Parker PF-00068 Push-to-connect Brass Tube Fitting

Product Description

The PARKER PF-00068 is a push-to-connect tube fitting designed for inline fluid connections in plumbing and HVAC applications. Configured as a tube-to-female NPT-to-tube tee, it accepts 3/8-inch OD tubing on both tube ports and a 1/4-inch female NPT center connection. The body is machined from brass, offering reliable corrosion resistance for use with water, air, and compatible refrigerant lines. Rated to 250 psi maximum working pressure, this fitting handles the demands of light commercial and residential service work. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and pipefitters install this type of fitting where a quick, tool-free tube connection to a threaded female port is required.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC refrigerant lines, compressed air distribution, and similar fluid-handling systems where push-to-connect convenience and a female NPT branch connection are needed in a single body. The 3/4-inch hex on the NPT port allows standard wrench access during installation. It is sold individually with a package quantity of six units per pack.

Installation Notes

Installation of this fitting is typically performed by a licensed plumber or HVAC technician. Before connecting or disconnecting the fitting, shut off system pressure and depressurize the line completely. Ensure tubing ends are cut square, deburred, and clean before inserting into the push-to-connect ports to achieve a proper seal. Apply thread sealant to the male NPT nipple before engaging the female NPT port, following applicable IPC or IFGC guidelines.
