Parker 68PLP-12M-8G Push-to-connect Male Connector Fitting

Product Description

The PARKER 68PLP-12M-8G is a straight push-to-connect male connector fitting designed to join 12mm OD tubing to a male BSPP threaded port. Constructed from nickel-plated brass, it handles working pressures up to 300 psi and operates across a temperature range of 0 to 200 degrees F. The fitting uses a push-to-connect mechanism with a yellow release button for fast, tool-free tube insertion and secure retention. It is silicone-free and meets the UL94 V-0 flame resistance standard, making it suitable for installations where those material requirements apply. Licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and industrial service professionals install this type of fitting.

This fitting is used in pneumatic and fluid conveyance systems where a 12mm OD tube must terminate at a male BSPP threaded port. Typical applications include compressed air lines, instrumentation tubing, and light hydraulic or fluid control circuits in both commercial and industrial environments. The straight configuration suits inline connections where no directional change is needed. The nickel-plated brass construction provides corrosion resistance for use in moderate-duty service conditions.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified industrial service technicians. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before removing or installing any push-to-connect fitting. Verify that the tube end is cut cleanly and squarely with no burrs before inserting it into the fitting to ensure a proper seal. To release the tube, depress the yellow collar while pulling the tube free.
