Constructed from nickel-plated brass, this straight union-style fitting accepts 3\/8-inch outside-diameter tubing on each tube port and threads into a 3\/8-inch NPT male port. It carries a maximum working pressure rating of 435 psi, making it suitable for moderate-pressure liquid and gas lines. The FKM O-ring seat provides reliable sealing across a broad range of media. This fitting is commonly installed by licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and mechanical contractors during system assembly or service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis fitting is used in residential and commercial mechanical systems where a push-to-connect interface must transition to a threaded NPT male port. Typical applications include compressed air distribution, refrigerant-side instrumentation lines, gas pilot supply tubing, and general hydraulic or pneumatic control plumbing. It accepts both liquid and gas service, making it versatile across HVAC, refrigeration, and plumbing trade work. The push-to-connect design reduces assembly time in tight spaces where wrenching a compression fitting is impractical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePush-to-connect design allows tool-free tube insertion for faster assembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNickel-plated brass body resists corrosion in both liquid and gas service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRated to 435 psi maximum working pressure\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFKM O-ring provides a reliable seal compatible with a wide range of fluids and gases\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/8-inch OD tube ports with 3\/8-inch NPT male thread for direct pipe-thread interface\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDual tube ports with center male NPT connection — tube x MNPT x tube configuration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with 3\/8-inch outside-diameter tubing in liquid and gas service systems.

Ensure tubing ends are cut cleanly and deburred so the push-to-connect collet seats properly and the O-ring is not damaged on insertion. Thread the NPT male end into the female port using an appropriate sealant or thread tape per applicable plumbing or mechanical codes. To release tubing, depress the collet ring evenly while pulling the tube straight out — do not pull at an angle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tube x MNPT x Tube x Male\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTube Outside Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inches NPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: NPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Working Pressure\u003c\/strong\u003e: 435 psi\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Nickel-Plated Brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eO-Ring Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: FKM\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFor Use With\u003c\/strong\u003e: Liquid and Gas\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Order Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: PARKER\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 36096018\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PARKER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51539256934706,"sku":"36096018","price":138.06,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/558f7f02ebd3be189261f9f01ad2870c.jpg?v=1785837292","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/parker-36096018-push-to-connect-tube-fitting-3-8-in-npt","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
