Parker 68PLP-6-6G Push-to-connect Male Connector 3/8 in

Product Description

The PARKER 68PLP-6-6G is a push-to-connect male connector fitting designed for straight tube-to-male connections in fluid and pneumatic systems. Built from nickel-plated brass, it accepts 3/8 inch OD tubing and threads into a 3/8 inch BSPP male port. The fitting is rated to 300 psi maximum working pressure and handles temperatures from 0 degrees F to 200 degrees F. The green release button is made from black flame-resistant material that meets the UL94 V-0 flammability standard. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and industrial maintenance professionals install this type of fitting where quick, tool-free tube connections are needed in moderate-pressure systems.

This fitting suits residential and light commercial applications where BSPP-threaded ports are used alongside push-to-connect tubing runs. Typical install scenarios include compressed air lines, water supply connections, and pneumatic control circuits. The straight male connector configuration makes it a direct interface between a threaded port and a push-in tube run, reducing the need for additional adapters or compression hardware in the assembly.

Key Features

• Push-to-connect design allows tool-free tube insertion and release
• Nickel-plated brass body for corrosion resistance in wet and air service
• Rated to 300 psi maximum working pressure
• Operating temperature range of 0 degrees F to 200 degrees F

Compatibility

Designed for use with 3/8 inch OD tubing and 3/8 inch BSPP male-threaded ports in push-to-connect pneumatic and fluid plumbing assemblies.

Installation Notes

Depressurize and isolate the system before removing or installing any push-to-connect fitting. Confirm the tubing OD and thread type match the fitting specifications before installation. Tube ends should be cut square and deburred to ensure a reliable seal and full engagement in the collet. BSPP threads are parallel and require a sealing method such as thread sealant tape or a bonded seal washer at the threaded joint.
