Parker 72338197 Push-to-connect Union Tee 1/4 Inch Od

Product Description

The PARKER 72338197 is a push-to-connect union tee tube fitting designed for fast, tool-free connections in pneumatic and fluid distribution systems. Constructed from bio-sourced Nylon 11 with an EPDM O-ring seal, this fitting handles working pressures up to 230 psi. It accepts tubing with a 1/4 inch outside diameter on all three ports. The union tee configuration allows a single inline tube run to branch off in a perpendicular direction without additional hardware. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and fluid system installers use this fitting where a reliable, reusable push-in connection is required and soldering or threaded fittings are not practical.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial applications involving compressed air, water, and compatible fluid lines. Typical install scenarios include pneumatic control circuits, water filtration and purification systems, and low-pressure instrumentation tubing runs. The white Nylon 11 body resists moisture and many common chemicals. The EPDM O-ring provides a secure seal and is compatible with water and a range of aqueous solutions. Packaged in a quantity of 10 units per pack, this fitting is practical for stocking service vans or shop inventory.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style push-to-connect replacement or new-installation fitting for pneumatic and fluid distribution systems using 1/4 inch outside diameter tubing.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber, HVAC technician, or qualified fluid systems technician. Depressurize and drain the line completely before disconnecting or installing any fitting. Ensure tubing ends are cut square and deburred before inserting into the fitting body to maintain a proper O-ring seal. To release tubing, depress the collet ring while pulling the tube straight out — do not force or rotate the tube during removal.
