Parker 362PTC-6 Union Y Tube Fitting 3/8 Inch Od

Product Description

The PARKER 362PTC-6 is a push-to-connect union Y tube fitting designed for tube-to-tube connections in fluid and pneumatic systems. Constructed from composite material, this fitting accepts 3/8 inch OD tubing on all three ports and is rated to 250 psi. The push-to-connect design allows for tool-free tube insertion, making installation and field modifications fast and reliable. Nitrile o-rings provide a secure, leak-resistant seal compatible with a broad range of fluids and gases. This fitting is typically installed by plumbers, HVAC technicians, and industrial maintenance trades working on pneumatic controls, fluid distribution, or similar piping applications.

The 362PTC-6 is suited for residential and light commercial applications where a three-way branch connection is needed in a push-to-connect tube system. Common installation scenarios include pneumatic control lines, fluid transfer manifolds, and instrumentation tubing runs where quick, repeatable connections are required. All three ports accept 3/8 inch OD tubing, making this a symmetric union configuration with no directional flow restriction inherent to the fitting body.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style push-to-connect replacement fitting for systems using 3/8 inch OD tubing in pneumatic or fluid distribution applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by plumbers, HVAC technicians, or qualified industrial maintenance personnel. Before servicing, depressurize and isolate the line completely. Ensure tubing ends are cut square and deburred before insertion to achieve a proper seal. Verify that the tubing OD matches the fitting specification and that the system fluid and pressure rating are within the limits of this fitting before returning the system to service.
