Parker W172PLP-6M-2R Swivel Male Branch Tee 6mm 300 Psi

Product Description

The PARKER W172PLP-6M-2R is a push-to-connect swivel male branch tee fitting designed for pneumatic and fluid tubing systems. Constructed from nickel-plated brass with a silicone-free grease lubricant, this fitting accepts 6mm outside diameter tubing on the tube ports and terminates in a BSPT male thread connection. It is rated for a maximum working pressure of 300 psi and handles temperatures from 0 degrees F to 200 degrees F. The yellow release button allows quick, tool-free tube insertion and removal. Licensed HVAC technicians, plumbers, and instrumentation professionals install this fitting in compressed air, pneumatic control, and fluid distribution lines.

This fitting is suited for light industrial and commercial applications where push-to-connect convenience is required at a branch tee point in a tubing run. The BSPT male thread connection makes it appropriate for installations following British Standard pipe threading conventions. It is commonly used in pneumatic control panels, HVAC pneumatic actuator circuits, and process fluid lines where 6mm tube OD is the standard line size. The UL94 V-0 flame resistance rating and silicone-free construction make it compatible with environments where silicone contamination is a concern.

• Nickel-plated brass construction resists corrosion in air and fluid service
• Rated to 300 psi maximum working pressure
• Operating temperature range of 0 degrees F to 200 degrees F
• UL94 V-0 flame resistance rating; silicone-free grease lubricant

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style push-to-connect fitting for pneumatic and fluid tubing systems using 6mm outside diameter tubing with BSPT male thread terminations.

Installation Notes

Installation and service should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with pneumatic or fluid piping systems. De-pressurize and isolate the line completely before removing or installing fittings. Ensure the tubing end is cut cleanly and squarely and is free of burrs before insertion into the push-to-connect port. BSPT threads are tapered and require appropriate thread sealant per applicable installation codes; do not overtighten the male thread connection.
