316 Stainless Steel Male Connector – 1/2 in. Tube OD x 1 in. MNPT (SMC 8-16N)

This precision-machined 316 stainless steel male connector is engineered for high-integrity tube-to-thread transitions in pressure-critical systems. Featuring a 1/2" tube OD compression end and a 1" male NPT thread, it’s built to handle tough operating conditions with leak-tight performance and full-flow capability.

The straight-through bore design allows for unobstructed media transfer, making it ideal for clean-in-place (CIP) loops, sanitary process lines, and chemical or gas handling systems. With a compact footprint and reliable compression seal, this fitting integrates smoothly into Swagelok® style instrumentation layouts and OEM assemblies.

Whether you’re routing high-pressure fluids, connecting analyzer equipment, or building out fluid transfer skids, this male connector offers the strength, cleanliness, and sealing performance required in modern process systems.
