Parker 159-032-4100-1  1″ Female Tube 316SS (Lot of 4)

The Parker 159-032-4100-1 1″ Female Tube 316SS is a specific component in Parker’s line of tube fittings and fluid handling products. Here’s a breakdown of the key features and specifications:

Key Specifications:

1. Part Number:

   • Parker 159-032-4100-1: This is the unique catalog number for this particular part, helping to identify the exact component in Parker’s product line.

2. Size:

   • 1″: This refers to the nominal tube size the fitting is designed to connect. It means the fitting is compatible with a 1-inch outer diameter tube. Tube fittings are used to make leak-tight connections between metal or flexible tubes in fluid systems.

3. Female Threaded Fitting:

   • The “female” designation means that this fitting has internal threads, designed to accept a male-threaded component. This would be used to connect the fitting to a male-threaded tube or pipe connector.
   • In this case, it’s likely used for a swaged or compression connection with a 1-inch tube.

4. Material:

   • 316SS (316 Stainless Steel): This material is a high-quality, corrosion-resistant steel alloy that is commonly used in industries where there is exposure to corrosive environments, such as chemicals, food processing, pharmaceuticals, and marine applications.
     • 316SS offers higher resistance to corrosion than the more common 304 stainless steel, especially against chlorides, acids, and other corrosive substances.

5. Product Type:

   • This component is part of Parker’s tube fitting series, typically used in fluid and gas systems, providing tight, secure connections between tubes and pipes. These fittings are part of Parker’s instrumentation, hydraulic, and pneumatic fluid systems.

Typical Uses:

• Fluid Systems: This type of tube fitting is used to connect various tubes in fluid handling systems, ensuring a secure, leak-proof connection.
• Corrosive Environments: Given the material, the fitting is designed to work in environments that may involve exposure to harsh chemicals or marine conditions.
• Instrumentation and Industrial Applications: Commonly found in instrumentation, automation, and manufacturing settings that require precise and durable connections for tubes carrying fluids or gases.
