Overview
The MC Series Double Ferrule Male Connector provides a straight connection between fractional or metric tubing and a female threaded port. The tube end uses a double ferrule tube connection for mechanical gripping and sealing, while the male end connects to valves, manifolds, instruments and other fluid-system components.
Multiple tube sizes and male-end configurations are available for instrumentation, process control, sampling, testing and other industrial fluid systems.
Key Features
- Double ferrule tube connection for mechanical gripping and sealing
- Straight tube-to-male-end configuration
- Fractional and metric tube-size options
- Multiple male thread and end-connection configurations
- 316 stainless steel as the standard material
- Special-alloy options for project requirements
- Broad size combinations for instrumentation and industrial fluid systems

Connection & Size Options
MC Series Male Connectors are available for both fractional and metric tubing with multiple male-end configurations.
Common male-end configurations include:
• Fractional or Metric Tube × NPT Male Thread
• Fractional or Metric Tube × ISO/BSP Tapered Male Thread
• Fractional or Metric Tube × ISO/BSP Parallel Male Thread
• Fractional or Metric Tube × SAE/MS Straight Thread
• Fractional Tube × 37° Flared Connection
• Fractional or Metric Tube × Metric Male Thread
Select the tube O.D., male-end type and connection size required for the application. Available combinations vary by configuration.
Size & Configuration Information
Male Connectors are available in multiple fractional and metric tube sizes with a range of male-end connections.
Configuration-specific ordering numbers and dimensional data are available based on the required tube O.D., connection type and connection size.
For exact product matching, dimensional information or replacement requirements, send the required specification or an existing part number for review.
Materials
316 stainless steel is the standard material for this series.
For corrosive or special-service requirements, Monel 400, Inconel 625, Super Duplex 2507 and other special alloys are available for applicable project configurations.
Specify the required material grade together with the tube size, end connection and quantity when requesting a quotation.
Pressure & Temperature Considerations
Allowable working pressure depends on the complete tube-fitting system rather than the Male Connector body alone. Relevant factors include tubing material, tube O.D., wall thickness, operating temperature and the selected end connection.
The pressure capability of the lowest-rated component or connection should be considered when determining the allowable system working pressure.
For pressure- or temperature-sensitive applications, provide the tubing specification, material, connection size, operating pressure and operating temperature for review.
Typical Applications
Double Ferrule Male Connectors are commonly used for:
- Pressure and flow measurement connections
- Valve and manifold connections
- Sampling and test systems
- Process-control tubing
- Hydraulic and industrial fluid systems
Selection & Ordering Information
To specify the required Male Connector, provide:
- Tube O.D. — fractional or metric
- Male-end connection type
- Thread or connection size
- Material
- Operating pressure and temperature
- Quantity
Existing part numbers, drawings, specifications or product references can also be used for product matching and quotation review.
