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

Product Description

The PARKER W172PLP-4M-4R is a push-to-connect swivel male branch tee fitting designed for tube-to-tube-to-male pneumatic or fluid line connections. Constructed from nickel-plated brass, this fitting handles working pressures up to 300 psi and operates across a temperature range of 0 to 200 degrees F. The push-to-connect design allows fast, tool-free tube insertion while the swivel male branch simplifies alignment during installation. A yellow release button enables quick tube removal without cutting or damaging the line. BSPT thread type and a UL94 V-0 flame-resistant, silicone-free grease formulation make this fitting suitable for demanding environments where cleanliness and flame resistance are required.

This fitting is suited for pneumatic control lines, instrumentation tubing, and compressed air distribution systems found in commercial HVAC controls, light industrial equipment, and process automation panels. It accepts 4mm outside diameter tubing and is sized with a 9/16-inch hex for standard wrench access. HVAC technicians, pipefitters, and instrumentation technicians typically install this fitting when routing small-bore tubing through control panels or branch manifolds requiring a swivel male connection point.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style push-to-connect branch tee fitting for pneumatic and fluid control systems using 4mm outside diameter tubing with BSPT male thread connections.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed pipefitters, HVAC controls technicians, or qualified instrumentation technicians. Depressurize and isolate the line fully before removing or installing any push-to-connect fitting. Ensure tube ends are cut cleanly and squarely — deformed or scratched tube ends will compromise the seal. Use a properly sized wrench on the 9/16-inch hex when threading the male branch into the port; do not overtighten.
