Parker 68PLP-4-4G Push-to-connect Male Connector 1/4 in

Product Description

The PARKER 68PLP-4-4G is a straight push-to-connect male connector designed for tube-to-male tube connections in compressed air, pneumatic, and fluid distribution systems. Constructed from nickel-plated brass, this fitting accepts 1/4-inch OD tubing and connects to a 1/4-inch BSPP male thread. It is rated for a maximum working pressure of 300 psi and handles temperatures from 0 degrees F to 200 degrees F. The release button is made from black flame-resistant material that meets the UL 94 V-0 standard, making it appropriate for installations where ignition resistance is required. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians install this fitting in industrial and commercial fluid and air line assemblies.

This connector is suited for use in pneumatic control lines, instrumentation plumbing, and general-purpose compressed air distribution. The push-to-connect design allows for fast, tool-free tube insertion while the green-accented release collar enables quick disconnection without damaging the tubing. It is a practical choice for both new installations and maintenance work on existing compressed air or fluid systems requiring BSPP-threaded ports and 1/4-inch OD tubing.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed pipefitters, plumbers, or HVAC technicians. Depressurize and drain the system completely before removing or installing any fittings. Ensure the mating BSPP thread is clean and free of debris before engaging the connector; apply appropriate thread sealant per the system fluid type and applicable codes. To release tubing, press the collar firmly before withdrawing the tube to avoid deforming the tubing end.
