Autoclave 10MAL8P12 Male Adapter
Principle of Operation:
Parker Autoclave Engineer’s standard male-to-male one piece adapters are available in low, medium, and high pressure configurations and are designed to join two female connections of any combination.
Connection Types:
- Connection 1: LOW PRESSURE: The Low Pressure (aka “SpeedBite”) connection is a single-ferrule bite-type compression fitting engineered for use with tubing designed by Parker Autoclave Engineers to a controlled hardness. Speedbite fittings employ a bite-type compression style single ferrule that is manually tightened and are rated for MAWP up to 15,000 psi.
- Connection 2: 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.

- 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:
- The maximum pressure rating for an adapter is determined by the connection component with the LOWEST pressure rating.
- 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.
