Parker W172PLP-12M-6R Swivel Male Branch Tee 300 Psi

Product Description

The PARKER W172PLP-12M-6R is a push-to-connect swivel male branch tee fitting designed for pneumatic and fluid tubing systems. It connects two push-to-connect tube ports to one male BSPT threaded port, allowing quick branch connections without tools on the tube side. Built from nickel-plated brass, it handles working pressures up to 300 psi and operates across a temperature range of 0 degrees F to 200 degrees F. The silver body features a yellow release button for fast tube removal. This fitting suits HVAC, compressed air, and industrial fluid lines where a reliable, vibration-resistant branch connection is needed.

This fitting is used in residential and light commercial pneumatic and fluid distribution systems where space-saving push-to-connect plumbing is preferred over traditional compression or flare fittings. Typical applications include compressed air distribution, instrumentation lines, and HVAC control tubing. The swivel male end simplifies alignment during installation in tight or angled installations. It is installed by licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and industrial mechanics working on systems that require quick-connect branch tee configurations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified HVAC or pneumatic systems technician. Depressurize and isolate the line completely before removing or installing any fitting. Ensure tubing is cut cleanly and squarely and inserted fully until it seats; confirm connection by gently pulling back on the tube. Apply thread sealant appropriate for BSPT threads and verify all connections hold rated pressure before returning the system to service.
