Parker A5FC6-MG Push-to-connect Connector 5/16 Od

Product Description

The PARKER A5FC6-MG is a push-to-connect tube-to-pipe connector fitting designed for fast, tool-free tube connections in fluid and pneumatic systems. Molded from polyoxymethylene (POM), this fitting accepts a 5/16 inch OD tube and threads into a 3/8 inch NPTF female port. POM construction delivers strong resistance to fuels, solvents, and mild chemicals, making it a reliable choice for low-to-medium pressure lines. Rated to 300 psi, it is suited for compressed air, water, and light-fluid applications commonly found in HVAC controls, plumbing panels, and light industrial equipment. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and maintenance professionals install this fitting where a secure push-lock connection and threaded pipe port are both required in a single component.

The A5FC6-MG is intended for use in residential and light commercial systems where tubing must terminate at a threaded pipe port without additional fittings or ferrules. Typical installations include instrument tubing runs, pneumatic control lines, water supply connections, and condensate or fluid transfer circuits. The tan-colored POM body is easily identified during service. Its compact form factor suits tight panel and cabinet installations where larger brass or steel fittings would not fit.

Key Features

• Push-to-connect design allows tool-free tube insertion for fast installation and removal
• 5/16 inch OD tube port paired with 3/8 inch NPTF male thread for direct pipe-port engagement
• Polyoxymethylene (POM) body rated to 300 psi for compressed air, water, and light-fluid service
• POM material provides good chemical resistance to fuels, solvents, and mild corrosives
• Tan color coding aids identification and service in multi-line installations
• Compact, single-piece connector eliminates the need for separate adapter fittings

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style push-to-connect connector for pneumatic and fluid tubing systems using 5/16 inch OD tubing terminating at a 3/8 inch NPTF threaded port.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by plumbers, HVAC technicians, or qualified maintenance personnel. Depressurize and isolate the line completely before installing or removing this fitting. Ensure tubing is cut square and deburred before insertion to achieve a proper push-lock seal. Thread engagement should comply with applicable NPTF sealing standards and relevant sections of the IPC or IFGC as applicable to the fluid or gas being conveyed.
