pressure fluctuations. The smaller MNPT size makes it useful when adapting high-flow tube lines to equipment with reduced port sizes, such as regulators, gauges, or threaded manifolds.
This connector is widely used in Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) skids, lab systems, and industrial fluid routing where performance, cleanliness, and compatibility with Clean-in-Place (CIP) operations are required.
Key Benefits
- Transitions from 1" tube to 1/2" MNPT thread
- Dual-ferrule design ensures leak-tight tube sealing
- MNPT thread offers pressure-sealing without thread sealant degradation
- 316 stainless steel body resists corrosion and chemical attack
- Compact and reusable; ideal for OEM or field maintenance installs
- Polished finish supports sanitary and hygienic system builds
Typical Applications
- Skid-mounted process systems
- Clean-in-Place (CIP) chemical delivery lines
- OEM instrumentation assemblies
- Valve connections, sensor ports, or regulators
- Food-grade, pharmaceutical, or industrial transfer systems
