It accepts 5\/16 inch OD tubing on the tube ports and connects to a 1\/8 inch NPTF male thread on the branch port, creating a three-way split in a pneumatic or fluid line without the need for ferrules or compression tools. The fitting is rated to 300 psi maximum working pressure and handles temperatures from 0 degrees F to 200 degrees F. The internal O-ring is nitrile, and the push-to-connect button is a black flame-resistant material rated to UL94 V-0. HVAC technicians, plumbers, and pneumatic system installers use this fitting where a quick, reliable tube branch connection is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis fitting is suited for use in low-pressure pneumatic control lines, instrumentation tubing, and fluid distribution systems found in both residential and light commercial applications. The push-to-connect design speeds up installation in tight spaces where wrench access is limited. The NPTF thread ensures a pressure-tight mechanical seal on the male branch port without the need for additional sealant tape in most applications, though jobsite practice and applicable codes should guide that decision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePush-to-connect tube ports accept 5\/16 inch OD tubing with no ferrules or tools required\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/8 inch NPTF male branch thread provides a pressure-tight mechanical seal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNickel-plated brass body resists corrosion in moderate-duty fluid and pneumatic service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNitrile O-ring compatible with a wide range of pneumatic and general-purpose fluid media\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUL94 V-0 rated flame-resistant black release button\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRated to 300 psi maximum working pressure across a 0 to 200 degrees F operating range\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with 5\/16 inch OD tubing in push-to-connect pneumatic and fluid systems requiring a 1\/8 inch NPTF male branch tee connection.

Before making or breaking any fitting connection, depressurize and isolate the line completely. Ensure tubing is cut square and deburred before inserting into the push-to-connect port to achieve a proper seal. To release tubing, depress the collar button fully before pulling the tube free.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tube x MNPT x Tube x Male (Branch Tee)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTube Outside Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: NPTF\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Working Pressure\u003c\/strong\u003e: 300 psi\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Working Temperature\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0 degrees F\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Working Temperature\u003c\/strong\u003e: 200 degrees F\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.94 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Nickel-Plated Brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eO-Ring Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Nitrile\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Button Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Black flame-resistant, UL94 V-0 compliant\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0966 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: PARKER\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: W172PLP-5-2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PARKER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51544088805682,"sku":"W172PLP-5-2","price":35.65,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/1afa0811f5822101d3083c0308ec6531_063ca2b9-307e-4a3c-a5b8-f0aa72fe5ab2.jpg?v=1785923930","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/parker-w172plp-5-2-male-branch-tee-push-to-connect-5-16-od","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
