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

Product Description

The PARKER 172PLP-6M-6G is a push-to-connect swivel male branch tee fitting designed for tube-to-tube-to-male pneumatic or fluid connections. Constructed from nickel-plated brass with a silicone-free grease finish, it accepts 6mm outside diameter tubing on both tube ports and terminates in a BSPP male thread. The fitting is rated to 300 psi maximum working pressure and operates across a temperature range of 0 degrees F to 200 degrees F. The yellow release button allows for fast, tool-free tube insertion and removal. HVAC technicians, plumbers, and industrial fluid-system technicians install this fitting in applications where a branch connection is needed off a main line run.

This fitting suits pneumatic control systems, refrigeration ancillary circuits, compressed air distribution, and fluid-transfer lines where push-to-connect convenience is required. The swivel male branch tee configuration allows the male-threaded port to be oriented independently of the tube runs, reducing stress on mating threads and simplifying routing in tight spaces. Typical installations include control panel pneumatics, HVAC zone control tubing, and light industrial fluid-distribution manifolds where 6mm tubing is standard.

Key Features

• Push-to-connect tube ports accept 6mm OD tubing without tools for fast assembly and field servicing
• Swivel male branch tee configuration allows independent orientation of the threaded port
• Nickel-plated brass body provides corrosion resistance for use in air and compatible fluid systems
• Rated to 300 psi maximum working pressure
• Operating temperature range of 0 degrees F to 200 degrees F
• Silicone-free grease meets UL94 V-0 flame resistance standard requirements
• Yellow release button coloring provides quick visual identification and easy tube release

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style push-to-connect fitting for pneumatic and fluid-transfer systems using 6mm OD tubing with BSPP male thread connections rated to 300 psi.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by plumbers, pipefitters, or HVAC technicians working on pneumatic or compatible fluid-distribution systems. Depressurize and isolate the system completely before removing or installing any fitting. Ensure tubing is cut cleanly and squarely and that the tube end is free of burrs before insertion into the push-to-connect port. Verify that the thread type of the mating port is BSPP before assembly, as mixing thread standards can cause leaks or fitting damage.
