Parker PPB4MC4-MG Push-to-connect Connector 1/4 in Od

Product Description

The PARKER PPB4MC4-MG is a push-to-connect tube fitting connector designed for quick, tool-free tube joining in fluid and pneumatic systems. Constructed from polypropylene, this straight connector handles pressures up to 230 psi and accepts tubing with a 1/4-inch outside diameter on both ends. The push-to-connect design allows technicians to make secure, leak-resistant connections without threading or compression fittings, reducing installation time on production lines, equipment plumbing runs, and service calls. Licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and fluid-handling system technicians are the typical installers. The compact body measures 1.14 inches in length and 0.69 inches in width, making it suitable for tight-clearance applications.

This fitting is suited for low-pressure fluid transfer, pneumatic control lines, and instrumentation tubing in both residential and light commercial settings. Its polypropylene construction provides resistance to a broad range of chemicals and makes it a practical choice for water treatment, HVAC condensate lines, and similar non-aggressive media applications. The 1/4-inch OD tube compatibility covers a common tubing size found throughout HVAC, refrigeration, and general plumbing service work.

Key Features

• Push-to-connect design enables tool-free, fast tube insertion and secure retention
• Rated to 230 psi for use in low- to medium-pressure pneumatic and fluid systems
• Polypropylene construction offers chemical resistance and lightweight durability
• Straight connector configuration joins two 1/4-inch OD tubes in a single inline fitting
• Compact profile at 1.14 inches long and 0.69 inches wide fits confined spaces

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation connector for systems using 1/4-inch OD push-to-connect tubing in pneumatic, fluid transfer, and HVAC plumbing applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, or fluid-systems mechanics. Before servicing any connected line, depressurize and isolate the system completely. Ensure tubing ends are cut cleanly and squarely with a tube cutter to achieve a proper seal inside the fitting. Do not exceed the rated 230 psi operating pressure, and verify the polypropylene body is compatible with the media and temperature range of the application before installation.
