Parker 68PLP-6M-6G Push-to-connect Male Connector 300 Psi

Product Description

The PARKER 68PLP-6M-6G is a push-to-connect tube-to-male straight connector designed for compressed air and pneumatic fluid lines. It accepts a 6 mm outside-diameter tube on the push-to-connect end and threads into a male BSPP port on the equipment side. The body is nickel-plated brass with a silicone-free grease lubricant and a yellow polypropylene release button rated to UL94 V-0 flame resistance. Rated to 300 psi maximum working pressure with a temperature range of 0 to 200 degrees F, this fitting is appropriate for industrial pneumatic systems, HVAC control air lines, and light fluid handling circuits. A licensed plumber, HVAC tech, or industrial pipefitter would typically install this part.

This connector is suited for straight inline connections where a 6 mm OD tube must terminate at a male BSPP threaded port. Common applications include pneumatic control panels, compressed air distribution manifolds, and equipment with BSPP-ported valve bodies. The push-to-connect design allows fast, tool-free tube insertion while the yellow release button enables tube removal without damaging the fitting body. The nickel-plated brass construction resists corrosion in moist or lightly aggressive service environments.

Compatibility

Designed for use with 6 mm outside-diameter tubing on push-to-connect pneumatic and fluid handling systems equipped with BSPP-ported connections.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber, HVAC technician, or qualified industrial pipefitter. Depressurize and isolate the pneumatic or fluid line completely before removing or installing any fitting. Ensure the tube end is cut cleanly and squarely with no burrs before inserting into the push-to-connect port. Verify thread type compatibility — BSPP threads are not interchangeable with NPT threads — and apply appropriate thread sealant per the applicable plumbing or pneumatic code.
