Parker W171PLP-8M-4R Swivel Male Run Tee 8mm 1/4 Bspt

Product Description

The PARKER W171PLP-8M-4R is a push-to-connect swivel male run tee fitting designed for pneumatic and fluid tubing systems. It connects two inline tube runs while providing a male branch port, allowing quick, tool-free tube insertion on the tube ends combined with a swiveling male threaded outlet. Constructed from nickel-plated brass with a silicone-free grease and a yellow release button, it is rated to 300 psi maximum working pressure and handles temperatures from 0 degrees F to 200 degrees F. The BSPT male thread measures 1/4 inch, and the tube outside diameter is 8mm. This fitting is installed by HVAC technicians, plumbers, and pneumatics specialists working on compressed air, water, or compatible fluid lines.

This fitting suits residential and light commercial applications where push-to-connect convenience is required at a tee junction with a male threaded branch. Typical install scenarios include compressed air distribution, pneumatic control tubing, and low-pressure fluid transfer lines where fast assembly and disassembly reduce labor time. The swivel feature allows the male thread port to be oriented independently of the tube runs, simplifying routing in tight spaces. The UL94 V-0 flame resistance rating and silicone-free construction make it compatible with environments where silicone contamination is a concern.

Key Features

• Push-to-connect tube ends accept 8mm OD tubing for tool-free insertion and release
• Swivel male branch port allows independent orientation without disturbing tube connections
• Nickel-plated brass body with silver finish resists corrosion in damp or industrial environments
• Rated to 300 psi maximum working pressure
• Operating temperature range of 0 degrees F to 200 degrees F
• UL94 V-0 flame resistance rating and silicone-free grease for sensitive system compatibility

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style push-to-connect fitting for systems using 8mm OD tubing and 1/4 inch BSPT male threaded ports in pneumatic or compatible fluid plumbing applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with pneumatic or plumbing system fittings. Before servicing, depressurize and isolate the line completely. Ensure tubing is cut cleanly and squarely and that the tube OD matches the 8mm specification before insertion. The BSPT male thread requires appropriate thread sealant compatible with the system media and should be tightened to fitting manufacturer standards without over-torquing the brass body.
