Parker KP23949 Push-to-connect Fitting 5/32 in Brass

Product Description

The PARKER KP23949 is a brass push-to-connect tube fitting connector designed for small-bore pneumatic and fluid tubing systems. It accepts 5/32 inch OD tubing and threads into a 10-32 port, allowing a fast, tool-free tube connection on one end and a threaded mechanical attachment on the other. Rated to 290 psi maximum working pressure, this fitting handles demanding pressure conditions in compact plumbing, instrumentation, and light pneumatic circuits. The brass construction provides corrosion resistance and durability suitable for a wide range of media. HVAC technicians, instrumentation techs, and plumbers use this style of fitting where speed of assembly and reliable sealing matter.

This connector is suited for residential and light commercial applications involving small-diameter tubing runs, including pneumatic control lines, instrument air circuits, low-pressure fluid transfer, and HVAC sensing lines. The 10-32 thread size is common on instrument manifolds, solenoid valve bodies, and control panel ports. The push-to-connect mechanism allows quick tube insertion and positive retention without ferrules or compression nuts, speeding up installations where multiple connections are made in tight quarters.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or drop-in addition for small-bore push-to-connect pneumatic and fluid fitting applications using 5/32 inch OD tubing with 10-32 threaded ports.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, or instrumentation mechanics. Before servicing any line, depressurize the system fully and verify the line is free of residual fluid or air pressure. Ensure tubing is cut cleanly and squarely and that the OD is within specification before inserting into the fitting. Apply thread sealant appropriate for the media on the 10-32 threaded end per the system manufacturer guidelines and applicable codes.
