Frequently asked questions
What are the two end connections?+
A 1/2 in male JIC 37-degree flare and a 1/2 in male NPT tapered pipe thread. The part number is MC-8T-08N.
Does it include ferrules or a nut?+
No. Both ends of this adapter are male threads, so there is no compression connection to make up and nothing loose in the box.
How do the two ends seal?+
The JIC end seals metal-to-metal where the 37-degree cone meets the mating flare; the NPT end seals on the tapered thread itself, which normally means a thread sealant or PTFE tape applied by the installer. No sealant is supplied with the fitting.
What is the body material?+
Our listing data for MC-8T-08N does not state the alloy. Ask us to confirm the material in writing before specifying this part for a wetted, high-purity or corrosive service — we will not guess at it here.
Is more than one size available?+
No. This listing is a single 1/2 in × 1/2 in configuration sold individually. Superlok's straight tube fittings and ferrule sets are listed separately.
Where does Superlok sit in this catalogue?+
Superlok is recorded as the manufacturer brand on this product. Its fractional tube fittings are a four-part design — body, front ferrule, rear ferrule and nut — although this particular part is a threaded adapter rather than a compression fitting.
