Parker 172PLP-8M-4G Swivel Male Branch Tee 8mm 300 Psi

Product Description

The PARKER 172PLP-8M-4G is a push-to-connect swivel male branch tee fitting designed for pneumatic and fluid tubing systems. It accepts 8mm outside-diameter tubing on both inline ports and terminates with a BSPP male thread on the branch port. Constructed from nickel-plated brass with a silicone-free grease lubricant, it is rated to 300 psi maximum working pressure and handles temperatures from 0 degrees F to 200 degrees F. The yellow release button allows fast, tool-free tube insertion and removal. The fitting meets the UL94 V-0 flame resistance standard. Licensed trades and industrial maintenance technicians use this type of fitting when building or servicing compressed-air or low-pressure fluid distribution circuits.

This fitting is suited for residential and commercial pneumatic control circuits, HVAC pneumatic actuator lines, and light industrial fluid-handling assemblies where 8mm OD tubing is routed to a branch connection with a male BSPP threaded port. The swivel branch design allows the threaded male port to be oriented during installation without twisting the tubing runs. It is a single-piece, ready-to-install component sold individually.

Compatibility

Designed for use with 8mm outside-diameter push-to-connect compatible tubing in pneumatic and low-pressure fluid systems requiring a BSPP male branch tee configuration.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, or qualified HVAC technicians. Depressurize and isolate the circuit completely before servicing any fitting. Ensure tubing ends are cut square and deburred before inserting into the push-to-connect ports to achieve a proper seal. Thread the male BSPP branch port into the mating female port using appropriate thread sealant per the system manufacturer and applicable codes before locking tubing into the inline ports.
