Parker 68PTC-12-12 Push-to-connect Male Npt Fitting

Product Description

The PARKER 68PTC-12-12 is a push-to-connect to male NPT tube fitting designed for quick, tool-free tube connections in pneumatic and fluid systems. Constructed from nickel-plated brass, it accepts tubing with a 3/4 inch outside diameter and is rated for a maximum working pressure of 250 psi. The push-to-connect end allows fast field installation without ferrules or compression sleeves, while the male NPT end threads directly into standard ported components. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and instrumentation technicians install this type of fitting in compressed air lines, process fluid circuits, and HVAC control tubing runs.

This fitting suits residential and light commercial applications where reliable, leak-free connections are required at tube-to-component junctions. Typical installations include pneumatic control systems, compressed air distribution, and fluid transfer lines that call for a push-in tube connection transitioning to a threaded port. The nickel-plated brass construction resists corrosion in moderate-duty service environments.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement fitting compatible with standard push-to-connect pneumatic and fluid systems using 3/4 inch OD tubing and male NPT threaded ports.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified plumber, pipefitter, or instrumentation technician. Depressurize and isolate the system completely before removing or installing any fittings. Ensure tubing is cut cleanly and squarely and that the tube end is free of burrs before insertion into the push-to-connect end. Apply thread sealant to the male NPT threads in accordance with applicable IPC or system manufacturer guidelines.
