Parker 172PLP-10M-6G Swivel Male Branch Tee 300 Psi

Product Description

The PARKER 172PLP-10M-6G is a push-to-connect swivel male branch tee fitting designed for pneumatic and fluid tubing systems. It connects tube-to-tube-to-male in a branch tee configuration, allowing a single inline connection point to split or join a tubing run with a male BSPP threaded outlet. The fitting is constructed from nickel-plated brass with a silver finish and yellow release button, rated to 300 psi maximum working pressure. Operating temperature range spans 0 degrees F to 200 degrees F. Installers in HVAC, pneumatics, instrumentation, and plumbing applications will encounter this fitting in light commercial and industrial tubing assemblies.

This fitting suits applications where a branch connection is needed on a 10 mm outside diameter tube line with a 3/8 inch BSPP male thread port. Typical install scenarios include pneumatic control lines, compressed air distribution, fluid transfer systems, and instrumentation tubing where quick, tool-free tube connections are required. The swivel male thread feature allows the fitting to be oriented during installation without twisting the connected tubing. The UL94 V-0 flame resistance rating and silicone-free grease make it compatible with environments where silicone contamination is a concern, such as paint booths or certain sensor assemblies.

Compatibility

Designed for use with 10 mm outside diameter tubing and 3/8 inch BSPP male threaded ports in pneumatic and fluid handling systems requiring push-to-connect branch tee fittings.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with pneumatic or fluid tubing systems. Depressurize and isolate the line completely before removing or installing any fitting. Ensure tubing is cut cleanly and squarely and is free of burrs before inserting into the push-to-connect port to achieve a proper seal. Verify thread type compatibility — this fitting uses BSPP threads, which are not interchangeable with NPT threads without appropriate adapters.
