Parker 72338163 Push-to-connect Union Fitting 1/4 in Od

Product Description

The PARKER 72338163 is a push-to-connect union tube fitting designed for fast, tool-free connections in pneumatic and fluid transfer systems. Molded from bio-sourced Nylon 11, the fitting handles working pressures up to 230 psi and accepts 1/4 inch OD tubing on both ends. The union configuration allows inline tube-to-tube connections without threading or crimping. It is suited for use by HVAC technicians, plumbers, and industrial maintenance professionals working with compressed air lines, water lines, and low-pressure fluid circuits.

This fitting is appropriate for light commercial and residential applications where quick-disconnect capability reduces labor time during installation or maintenance. The white Nylon 11 body resists moisture and many common chemicals, making it a practical choice for plumbing, pneumatic control lines, and similar service environments. Each fitting ships in a package quantity of 10, with a minimum order quantity of 1 package.

Installation Notes

Installation does not require special tools — cut tubing square and clean before inserting into the fitting body until it seats fully. Depressurize and drain the line completely before servicing or replacing any fitting. Verify that the tubing OD and system operating pressure fall within the rated limits of this fitting prior to pressurizing the system. Follow applicable plumbing or pneumatic codes for the jurisdiction and application.
