Parker W172PLP-10M-8R Swivel Male Branch Tee 10mm Bspt

Product Description

The PARKER W172PLP-10M-8R is a push-to-connect swivel male branch tee fitting designed for tube-to-tube-to-male connections in pneumatic and fluid control systems. Constructed from nickel-plated brass, it accepts 10mm outside diameter tubing on both tube ports and features a BSPT male thread on the branch port. The fitting is rated to 300 psi maximum working pressure and handles operating temperatures from 0 degrees F to 200 degrees F. The silver body with yellow release button allows for tool-free tube insertion and quick disconnection during service. Licensed HVAC, plumbing, and mechanical contractors install this type of fitting in compressed air lines, pneumatic control circuits, and fluid distribution manifolds.

This fitting is suited for light commercial and industrial pneumatic applications where a branched tube connection with a swivel male threaded port is required. The push-to-connect design reduces installation time compared to traditional compression or flare fittings. The silicone-free grease used in the assembly makes it compatible with environments where silicone contamination is a concern, such as painting booths or certain instrumentation setups. The UL94 V-0 flame resistance rating on internal components supports use in applications with stricter material compliance requirements.

Key Features

• Push-to-connect design accepts 10mm OD tubing on both tube ports for tool-free assembly
• Nickel-plated brass body rated to 300 psi maximum working pressure
• BSPT male thread on the branch port with swivel capability for alignment flexibility
• Operating temperature range: 0 degrees F to 200 degrees F
• UL94 V-0 flame resistance standard compliance on internal components
• Silicone-free grease — compatible with silicone-sensitive environments

Compatibility

Designed for use with 10mm outside diameter push-to-connect tubing in pneumatic and fluid systems using BSPT threaded ports. Verify thread standard compatibility before installation, as BSPT is not interchangeable with NPT without appropriate adapters.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified mechanical, HVAC, or plumbing technician following applicable local codes and manufacturer guidelines. Depressurize and isolate the system completely before removing or installing any fittings. Ensure tubing is cut cleanly and squarely with no burrs before inserting into the push-to-connect ports to achieve a proper seal. Do not exceed the rated working pressure or operating temperature range for this fitting.
