Parker W68PLP-10M-6R Male Connector 10mm 3/8 Bspt 300 Psi

Product Description

The PARKER W68PLP-10M-6R is a push-to-connect male connector fitting designed for straight inline connections between metric tubing and male threaded ports. Constructed from nickel-plated brass, the fitting accepts a 10mm outside diameter tube on the push-to-connect end and terminates in a 3/8-inch BSPT male thread on the opposite end. It is rated for a maximum working pressure of 300 psi and handles temperatures from 0 degrees F to 200 degrees F. The silver body with yellow release button is finished with silicone-free grease and meets the UL94 V-0 flame resistance standard. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and industrial pipe fitters install this fitting in pneumatic and fluid-handling systems requiring a fast, tool-free tube connection.

This fitting is well suited for residential and light commercial pneumatic or fluid distribution systems where metric tubing interfaces with BSPT-threaded equipment ports. The push-to-connect design allows for rapid tube insertion and secure retention without ferrules or compression nuts, reducing installation time in tight or repetitive-connection applications. The 3/8-inch BSPT male thread is compatible with standard British Standard Pipe Taper ported components such as valves, manifolds, and equipment housings that accept this thread form.

Key Features

• Nickel-plated brass construction for corrosion resistance in pneumatic 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 and silicone-free grease lubrication

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement push-to-connect fitting for systems using 10mm OD tubing and 3/8-inch BSPT male-threaded ports in pneumatic or fluid-handling applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified plumber, HVAC technician, or industrial pipe fitter. Depressurize and isolate the system completely before removing or installing any fittings. Verify that the tube end is cut cleanly and squarely with no burrs before inserting into the push-to-connect port; a ragged cut can compromise the tube seal. BSPT threads are tapered and typically require appropriate thread sealant tape or compound in accordance with applicable codes and the equipment manufacturer's requirements.
