Parker BD-LG1014 Male Connector 3/16in Od 1/8in Npt Brass

Product Description

The PARKER BD-LG1014 is a push-to-connect male connector tube fitting designed for fast, tool-free tube connections in pneumatic and fluid distribution systems. It accepts 3/16 inch OD tubing on both tube ports and connects to a 1/8 inch male NPT threaded port, making it a practical inline connector between tubing runs and threaded ports. The body is nickel-plated brass, offering corrosion resistance suitable for air, water, and compatible fluid service. Rated to 290 psi maximum working pressure, it handles a wide range of light-duty pneumatic and hydraulic line applications. Licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and mechanical contractors install this fitting in control line assemblies, instrument air circuits, and similar small-bore tubing systems.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial applications where 3/16 inch OD tubing must transition to a 1/8 inch NPT threaded connection. Typical install scenarios include instrument and control tubing, HVAC condensate or pneumatic control circuits, and small-bore fluid distribution panels. The push-to-connect mechanism allows quick field assembly without flaring tools or compression sleeves. Operating temperature range is 5 degrees F to 155 degrees F, making it appropriate for indoor mechanical room installations and conditioned-space control systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, or mechanical contractors working on pneumatic control or fluid distribution systems. Depressurize and isolate the line completely before removing or installing any fitting. Ensure the NPT threads are wrapped with appropriate thread sealant tape per applicable plumbing or mechanical codes before tightening. Tube ends should be cut cleanly and squarely to ensure a proper push-to-connect seal.
