Parker 172PLP-6M-2G Swivel Male Branch Tee 6mm Bspp

Product Description

The PARKER 172PLP-6M-2G is a push-to-connect swivel male branch tee fitting designed for pneumatic and fluid tubing systems. It joins two push-to-connect tube ports with a male BSPP threaded branch, allowing a tee connection without tools on the tube side. Constructed from nickel-plated brass with a silicone-free grease lubricant and a UL94 V-0 rated release button, this fitting handles working pressures up to 300 psi across a temperature range of 0 to 200 degrees F. Licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and industrial piping professionals install this fitting in compressed air, pneumatic control, and fluid distribution lines.

This fitting is suited for residential and commercial pneumatic or fluid piping applications where a branch connection is needed at a male-threaded port. The 6mm outside diameter push-to-connect ports accept 6mm OD tubing on two ends, while the swivel male branch allows repositioning during assembly for easier alignment. Typical install scenarios include pneumatic control panels, compressed air distribution manifolds, and instrumentation lines requiring compact, tool-free tube connections.

Key Features

• Push-to-connect tube ports accept 6mm OD tubing with no tools required
• Swivel male branch allows rotational adjustment during assembly for easier alignment
• Nickel-plated brass body with silver finish and yellow release button for quick tube removal
• Rated to 300 psi maximum working pressure
• Silicone-free grease lubricant meets requirements for sensitive pneumatic environments

Compatibility

Designed for use with 6mm outside diameter tubing on push-to-connect ports and BSPP male thread on the branch connection. Suitable as an OEM-style replacement or new installation component in pneumatic and fluid distribution systems requiring a swivel male branch tee configuration.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, or qualified industrial piping professionals. Depressurize and isolate the line completely before disconnecting or installing any fittings. Ensure tubing is cut squarely and deburred before insertion into push-to-connect ports to maintain a proper seal. Verify thread type compatibility before engaging the BSPP male branch to avoid cross-threading or leaks.
