Parker 362PTC-4 Push-to-connect Union Y 1/4 Inch Od

Product Description

The PARKER 362PTC-4 is a push-to-connect union Y tube fitting designed for tube-to-tube connections in pneumatic and fluid-handling systems. Built from composite construction with a nitrile O-ring seal, this fitting accepts 1/4 inch OD tubing on all three ports and delivers a rated working pressure of 250 psi. Installation requires no tools for tube insertion — tubing seats and locks into the fitting body in a single push. The 362PTC-4 is well suited for applications where a single line must branch into two, or where two lines merge into one, without the need for soldered or compression-type connections.

This fitting is used in pneumatic plumbing, light fluid distribution, and instrumentation tubing runs in both residential and light commercial settings. Typical install scenarios include compressed-air branch lines, control tubing manifolds, and low-pressure fluid circuits where quick-connect serviceability is preferred. The composite body keeps weight low and resists corrosion in environments where metal fittings would be subject to oxidation or chemical attack.

Key Features

• Push-to-connect design allows tool-free tube insertion for fast assembly and disassembly
• Union Y configuration splits or combines flow across three 1/4 inch OD ports
• Rated to 250 psi working pressure
• Composite body construction for corrosion resistance and reduced weight
• Nitrile O-ring seals provide reliable performance across a broad range of fluids and gases

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style and aftermarket replacement push-to-connect union Y fitting for systems using 1/4 inch OD tubing in pneumatic or low-pressure fluid applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by plumbers, pipefitters, or pneumatic system technicians. Depressurize and isolate the system completely before removing or installing any fittings. Ensure tubing ends are cut square and deburred before insertion to achieve a proper seal. To release tubing, depress the collet ring before pulling the tube free — never pull tubing without first releasing the collet, as this can damage the fitting body or the O-ring seat.
