Parker 68PLPR-2-0 Push-to-connect Male Connector

Product Description

The PARKER 68PLPR-2-0 is a round body male connector tube fitting designed for push-to-connect to male NPT applications in pneumatic and fluid control systems. It accepts 1/8 inch OD tubing on the push-to-connect end and connects to a 10-32 NPTF male thread on the port side. Constructed from nickel-plated brass, it handles pressures up to 300 psi and is rated for service from 0 degrees F to 200 degrees F. The black actuation button is made from flame-resistant material compliant with the UL94 V-0 standard. Licensed HVAC technicians, plumbers, and instrumentation technicians commonly install this fitting in pneumatic control lines, instrument tubing, and low-pressure fluid circuits.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial pneumatic tubing systems, instrument air lines, and control panel plumbing where a compact, reliable push-to-connect to NPT male transition is required. Its round body profile fits in tight installations where clearance around the fitting is limited. The NPTF thread form provides a pressure-tight mechanical seal without relying solely on thread sealant. Typical applications include control actuator supply lines, sensor port connections, and tubing manifolds in HVAC and process control equipment.

• Rated to 300 psi maximum working pressure
• Operating temperature range of 0 degrees F to 200 degrees F
• UL94 V-0 flame-resistant black actuation button

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement push-to-connect male connector for pneumatic tubing systems using 1/8 inch OD tubing and 10-32 NPTF male port connections.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed HVAC technicians or instrumentation mechanics. Depressurize and isolate the pneumatic or fluid circuit completely before removing or installing any fitting. Verify that tubing OD and thread size match the fitting specifications before assembly. Apply thread sealant to NPTF threads as required by the equipment manufacturer and applicable plumbing or instrumentation codes.
