Parker 68PLP-10M-8G Push-to-connect Male Connector Fitting

Product Description

The PARKER 68PLP-10M-8G is a straight push-to-connect male connector fitting designed to join 10mm OD tubing to a male BSPP threaded port. Constructed from nickel-plated brass with a silicone-free grease lubrication, it is rated for a maximum working pressure of 300 psi and a temperature range of 0 to 200 degrees F. The fitting features a silver body with a yellow push-release button for quick tube insertion and removal without tools. It meets the UL94 V-0 flame resistance standard, making it suitable for demanding pneumatic and fluid control applications. Licensed tradespeople and industrial maintenance technicians are the primary installers of this fitting.

This fitting is used in pneumatic tubing systems, fluid transfer lines, and instrumentation plumbing where a reliable tube-to-male-thread connection is required. The BSPP thread type makes it appropriate for systems following British Standard pipe conventions, commonly found in imported machinery, OEM equipment, and industrial automation installations. The 10mm tube OD size is standard in metric pneumatic circuits. It is suited for both light industrial and commercial environments where a compact, straight inline connection is needed.

Compatibility

Designed for use with 10mm outside diameter tubing and BSPP male threaded ports in pneumatic and fluid control systems. Verify thread standard and tube OD before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, or industrial maintenance technicians. Before servicing any pressurized line, depressurize the system completely and isolate the relevant circuit. Ensure the tube end is cut cleanly and squarely and is free of burrs before inserting into the fitting. Confirm that the thread type of the mating port is BSPP before applying thread sealant and torquing to the port.
