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

Product Description

The PARKER W172PLP-6M-6R is a push-to-connect swivel male branch tee fitting designed for pneumatic and fluid tubing systems. Constructed from nickel-plated brass, this three-port fitting accepts tube-to-tube-to-male connections and uses a tool-free push-in mechanism for fast, reliable assembly. It is rated to 300 psi maximum working pressure and handles temperatures from 0 degrees F to 200 degrees F. The yellow release button enables tube removal without cutting or disassembly. The male port features BSPT threading and a swivel design that simplifies alignment during installation. HVAC technicians, pneumatic system installers, and industrial maintenance pros are the primary installers of this fitting type.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial pneumatic tubing runs, instrument air lines, and fluid distribution systems where a branch tee connection is required. The 6mm tube outside diameter sizing and BSPT male thread make it appropriate for metric tubing configurations commonly found in European-standard equipment and imported machinery. The silicone-free grease used in assembly makes it compatible with systems where silicone contamination is a concern, such as paint booths and certain pneumatic controls.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by pneumatic system technicians or HVAC service professionals. Depressurize and isolate the tubing circuit completely before disconnecting or installing any push-to-connect fitting. Ensure tube ends are cut square and free of burrs before inserting into the push-to-connect ports — deformed tube ends are a primary cause of joint failure. Press the tube firmly until it seats fully; to release, depress the yellow release button and pull the tube straight out.
