Parker 171PLP-8M-4G Swivel Male Run Tee 8mm 300 Psi

Product Description

The PARKER 171PLP-8M-4G is a push-to-connect swivel male run tee fitting designed for pneumatic and fluid tubing systems. It connects tube-to-tube-to-male in a run tee configuration, allowing a branch takeoff while maintaining straight-line flow. Built from nickel-plated brass, it handles a maximum working pressure of 300 psi and operates across a temperature range of 0 degrees F to 200 degrees F. The silver body features a yellow release button for quick tube removal without tools. It is silicone-free, meeting the UL94 V-0 flame resistance standard. HVAC technicians, pneumatic system installers, and industrial maintenance trades install this fitting in compressed air, gas, and fluid distribution lines.

This fitting is suited for applications requiring a compact tee connection with a swivel male port, particularly where tubing routing or panel alignment demands rotational adjustment at the male thread. The BSPP thread type makes it compatible with British Standard Parallel Pipe threaded ports. With an 8mm tube outside diameter and a 3/4-inch hex size for wrench engagement on the swivel, it fits typical small-bore pneumatic and instrument tubing runs found in residential and light commercial HVAC controls, refrigeration systems, and process equipment. The yellow release button collar identifies this as a standard push-to-connect configuration.

Key Features

• Push-to-connect design with yellow release button for tool-free tube insertion and removal
• Nickel-plated brass construction for corrosion resistance in pneumatic and fluid service
• 300 psi maximum working pressure rating
• Operating temperature range: 0 degrees F to 200 degrees F
• Silicone-free grease — compatible with silicone-sensitive systems
• UL94 V-0 flame resistance standard compliance
• BSPP swivel male thread for rotational alignment during installation

Compatibility

Designed for use with 8mm outside diameter tubing in push-to-connect pneumatic and fluid systems using BSPP male port connections. Verify thread type and tube OD against system specifications before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed HVAC technicians, pneumatic system mechanics, or qualified maintenance trades. De-pressurize and isolate the system before removing or installing any fittings. Engage the BSPP male thread by hand first to avoid cross-threading, then torque with a wrench on the hex flat — do not grip the fitting body. Confirm tube is cut square and fully seated past the collet before pressurizing the system.
