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

Product Description

The PARKER 68PLPR-5/32-0 is a round body male connector fitting that joins push-to-connect tubing to a male NPTF threaded port. Built from nickel-plated brass, it accepts 5/32 inch OD tubing on one end and a 10-32 NPTF male thread on the other, providing a reliable inline connection in pneumatic or instrumentation plumbing circuits. It is rated to 300 psi maximum working pressure and handles temperatures from 0 to 200 degrees F. The push-to-connect mechanism allows fast, tool-free tube insertion, reducing assembly time in tight panel or equipment installations. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and instrumentation mechanics typically install this fitting.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial pneumatic control systems, instrumentation lines, and small-bore fluid-handling circuits where a compact male-threaded port connection to push-in tubing is required. The black push-button release is made from flame-resistant material that meets the UL94 V-0 flammability standard, making it appropriate for use near heat-generating equipment. Overall length is 0.91 inches, keeping the assembly profile tight in confined spaces.

Key Features

• Push-to-connect design allows tool-free tube insertion and positive locking with 5/32 inch OD tubing
• 10-32 NPTF male thread provides a pressure-tight tapered thread connection
• Nickel-plated brass construction resists corrosion and wear in pneumatic service
• Rated to 300 psi maximum working pressure
• Operating temperature range from 0 to 200 degrees F
• Black push-button release meets UL94 V-0 flame-resistant material standard

Compatibility

Designed for use with 5/32 inch OD push-to-connect tubing in pneumatic control and instrumentation plumbing systems requiring a 10-32 NPTF male threaded port connection.

Installation Notes

Shut off and bleed system pressure completely before removing or installing any push-to-connect fitting. Ensure tubing is cut cleanly and squarely with no burrs before inserting into the fitting body; ragged cuts can compromise the internal seal and reduce rated pressure performance. Thread engagement should be made by hand first to avoid cross-threading the 10-32 NPTF connection. Verify the installed assembly holds rated pressure with a leak test before returning the system to service.
