Parker PF-00354 Push-to-connect Fitting M16 1/4 in Brass

Product Description

The PARKER PF-00354 is a brass push-to-connect tube fitting designed to join a 1/4 inch OD tube to an M16 metric thread port. The push-to-connect mechanism allows fast, tool-free tube insertion while the threaded end seals to a metric-ported component. Constructed from brass with a nitrile O-ring, this fitting handles a maximum working pressure of 250 psi. It is suited for pneumatic and fluid transfer lines where a metric-threaded port must interface with standard imperial OD tubing. Licensed plumbing, HVAC, and fluid power technicians install this type of fitting during equipment assembly or repair.

This fitting is rated for use with air brake systems and similar pneumatic fluid line applications. It is appropriate for both original equipment assembly and field service repairs where a metric thread port needs to accept a 1/4 inch OD push-to-connect tube. The brass construction and nitrile O-ring seat make it compatible with compressed air service at standard shop and vehicle pressures. This item is sold in a package quantity of five units.

Key Features

• Push-to-connect design allows tool-free tube insertion and removal
• M16 metric thread on the port end for compatibility with metric-ported components
• Accepts 1/4 inch OD tubing on the tube end
• Maximum working pressure of 250 psi
• Brass body construction for corrosion resistance in pneumatic service
• Nitrile O-ring included for reliable sealing against air and light fluid media

Compatibility

Rated for use with air brake systems. Designed as an OEM-style push-to-connect fitting for pneumatic lines requiring a 1/4 inch OD tube connection to an M16 metric thread port.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by fluid power or pneumatic service technicians. Depressurize and isolate the affected line completely before removing or installing any fitting. Ensure tubing is cut cleanly and squarely with no burrs before inserting into the push-to-connect collet, as burrs can compromise the internal seal. Thread the metric end to the appropriate torque for brass fittings per applicable system specifications and always verify the connection is leak-free under working pressure before returning the system to service.
