Parker W172PLP-8M-6R Swivel Male Branch Tee 8mm 300 Psi

Product Description

The PARKER W172PLP-8M-6R is a push-to-connect swivel male branch tee fitting designed for pneumatic and fluid tubing systems requiring a three-way connection with a rotatable male outlet. Constructed from nickel-plated brass with a silicone-free grease lubricant and UL94 V-0 flame-resistant components, it handles working pressures up to 300 psi across a temperature range of 0 to 200 degrees F. The 8mm outside diameter push-in ports accept tube without tools, while the swivel male end uses a BSPT thread type for leak-free integration into manifolds, valves, or equipment ports. HVAC technicians, pneumatic system installers, and industrial maintenance professionals are the typical end users.

This fitting is suited for use in compressed air distribution, pneumatic control circuits, and fluid transfer lines where a branch tee configuration is required. The swivel male end allows the fitting to be oriented after installation without disturbing the tube connections, which simplifies routing in tight equipment enclosures. Its nickel-plated brass construction makes it appropriate for both residential and light commercial HVAC and refrigeration control applications as well as general industrial pneumatic systems operating within the rated pressure and temperature envelope.

Key Features

• Push-to-connect tube ports for tool-free tube insertion and secure retention
• Swivel male branch end allows post-installation orientation adjustment
• Nickel-plated brass body with silver finish and yellow release button for fast tube removal
• Rated to 300 psi maximum working pressure
• UL94 V-0 flame resistance standard compliance on internal components
• Silicone-free grease lubricant suitable for sensitive pneumatic and instrumentation environments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for pneumatic and fluid tubing systems using 8mm outside diameter tube with BSPT male thread connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified technician. Depressurize the system and shut off all fluid or air supply before removing or installing any fittings. Ensure tube ends are cut cleanly and squarely and are free of burrs before insertion into the push-to-connect ports. BSPT threads are tapered and should be inspected for damage and sealed appropriately per applicable plumbing or pneumatic codes before make-up.
