Parker PP8TU8 Union Tee Tube Fitting 1/2 in Od

Product Description

The PARKER PP8TU8 is a push-to-connect union tee tube fitting designed for tube-to-tube connections in fluid and pneumatic plumbing systems. Constructed from polypropylene with an EPDM o-ring seal, this fitting handles working pressures up to 150 psi. The push-to-connect design allows for tool-free installation, making it a practical choice for plumbers, HVAC technicians, and pipe fitters who need a fast, reliable tube junction. The tee configuration splits or combines flow at a single point without the need for additional adapters or solvent welding.

This fitting is suited for light-duty fluid handling applications in residential and commercial settings. Typical uses include water treatment lines, irrigation manifolds, low-pressure pneumatic tubing, and general-purpose plumbing assemblies where polypropylene material compatibility and push-to-connect convenience are required. The white polypropylene body resists many common chemicals and is appropriate for cold and cool-temperature water service.

Key Features

• Push-to-connect design allows tool-free tube insertion and fast assembly
• Union tee configuration joins three tube runs at a single fitting body
• Polypropylene construction offers chemical resistance for light fluid-handling service
• EPDM o-ring provides a reliable seal across the connection points
• Rated to 150 psi working pressure
• Accepts 1/2 inch OD tubing on all three ports

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style push-to-connect replacement or new-installation fitting for systems using 1/2 inch OD tubing in light-duty fluid and low-pressure pneumatic plumbing applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by plumbers or pipe fitters familiar with push-to-connect tube fittings. Before servicing any line, depressurize and drain the system completely. Ensure tubing ends are cut square and deburred before insertion to achieve a proper seal. Do not exceed the rated working pressure of 150 psi, and verify that the polypropylene body and EPDM o-ring are chemically compatible with the conveyed fluid before placing the fitting in service.
