Parker PP4MC4 Push-to-connect Pipe Connector 1/4 in

Product Description

The PARKER PP4MC4 is a push-to-connect tube-to-pipe connector designed for quick, tool-free tube connections in fluid handling and pneumatic systems. The fitting accepts 1/4 inch OD tubing on the push-to-connect end and threads onto 1/4 inch NPTF pipe connections. Constructed from polypropylene in a tan finish, the PP4MC4 is rated to 150 psi and suits applications where lightweight, corrosion-resistant fittings are required. This type of fitting is installed by plumbers, HVAC technicians, and fluid system technicians working on low-pressure pneumatic or water service lines.

The PP4MC4 is suited for residential and light commercial fluid handling installations where push-to-connect convenience reduces assembly time. Typical applications include water treatment systems, pneumatic control lines, and instrument tubing runs. The NPTF thread type ensures a pressure-tight mechanical seal without requiring additional sealant tape on the male thread, though standard practice varies by application and local code requirements.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified fluid system technicians. Shut off system pressure and depressurize the line completely before removing or installing any fitting. Confirm tubing cut is clean and square before insertion to ensure a proper seal. Consult applicable IPC or system-specific guidelines for pressure rating and fluid compatibility requirements.
