Parker W171PLP-4-6 Male Run Tee 1/4 Od 3/8 Nptf

Product Description

The PARKER W171PLP-4-6 is a push-to-connect male run tee tube fitting designed for quick, tool-free tubing connections in pneumatic and fluid transfer systems. Constructed from nickel-plated brass with a nitrile o-ring, it handles a maximum working pressure of 300 psi across a temperature range of 0 to 200 degrees F. The fitting accepts 1/4 inch OD tubing on the run ports and transitions to a 3/8 inch NPTF male threaded branch outlet. The black push-button release is made from flame-resistant material rated to UL94 V-0. HVAC technicians, plumbers, and industrial service techs install this fitting when a tee connection with a male NPT branch is needed without soldering or flaring.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial applications involving compressed air, pneumatic controls, or compatible fluid lines. Its push-to-connect design allows fast field installation and removal, making it practical in tight spaces or high-volume service work. The NPTF thread form provides a pressure-tight mechanical seal at the branch connection without relying solely on thread sealant. Overall length is 2.09 inches, keeping the assembly compact in panel or cabinet installations.

Key Features

• Push-to-connect design accepts 1/4 inch OD tubing with no tools required for insertion
• 3/8 inch NPTF male branch outlet for pressure-tight threaded connections

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style push-to-connect fitting for pneumatic tubing systems using 1/4 inch OD tubing with a 3/8 inch NPTF male threaded port, typical in HVAC controls, compressed air distribution, and industrial fluid systems.

Installation Notes

Depressurize and de-energize the system fully before removing or installing any fittings. Ensure tubing is cut cleanly and squarely, with no burrs, before inserting into the push-to-connect port. Apply appropriate thread sealant to the NPTF male threads per the system requirements and applicable plumbing or pneumatic codes. To release tubing, depress the collet button and pull the tubing straight out.
