Parker 36060800 Push-to-connect Union Straight Fitting

Product Description

The PARKER 36060800 is a push-to-connect union straight tube fitting designed for tube-to-tube connections in fluid and gas conveyance systems. Constructed from nickel-plated brass with an FKM O-ring, it handles both liquid and gas service across a working temperature range of -13 degrees F to 302 degrees F and a maximum working pressure of 435 psi. Installation requires no tools — the push-to-connect design allows a technician to seat the tube with a single push and release with the collar. HVAC, refrigeration, and plumbing contractors use this fitting where a clean inline union connection is needed without threading or soldering.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial applications involving 5/16 inch OD tubing carrying liquid or gas media. Its compact overall length of 1.48 inches makes it practical in tight equipment enclosures or panel installations. The nickel-plated brass body resists corrosion in moderate-duty environments. It ships in a package quantity of five units, making it a practical bench or van-stock item for technicians who install or service fluid handling systems regularly.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style push-to-connect union for systems using 5/16 inch OD tubing carrying liquid or gas media, consistent with tube-to-tube inline union applications in HVAC, plumbing, and fluid conveyance assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by HVAC technicians, plumbers, or fluid system assemblers following applicable codes such as the IPC or IFGC. Before servicing any line, depressurize the system and isolate the section being fitted. Ensure tubing ends are cut cleanly and deburred before insertion to achieve a proper seal. Do not exceed the rated working pressure of 435 psi in service.
