Parker 36166200 Push-to-connect Tube Fitting 1/2 in Od

Product Description

The PARKER 36166200 is a push-to-connect tube-to-tube fitting designed for quick, tool-free connections between two tube ends in fluid and gas handling systems. Constructed from nickel-plated brass with an FKM o-ring seal, it handles pressures up to 435 psi and is rated for use in demanding applications including food processing, medical equipment, automotive in-plant systems, and misting lines. This fitting is sold in a package quantity of 5 and carries a minimum order quantity of 1 package. Licensed trades and maintenance professionals install these fittings where fast, reliable tube connections are required without the need for soldering, flaring, or compression tools.

This fitting is suited for both light industrial and process environments where push-to-connect technology reduces installation time. Typical applications include food processing lines, coffee machine plumbing, in-plant automotive systems, medical equipment fluid circuits, printing systems, misting assemblies, and welding robot cooling or lubrication circuits. The FKM o-ring material makes it compatible with a range of fluid media where elastomer compatibility with oils, fuels, and certain chemicals is needed.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by plumbers, pipefitters, or qualified maintenance technicians. Depressurize and de-energize the system completely before servicing any fitting. Ensure tubing is cut cleanly and squarely and deburred before inserting into the fitting to achieve a proper seal. Follow all applicable piping codes and the manufacturer insert-depth requirements for the tube outside diameter being used.
