Parker 62PLP-12M Push-to-connect Union Straight Fitting

Product Description

The PARKER 62PLP-12M is a push-to-connect union straight tube fitting designed for tube-to-tube connections in pneumatic and fluid-handling systems. Constructed from nickel-plated brass with a silver finish and yellow release button, it provides a rated maximum working pressure of 300 psi across a temperature range of 0 to 200 degrees F. The fitting accepts tubing with a 12mm outside diameter and connects inline without tools, making it a fast, reliable choice for technicians assembling or repairing pneumatic lines, instrumentation circuits, or light hydraulic runs. It meets the UL94 V-0 flame resistance standard and uses silicone-free grease, keeping it compatible with systems where silicone contamination is a concern.

This fitting is suited for residential and commercial applications wherever a straight inline union is needed to join two lengths of 12mm OD tubing. Typical install scenarios include compressed-air distribution lines, pneumatic control circuits, HVAC pneumatic actuator plumbing, and general fluid-handling runs that operate within the rated pressure and temperature limits. Its push-to-connect design speeds up field assembly and allows tubing to be released and reconnected by pressing the yellow collar.

Key Features

• Push-to-connect design — no tools required for tube insertion or release
• Nickel-plated brass body for corrosion resistance and durability
• Rated to 300 psi maximum working pressure
• Operating temperature range of 0 to 200 degrees F
• Silicone-free grease formulation — safe for silicone-sensitive systems
• Meets UL94 V-0 flame resistance standard

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style push-to-connect union fitting for systems using 12mm outside diameter tubing operating within 300 psi and 0 to 200 degrees F service conditions.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed mechanics, HVAC technicians, or instrumentation technicians working on pneumatic or fluid lines. Before servicing any line, depressurize the system fully and verify pressure is at zero before inserting or removing tubing. To release the tube, press the yellow collar fully inward while pulling the tubing straight out — angled pulls can damage the collet. Follow applicable codes such as NFPA and local mechanical codes for pneumatic and fluid-handling installations.
