Parker 72338643 Push-to-connect Fitting Connector 1/4in Od

Product Description

The PARKER 72338643 is a push-to-connect tube fitting connector designed for quick, tool-free tube connections in pneumatic and fluid transfer systems. Constructed from bio-sourced Nylon 11, this fitting accepts 1/4 inch OD tubing and threads into a 1/8 inch NPTF port. It is rated to 230 psi, making it suitable for moderate-pressure compressed air, water, and compatible fluid lines. The EPDM O-ring provides a reliable seal across a broad range of service conditions. HVAC technicians, plumbers, and fluid system installers use this fitting where fast assembly and secure tube retention are priorities.

This connector is well-suited for residential and light commercial HVAC equipment, pneumatic control lines, condensate management systems, and general fluid transfer applications. The push-to-connect mechanism allows tubing to be inserted and locked without additional tools, reducing installation time on service calls and new equipment installations. It ships in packages of 10, making it practical for stocking service vehicles and shop inventories.

Key Features

• Bio-sourced Nylon 11 construction offers chemical resistance and durability in fluid service environments
• Accepts 1/4 inch OD tubing with a tool-free push-to-connect mechanism
• 1/8 inch NPTF thread for a pressure-sealing connection at the port
• EPDM O-ring seal compatible with water, air, and many common system fluids
• Rated to 230 psi for moderate-pressure pneumatic and fluid transfer lines
• White color finish for visual identification in multi-line systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service fitting for pneumatic and fluid transfer systems using 1/4 inch OD tubing and 1/8 inch NPTF threaded ports.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed HVAC technicians, plumbers, or fluid system technicians depending on the application. Depressurize and isolate the system before removing or installing any fittings. Ensure the receiving port threads are clean and undamaged before threading in the fitting; NPTF threads are self-sealing by design but inspect for damage that could compromise the seal. To release tubing after insertion, depress the collet ring while pulling the tube free.
