Parker 68PLP-12M-6G Push-to-connect Male Connector Fitting

Product Description

The PARKER 68PLP-12M-6G is a straight push-to-connect male connector fitting designed for tube-to-male tube connections in pneumatic and fluid-handling systems. It accepts a 12mm outside diameter tube on the push-to-connect end and terminates in a BSPP male thread. The body is nickel-plated brass with a silicone-free grease, making it suitable for applications where silicone contamination is a concern. Rated to 300 psi maximum working pressure and a temperature range of 0 degrees F to 200 degrees F, this fitting is installed by HVAC technicians, plumbers, and industrial maintenance professionals working with metric push-to-connect pneumatic or fluid lines.

This fitting is used in residential and commercial applications where a straight, in-line connection between a metric push-to-connect tube and a BSPP male threaded port is required. Typical installation scenarios include pneumatic control lines, compressed air distribution, and fluid transfer systems. The UL94 V-0 flame resistance rating makes it appropriate for environments where fire resistance compliance is specified. The yellow release button allows for quick tube removal without tools during servicing or reconfiguration of the line.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified HVAC technician, plumber, or industrial maintenance professional. Depressurize and drain the system completely before removing or installing any fittings. Ensure the tube end is cut cleanly and squarely and that the tube outside diameter is within specification before inserting into the push-to-connect port. Verify thread engagement and confirm the system is leak-free before returning it to service.
