Parker W172PLP-10M-4R Swivel Male Branch Tee 10mm 300 Psi

Product Description

The PARKER W172PLP-10M-4R is a push-to-connect swivel male branch tee fitting designed for pneumatic and fluid tubing systems requiring a fast, tool-free connection. Constructed from nickel-plated brass with a UL94 V-0 flame-resistant body and silicone-free grease, this fitting handles up to 300 psi at temperatures ranging from 0 degrees F to 200 degrees F. The 10mm outside diameter tube ports accept push-in tubing on both inline ends while the swivel male BSPT branch allows easy thread engagement without twisting the tubing. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and pneumatic system technicians install this fitting in compressed air, water, and compatible fluid lines.

This fitting is suited for light commercial and industrial pneumatic plumbing applications where a branch tee connection must be made quickly without soldering, flaring, or compression tooling. The swivel male branch simplifies alignment into a fixed female BSPT port. The silver body with yellow release button conforms to common color-coding practices on push-to-connect pneumatic systems, making it easy to identify and service in dense panel or manifold installations.

Key Features

• Push-to-connect design on tube ports for tool-free tubing insertion and secure retention
• Swivel male BSPT thread allows thread engagement without rotating the tubing assembly
• Nickel-plated brass body provides corrosion resistance in humid or mildly aggressive environments
• Rated to 300 psi maximum working pressure for compatibility with standard compressed air systems
• UL94 V-0 flame resistance and silicone-free grease meet clean-system and fire-rating requirements
• Yellow release button provides clear visual identification of push-to-connect release collar

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style push-to-connect branch tee replacement for pneumatic and fluid tubing systems using 10mm outside diameter tubing with a BSPT male branch port connection.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed pipefitters or pneumatic system technicians. Always depressurize and lock out the system before removing or installing push-to-connect fittings. Insert tubing fully until it bottoms out in the fitting bore to ensure proper collet engagement. To release tubing, press the yellow release collar inward while pulling the tube straight out. Verify thread sealant used on the BSPT branch is compatible with the system fluid and does not contain silicone.
