Parker W68PLP-10M-4R Push-to-connect Male Connector Fitting

Product Description

The PARKER W68PLP-10M-4R is a push-to-connect male connector fitting designed for straight tube-to-male threaded connections in compressed air and fluid distribution systems. It accepts a 10mm outside diameter tube on one end and connects to a 1/4 inch BSPT male thread on the other. Constructed from nickel-plated brass with a silicone-free grease lubricant, the fitting is rated for up to 300 psi maximum working pressure and handles temperatures from 0 degrees F to 200 degrees F. The release button is silver with a yellow collar for quick tube removal without tools. Licensed plumbing and HVAC technicians install this fitting in pneumatic, air supply, and general fluid control applications.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial pneumatic and fluid systems where a straight inline connection between a metric tube and a BSPT male port is required. The push-to-connect design allows fast field connections without soldering, flaring, or compression tools. The UL94 V-0 flame resistance rating on the release button body makes it appropriate for installations where flame-resistance compliance is specified. Typical install locations include air compressor lines, control panels, and equipment manifold ports using 10mm OD tubing routed to BSPT-threaded fittings.

Key Features

• Push-to-connect design allows tool-free tube insertion and yellow-button release
• Nickel-plated brass body resists corrosion in air and compatible 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 on fitting components
• Silicone-free grease lubricant suits applications where silicone contamination must be avoided

Compatibility

Designed for use with 10mm outside diameter tubing connecting to 1/4 inch BSPT male threaded ports in pneumatic and fluid distribution systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, or pneumatic system technicians. Depressurize and isolate the system completely before removing or installing any fitting. Ensure the tube end is cut cleanly and squarely and that the tube OD is within specification before inserting into the push-to-connect port. Verify thread type compatibility before engaging the BSPT male thread, as BSPT threads are not interchangeable with NPT threads.
