Parker W171PLP-12M-8R Swivel Male Run Tee 12mm 300 Psi

Product Description

The PARKER W171PLP-12M-8R is a push-to-connect swivel male run tee fitting designed for tube-to-tube-to-male connections in pneumatic and fluid distribution systems. Constructed from nickel-plated brass, this fitting handles a maximum working pressure of 300 psi and operates across a temperature range of 0 to 200 degrees F. The run tee configuration allows a branch connection while maintaining inline flow, and the swivel male end simplifies alignment during installation. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and pneumatic system technicians are the primary installers of this type of fitting.

This fitting is suited for pneumatic plumbing and fluid handling applications in both light industrial and commercial settings where push-to-connect speed and reliable sealing are required. The 12mm outside diameter tube ports accept standard metric tubing, and the BSPT male thread accommodates British Standard Pipe Taper connections common in imported equipment and international system designs. The silicone-free grease used in the fitting makes it compatible with environments where silicone contamination is a concern, such as painting or finishing lines.

Key Features

• Push-to-connect design on tube ports for tool-free tube insertion and quick assembly
• Nickel-plated brass body provides corrosion resistance in wet or humid service environments
• 300 psi maximum working pressure rated for demanding pneumatic and fluid circuits
• BSPT male thread for compatibility with British Standard Pipe Taper fittings and equipment
• Silicone-free grease used internally, suitable for silicone-sensitive applications
• UL94 V-0 flame resistance standard met for added safety in regulated installations
• Yellow release button enables fast, positive tube release without additional tooling

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style push-to-connect replacement fitting for pneumatic and fluid systems using 12mm outside diameter metric tubing with BSPT male thread connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified pipefitter, plumber, or pneumatic systems technician. Depressurize and isolate the system fully before removing any existing fittings or inserting new ones. Ensure tubing is cut cleanly and squarely and that the tube end is free of burrs before insertion into the push-to-connect ports to maintain a proper seal. Confirm that the mating thread type on the system port is BSPT before installation, as BSPT and NPT threads are not interchangeable.
