Parker P00036 Push-to-connect Metric Fitting M16 5/8 Inch

Product Description

The PARKER P00036 is a push-to-connect tube-to-metric-thread tube fitting designed for air brake systems and other compressed-air plumbing applications. Constructed from brass, this fitting connects 5/8-inch OD tubing to an M16 metric thread port and is rated to 250 psi working pressure. The push-to-connect design allows for fast, tool-free tube insertion while maintaining a secure, leak-resistant seal through an integrated nitrile O-ring. It is typically installed by fleet mechanics, pneumatic system technicians, and heavy-duty vehicle service professionals working on air brake lines and related compressed-air circuits.

This fitting is suited for use in air brake systems where a 5/8-inch OD tube must terminate at an M16 metric threaded port. Typical installation scenarios include commercial vehicle air brake plumbing, pneumatic actuator lines, and compressed-air distribution assemblies in mobile equipment. The nitrile O-ring provides reliable sealing performance across a broad range of operating temperatures and is compatible with standard compressed-air media encountered in these applications.

Compatibility

Specified for use with air brake systems. Accepts 5/8-inch OD tubing and mates to M16 metric thread ports. No additional model-specific compatibility data was provided in the product input.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified pneumatic or vehicle brake system technicians in accordance with applicable vehicle safety codes and manufacturer service procedures. Before servicing, depressurize the air brake system completely and verify zero system pressure prior to disconnecting or installing any fittings. Ensure the tube end is cut cleanly and squarely, and that it is fully inserted into the fitting until it bottoms out to achieve a proper seal. Inspect the nitrile O-ring for damage before installation and confirm the M16 thread port is clean and free of debris.
