Autoclave 10M416B8 Adapter
Principle of Operation:
Male-female adapters are designed to adapt a female connection to another size and/or type of connection without the need for additional couplings. In selecting an adapter involving two different sized connections, the larger connection should be on the male end where it is possible to maximize the mechanical strength of the adapter.
Connection Types:
- Male Connection HIGH PRESSURE: The High Pressure connection is a refinement of the original cone & thread joint which has been the standard connection in high pressure technology since its development by an agency of the US Government over 90 years ago. The pressure handling capabilities of this connection design have been applied successfully to control pressures in excess of 150,000 psi. All-metal sealing and working temperatures from -423F to +1200F.
- Female Connection NPT: Parker Autoclave Engineers use high quality UNS S31600/S31603 316/316L material cold worked to our stringent specifications that enable certification of NPT style Instrument Pipe Fittings to a maximum working pressure of 15,000 psi. It’s the strength of the material that allows this superior pressure rating and care should be taken to only use with other similar fittings made to the same specification.
Autoclave 10M416B8 Adapter Technical Data:

- Female Connection Size & Type: 1″ FNPT
- Pressure Rating: 10,000 psi
- Dimension “A” (Hex Size): 1.75″
- Dimension “B” (Length): 2.38″
- Material of Construction: All Parker Autoclave Engineers adapters are precision machined from cold-worked type 316 stainless steel. Other materials available on special order.
Notes:
- All Parker Autoclave Engineers adapters are supplied complete with appropriate glands, collars, tube nuts and sleeves.
- The maximum pressure rating for an adapter is determined by the connection component with the LOWEST pressure rating.
- Parker Autoclave Engineers Male/Female Adapters are also available in a “one-piece” design. They are identical to the two piece designs in length and can be ordered by adding the suffix “-OP” to the two piece adapter part number.
- All dimensions are for reference only and are subject to change.
NPT Connections:
- NPT threads must be sealed using a high quality PTFE tape and/or PTFE paste product. Refer to thread sealant manufacturer’s instructions on how to apply thread sealant.
- Sealing performance may vary based on many factors such as pressure, temperature, media, thread quality, thread material, proper thread engagement and proper use of thread sealant.
- Customer should limit the number of times an NPT fitting is assembled and disassembled because thread deformation during assembly will result in deteriorating seal quality over time. When using only PTFE tape, consider using thread lubrication to prevent galling of mating parts.
