Parker 172PLP-10M-8G Swivel Male Branch Tee 10mm 300 Psi

Product Description

The PARKER 172PLP-10M-8G is a push-to-connect swivel male branch tee fitting designed for pneumatic and fluid tubing systems. It accepts 10mm outside diameter tubing on two ports and terminates with a male BSPP threaded connection on the branch port. The fitting body is nickel-plated brass, rated for a maximum working pressure of 300 psi and a working temperature range of 0 to 200 degrees F. The silver finish with a yellow release button allows for quick, tool-free tube insertion and removal. Plumbers, pipefitters, and pneumatic system technicians install this fitting in compressed air, water, and compatible fluid lines where a branch takeoff is required at a threaded port.

This fitting suits residential and light commercial pneumatic systems, process equipment, and instrumentation plumbing where 10mm OD tubing connects to a BSPP-threaded male port. The swivel design on the male thread allows the fitting to be oriented without rotating the tubing, simplifying installation in tight or awkward locations. It is silicone-free, making it compatible with applications that require silicone-free grease and materials meeting the UL94 V-0 flame resistance standard.

Compatibility

Designed for use with 10mm outside diameter tubing in push-to-connect pneumatic and fluid systems utilizing BSPP male threaded ports. Verify thread standard and tubing OD before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified plumber, pipefitter, or pneumatic systems technician. Depressurize and isolate the system completely before disconnecting or installing any fitting. Ensure the tubing end is cut square, deburred, and fully seated past the collet before pressurizing. Confirm BSPP thread compatibility at the mating port, as BSPP is not interchangeable with NPT or other thread standards without proper adapters.
