Parker A6MC6-MG Push-to-connect Male Connector 3/8 in

Product Description

The PARKER A6MC6-MG is a push-to-connect male connector tube fitting designed to join 3/8-inch OD tubing to a 3/8-inch NPTF male pipe thread. Constructed from acetal (polyoxymethylene), this fitting handles a maximum working pressure of 300 psi and operates across a temperature range of -20 degrees F to 180 degrees F. The push-to-connect design allows fast, tool-free tube insertion while maintaining a secure, leak-resistant seal. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and industrial piping contractors install this type of fitting where quick assembly or frequent service access is required on light-duty pneumatic or fluid systems.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial applications involving compressed air, water, and other compatible fluid lines where acetal construction meets chemical and pressure requirements. It connects 3/8-inch OD tubing directly to NPTF-threaded ports on valves, manifolds, cylinders, or equipment panels. The tan acetal body makes it a common choice in pneumatic control panels and water treatment plumbing where metal fittings are not required.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation male connector for systems using 3/8-inch OD tubing and 3/8-inch NPTF threaded ports where acetal push-to-connect fittings meet system pressure and temperature requirements.

Installation Notes

Depressurize and isolate the system completely before removing or installing any push-to-connect fitting. Ensure tubing end is cut square, deburred, and free of contamination before insertion to achieve a proper seal. Verify that the NPTF thread engagement is correct and that system fluid, pressure, and temperature remain within the rated limits of the acetal body. This fitting is typically installed by licensed plumbers or HVAC technicians in accordance with applicable IPC or facility piping codes.
