Parker KP23828 Push-to-connect Connector 5/32 Od 1/8 Npt

Product Description

The PARKER KP23828 is a push-to-connect tube-to-male NPT connector fitting designed for quick, tool-free tubing connections in pneumatic and fluid handling systems. Constructed from nickel-plated brass, this connector accepts 5/32-inch OD tubing and terminates to a 1/8-inch male NPT thread. It is rated for a maximum working pressure of 290 psi and operates across a temperature range of -4 degrees F to 175 degrees F. The fitting is well suited for instrumentation, pneumatic control lines, and light fluid circuits where fast assembly and a reliable seal are required. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and instrumentation mechanics commonly install this type of fitting.

This connector is appropriate for residential and light commercial pneumatic or fluid distribution systems where 5/32-inch OD tubing terminates to a male NPT port. Common applications include compressed air control circuits, instrument air lines, and equipment manifolds that use standard NPT-threaded ports. The push-to-connect mechanism allows the tubing to be inserted and locked without ferrules, nuts, or crimping tools, which reduces installation time on the bench or in the field. Each package contains 5 pieces with a minimum order quantity of 1.

Key Features

• Push-to-connect design accepts 5/32-inch OD tubing with no ferrules or additional hardware
• 1/8-inch male NPT thread for direct connection to standard NPT-threaded ports
• Nickel-plated brass construction for corrosion resistance in pneumatic and fluid applications
• 290 psi maximum working pressure rating
• Operating temperature range of -4 degrees F to 175 degrees F
• Sold in a pack of 5 pieces

Compatibility

Designed for use with 5/32-inch OD tubing in systems equipped with 1/8-inch NPT-threaded ports. Suitable as an OEM-style connector in pneumatic control and instrumentation plumbing applications.

Installation Notes

This fitting is installed by plumbers, HVAC technicians, or instrumentation mechanics working on pneumatic or low-pressure fluid systems. Depressurize and isolate the system completely before removing or installing any fitting. Apply appropriate thread sealant to the male NPT threads in accordance with the system fluid compatibility and applicable plumbing codes. Confirm that tubing OD is within specification and that the tube end is cleanly cut and deburred before inserting into the push-to-connect collet to ensure a proper seal.
