Parker 38210814 Push-to-connect Tube Fitting 1/4 Npt

Product Description

The PARKER 38210814 is a push-to-connect tube fitting with a male NPT thread configuration, designed for inline tube-to-tube connections with a threaded male port. Built from stainless steel, this fitting handles working pressures up to 435 psi, making it suitable for demanding fluid and pneumatic system applications. The push-to-connect design allows for fast, tool-free tube insertion while the male NPT end threads directly into a mating female port. It is commonly installed by HVAC technicians, plumbers, and pipefitters working on refrigerant lines, compressed air systems, or fluid transfer systems that require reliable, leak-resistant connections.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial applications where stainless steel corrosion resistance is required. The tube outside diameter is 8.00 mm, and the threaded end is a 1/4 inch NPT male connection. It is packaged in a quantity of two per package, making it convenient for jobs that require paired connections or a spare on hand. Typical install scenarios include instrumentation lines, pneumatic controls, and process piping where push-to-connect speed is valued alongside threaded port compatibility.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for systems using 8.00 mm outside diameter tubing with 1/4 inch NPT male ported components in pneumatic, fluid, or HVAC control line applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed HVAC technicians, plumbers, or pipefitters. Before servicing any line, depressurize and isolate the system fully. Ensure the tube end is cut cleanly and squarely and is free of burrs before inserting into the push-to-connect end. Thread connections should be made in accordance with applicable plumbing and mechanical codes, including NEC or IFGC references where relevant to the system type.
