Parker 68PLPR-6M-2G Push-to-connect Male Connector

Product Description

The PARKER 68PLPR-6M-2G is a straight push-to-connect male connector fitting designed to join a 6mm outside-diameter tube to a male BSPP threaded port in pneumatic and fluid handling systems. Constructed from nickel-plated brass with a silicone-free grease formulation, it is rated for up to 300 psi maximum working pressure across a service temperature range of 0 degrees F to 200 degrees F. The UL94 V-0 flame resistance rating meets common fire-safety requirements in industrial and commercial installations. HVAC technicians, plumbers, and industrial service professionals install this fitting where a clean, tool-free tube termination is required at a male-threaded port.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial HVAC systems, refrigeration support lines, pneumatic control circuits, and plumbing applications where 6mm OD tubing connects to a BSPP male port. The push-to-connect design allows fast field installation without ferrules or compression sleeves. The silver nickel-plated brass body resists corrosion in humid mechanical rooms and equipment pads. A yellow release button allows the tube to be removed and reconnected without tools, which is useful during staged commissioning or when servicing a control assembly.

Key Features

• Push-to-connect design accepts 6mm outside-diameter tubing without additional compression hardware
• Nickel-plated brass body offers corrosion resistance in damp or humid service environments
• Rated to 300 psi maximum working pressure for use in demanding pneumatic and fluid circuits
• BSPP male thread type for compatibility with metric-threaded ports common in imported equipment
• Yellow release button enables tool-free tube removal and reconnection during service calls
• UL94 V-0 flame resistance rating and silicone-free grease formulation meet strict installation standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style push-to-connect male connector for pneumatic control and fluid-handling systems that use 6mm OD tubing and BSPP male threaded ports.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed HVAC technicians, plumbers, or industrial mechanics. Always depressurize and isolate the line before removing or installing any push-to-connect fitting. Ensure the tube end is cut square and free of burrs before seating it fully into the fitting body to achieve a proper seal. Reference applicable sections of the IPC or IFGC and equipment manufacturer documentation for pressure-system service requirements in your jurisdiction.
