Parker 68PLP-6M-M5 Push-to-connect Male Connector 6mm

Product Description

The PARKER 68PLP-6M-M5 is a straight push-to-connect male connector fitting designed for tube-to-male tube connections in pneumatic and fluid control systems. Constructed from nickel-plated brass, it accepts 6mm OD tubing on one end and threads into a male M5 x 0.8 port on the other. The fitting is rated to 300 psi maximum working pressure and handles temperatures from 0 degrees F to 200 degrees F. Installation requires no tools on the tube side — push the tube in to connect, press the yellow release button to disconnect. Lubricated with silicone-free grease and compliant with the UL94 V-0 flame resistance standard, this fitting suits instrument air, light pneumatic control, and automation line work.

This fitting is appropriate for residential and commercial pneumatic control systems, automation panels, and light-duty fluid-handling circuits where a compact M5-threaded port connection is required. It is commonly installed by HVAC controls technicians, automation technicians, and instrumentation specialists routing 6mm OD tubing to solenoid valves, sensors, manifolds, or other threaded components. The push-to-connect design speeds up field assembly and simplifies maintenance access when lines need to be broken and remade quickly.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style push-to-connect fitting for pneumatic and fluid control systems using 6mm OD tubing with M5 x 0.8 male threaded ports.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified HVAC controls technician, automation technician, or instrumentation specialist. De-energize and depressurize the system fully before removing or installing any fittings. Ensure tubing is cut cleanly and squarely and that the OD is free of burrs before inserting into the push-to-connect end. Verify thread engagement on the M5 x 0.8 port before pressurizing the system.
