Parker 68PLP-5/32-0 Push-to-connect Male Connector

Product Description

The PARKER 68PLP-5/32-0 is a push-to-connect male connector fitting designed for tube-to-male UNF plumbing connections in pneumatic and fluid-transfer systems. It accepts 5/32 inch OD tubing on one end and threads into a 10-32 UNF port on the other, providing a tool-free tube connection with a rated working pressure of 300 psi. The body is nickel-plated brass for corrosion resistance and durability. The integrated push-to-connect button is made from black flame-resistant material rated to UL94 V-0, and the internal O-ring is nitrile, suited for a wide range of media. This fitting is installed by HVAC technicians, pneumatic system assemblers, and industrial service technicians.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial pneumatic control lines, instrumentation tubing runs, and low-volume fluid circuits operating within the rated temperature range of 0 degrees F to 200 degrees F. It is commonly used in control panel plumbing, HVAC pneumatic controls, and equipment where a compact inline male connector is required. At 0.9 inches in overall length, it fits in tight installation spaces without adapters or additional hardware.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style push-to-connect male connector for pneumatic and fluid-transfer systems using 5/32 inch OD tubing and 10-32 UNF threaded ports.

Installation Notes

Depressurize and isolate the pneumatic or fluid circuit completely before servicing any fittings. Ensure tubing is cut cleanly and squarely, and that the OD is free of burrs before inserting into the push-to-connect collet. Thread engagement should be snug and leak-tested at operating pressure before returning the system to service. This fitting is typically installed by licensed HVAC technicians or pneumatic system technicians following applicable system codes and manufacturer guidelines.
