Parker's FC Series Nipples provide connect-under-pressure capability with up to 3000 PSI of trapped pressure in the nipple.  FC Series nipples connect with Parker's FF series couplers and are ideal for applications where residual pressure makes reconnection difficult. The flush face design eliminates hydraulic spillage and air inclusion when connecting and disconnecting.  Anti-blowout seal in the nipple prevents damage and premature failure.  Nipple bodies are steel with zinc and clear trivalent chromate plating (hexachromium free).

Available in body sizes 3/8" through 3/4" with female pipe thread (NPSF), and female straight thread (ORB) as standard end configurations.

To connect with no pressure in the FF coupler and up to 3000 PSI of trapped pressure in the FC nipple:

1. Begin the push-to-connect motion
2. Delay momentarily during connection to allow trapped pressure to equalize with the coupler half
3. Complete the connection
