Parker W171PLP-8-8 Male Run Tee Push-to-connect 1/2 in

Product Description

The PARKER W171PLP-8-8 is a push-to-connect male run tee tube fitting designed for inline branch connections in pneumatic and fluid transfer systems. It accepts 1/2 inch OD tubing on both run ends and features a 1/2 inch NPTF male threaded branch port, allowing a direct tee-off without cutting into threaded manifolds or valves. The body is nickel-plated brass, rated to 300 psi maximum working pressure across a temperature range of 0 degrees F to 200 degrees F. The push-to-connect collet uses a black, flame-resistant button material rated to UL94 V-0, and the internal O-rings are nitrile. Licensed HVAC techs, plumbers, and industrial maintenance crews install this fitting where a quick, tool-free tube insertion is required at a male NPT port.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial pneumatic lines, instrumentation tubing runs, and compressed air distribution systems where 1/2 inch OD tubing must branch off at a male NPT connection point. The NPTF thread form provides a pressure-tight mechanical seal without relying solely on tape or sealant. The nitrile O-rings make it compatible with air, water, and a range of non-aggressive fluids. It is sold and packaged as a single piece, making it practical for service replacements and small-quantity repairs.

Key Features

• Push-to-connect collet on both run ends accepts 1/2 inch OD tubing without tools
• 1/2 inch NPTF male branch port provides a pressure-tight threaded connection
• Nickel-plated brass body resists corrosion in damp or cyclic-humidity environments
• Rated to 300 psi maximum working pressure
• Operating temperature range of 0 degrees F to 200 degrees F
• UL94 V-0 flame-resistant collet button and nitrile O-rings for reliable sealing

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style push-to-connect replacement fitting for pneumatic and fluid systems using 1/2 inch OD tubing with 1/2 inch NPTF male ported manifolds, valves, or equipment bodies.

Installation Notes

Shut down system pressure and bleed the line before removing or installing any push-to-connect fitting. Ensure tubing end is cut square and deburred before insertion into the collet to maintain a proper seal. Hand-tighten the NPTF threaded port into the mating female fitting first, then apply a wrench for final engagement per applicable plumbing or pneumatic system codes. To release tubing, depress the collet ring fully before pulling the tube free.
