Parker 172PLP-12M-6G Swivel Male Branch Tee 12mm 300 Psi

Product Description

The PARKER 172PLP-12M-6G is a push-to-connect swivel male branch tee fitting designed for tube-to-tube-to-male pneumatic and fluid line connections. Constructed from nickel-plated brass, this fitting accepts 12 mm outside diameter tubing on both tube ports and provides a BSPP male thread on the branch port. It is rated to 300 psi maximum working pressure and handles temperatures from 0 degrees F to 200 degrees F. The silver body with yellow release button is finished with silicone-free grease and meets the UL94 V-0 flame resistance standard. Licensed HVAC technicians, plumbers, and industrial maintenance technicians install this fitting in compressed air, pneumatic control, and fluid transfer systems.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial pneumatic plumbing applications where a push-to-connect branch tee simplifies routing without additional tools. The swivel male branch feature allows the fitting to rotate for alignment during installation, reducing stress on connected tubing. It is commonly used in HVAC pneumatic control circuits, compressed air distribution, and similar low-to-medium pressure fluid systems requiring a reliable inline branch connection with quick tube insertion and release.

Key Features

• Push-to-connect design accepts 12 mm OD tubing on both tube ports for tool-free tube insertion
• Swivel male branch port allows rotation for alignment without loosening the connection
• Nickel-plated brass construction provides corrosion resistance in wet and pneumatic environments
• Rated to 300 psi maximum working pressure
• Operating temperature range from 0 degrees F to 200 degrees F
• Silicone-free grease and UL94 V-0 flame resistance compliance for sensitive control environments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style push-to-connect branch tee for pneumatic and fluid systems using 12 mm OD tubing with BSPP male thread branch connections.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed HVAC technicians or plumbers. Depressurize and isolate the line completely before removing any existing fitting or inserting tubing into this fitting. Ensure tubing ends are cut square and deburred before insertion to achieve a proper seal. Verify that the connected system operates within the rated pressure and temperature limits of this fitting before returning to service.
