Male Connector Type

Male connector is one of tube fitting are widely use to connector between tubing and equipment. Thermocouple connectors are use specifically for connecting between cylinder vessel pressure and connect with measuring instruments with cable. Some application is use male connector bulkhead for panel hole. Male Thread connectors are also adapter to the application of use in the strength of the thread pressure and standard usage.

Bulkhead Type Male Connector

FITOK bulkhead tube fittings are available in a variety of end connections.
They include the following:
Male connector.
Tube fitting to AN.
Female connectors.
Reducing unions.
Unions.

Installation Bulkhead Male Connector

Bulkhead retainers use to act as a backup wrench on the body hex of a bulkhead fitting. Available in tube sizes from 1/8 through 1 in

To install a bulkhead fitting, it is usually necessary to have one person hold the body hex . While another tightens the jam nut on the other side of a panel and again while the fitting is being pulled-up.

Tubing can be connecting to end side B by one person holding the body hex and pulling up the fitting according to installation instructions. To pull up the fitting on end A, without a bulkhead retainer, it is necessary to put a person on side B to hold the body hex. When the person on side A tightens the tube fitting according to installation instructions.
Using the bulkhead retainer is only one person can tighten the jam nut on side A for initial bulkhead installation. Tubing can now be connecting to side A or B by one person with one wrench since the bulkhead retainer acts as a backup wrench.

Thermocouple Type of Male Connector

Thermocouple bored through male connectors accommodate thermocouples or dip tubes. Most male connectors are available as a bored through fitting. Male connectors whose pipe thread end is small relative to the tube fitting end. Thermocouple bored through reducers and standard tees can be use to create a heat exchanger tee.

Bored through fittings have a reduced pressure rating, Multiplied the allowable working pressure of the tubing to find working pressure.

Male Connector Thread Type

This connector has two different connection sides. The first side is connected with tubing and secondly side can be connected to pipes or using threads. Thread also has several types according to its application such as hydraulic, instruments air, other gases.

INSTALLING FITTING INTO SAE OR MS STRAIGHT PARALEL THREAD PORTS

Hydraulic equipment often uses SAE/MS straight thread ports instead of pipe threads. Such ports require a tube fitting using an O-ring seal. A wide variety of tube fittings, adapters, reducers, readily available in steel and stainless steel materials with SAE/MS straight threads.
Male SAE/MS Connector Straight fittings have an O-ring which is directly driven into the taper port to make a seal

Similar with SAE thread, metric thread on male connector also have O-ring as seal between fitting thread and port hole. and many are found for example in hydraulic systems and have a parallel thread type.

Fitting with ISO Parallel Thread also has a parallel thread type, meanwhile as a seal using a gasket or not using an O-ring. The gasket become seal between Thread fitting and hole of equipment.

JIC Thread have standard Unified SAE.

Flaring Operation Tube flaring system is carried out in two different ways, firstly single wall flare on thick wall tubes and secondly double wall flare on thin wall tubes to reinforce same.

Tapered thread

Tapered thread connector have thread is NPT or BSPT, have application in instrumentation or air line systems. NPT is standard of B1.20.1. Pipe Thread Sealants should always be use when assembling tapered threads. Anaerobic pipe thread sealant and PTFE tape are available. Refer to Leak Detectors, Lubricants, and Sealants.

Welding type end connection of Male connector certainly must have quality machining of all ports to ensures consistent welding. The working pressures are base on ANSI/ASME B31.3 at ambient temperature, to determine working pressures in accordance with ANSI/ASME B31.1, multiply the working pressures by 0.94.
