Parker 171PLP-6M-4G Swivel Male Run Tee 6mm Bspp 300 Psi

Product Description

The PARKER 171PLP-6M-4G is a push-to-connect swivel male run tee fitting designed for pneumatic and fluid tubing systems. It connects two inline tube runs to a male BSPP branch port, allowing quick, tool-free tube insertion on the straight-through ports while the swivel male thread simplifies alignment during installation. Constructed from nickel-plated brass with a UL94 V-0 flame-resistant, silicone-free grease lubrication, this fitting handles working pressures up to 300 psi and temperatures from 0 degrees F to 200 degrees F. The silver body with yellow release button is standard Parker push-to-connect styling, making port identification straightforward during service.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial HVAC, refrigeration controls, pneumatic instrumentation, and compressed-air distribution lines where a 6mm OD tube must tee into a BSPP male-threaded port. Typical installations include tubing manifolds, control panel pneumatics, and equipment where tubing must be routed in-line while also supplying a tapped port. Licensed HVAC technicians, pipefitters, and instrumentation technicians are the primary installers. The BSPP thread type makes this fitting common in equipment with European or metric threading standards.

Key Features

• Push-to-connect on both inline tube ports — no ferrules, sleeves, or tools needed for tube insertion
• Swivel male BSPP thread allows rotation during makeup to ease alignment without stressing tubing
• Nickel-plated brass construction resists corrosion in damp and condensate-prone environments
• Rated to 300 psi maximum working pressure
• UL94 V-0 flame resistance rating and silicone-free grease formulation
• Operating range of 0 degrees F to 200 degrees F covers most HVAC and pneumatic control applications

Compatibility

Designed for use with 6mm OD push-to-connect tubing on the tube ports and a BSPP male-threaded port connection. Suitable as an OEM-style or replacement fitting in pneumatic control and compressed-air systems that use 6mm metric tubing and BSPP threaded ports.

Installation Notes

Shut off and depressurize the system fully before removing or installing any push-to-connect fitting. Inspect tube ends for clean, square cuts and remove burrs before insertion to ensure a proper seal. Thread the BSPP male port connection to the appropriate torque for brass fittings per the equipment manufacturer's specifications and applicable plumbing or pneumatic system codes. To release tubes, depress the yellow collar and pull the tube straight out — do not twist or pull at an angle.
