Constructed from nickel-plated brass with a nitrile O-ring seal, it handles working pressures up to 300 psi and temperatures ranging from 0 degrees F to 200 degrees F. The fitting connects 3\/8 inch OD tubing on two ports to a 3\/8 inch NPTF male threaded port, creating a branch tee configuration. The push-to-connect mechanism uses a black, flame-resistant button compliant with UL94 V-0, making it suitable for environments where ignition resistance is required. Licensed HVAC technicians, plumbers, and fluid-systems mechanics install this type of fitting during new builds and retrofit work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis fitting is suited for residential and light commercial pneumatic systems, compressed air lines, and fluid distribution networks where quick-connect branch tee configurations are needed. The NPTF thread type provides a pressure-tight mechanical seal without relying solely on thread sealant. The 3\/8 inch OD tube ports accept standard semi-rigid and flexible tubing used in instrument air, control lines, and similar low-to-medium pressure service. Overall installed length is 2.02 inches, making it appropriate for space-constrained panel or manifold installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePush-to-connect design allows tool-free tube insertion and secure retention\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNickel-plated brass body resists corrosion in damp or moderate chemical environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/8 inch NPTF male thread provides a pressure-tight mechanical seal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRated to 300 psi maximum working pressure\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOperating temperature range: 0 degrees F to 200 degrees F\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUL94 V-0 flame-resistant release button for added safety compliance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNitrile O-ring seals maintain integrity across the rated temperature and pressure range\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style push-to-connect branch tee replacement for pneumatic and fluid systems requiring 3\/8 inch OD tube connections with a 3\/8 inch NPTF male branch port.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, or fluid-systems mechanics. Before installation, depressurize and de-energize the system fully. Ensure tubing ends are cut square and deburred before insertion into the push-to-connect ports to maintain a proper seal. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the NPTF male thread per the applicable IPC or system manufacturer guidelines, and verify no leaks under pressure before returning the system to service.\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\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTube Outside Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/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: 2.02 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: 0.13 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 27121700\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-6-6\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PARKER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51542715007282,"sku":"W172PLP-6-6","price":62.13,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/1afa0811f5822101d3083c0308ec6531_4b151ecb-248b-47a6-8865-ed07cd936ba0.jpg?v=1785905214","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/parker-w172plp-6-6-male-branch-tee-3-8-in-od-nptf","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
