Parker W68PLP-10M-8R Push-to-connect Male Connector

Product Description

The PARKER W68PLP-10M-8R is a straight push-to-connect male connector fitting designed to join 10mm OD tubing to a BSPT male threaded port without tools or additional fittings. Constructed from nickel-plated brass with a silicone-free grease lubricant on the internal components, this fitting carries a maximum working pressure of 300 psi and operates across a temperature range of 0 degrees F to 200 degrees F. The silver body and yellow release button allow quick identification and easy disconnection during service. Plumbing, pneumatic, and fluid-handling technicians install this fitting in compressed air, water, and compatible fluid lines where a reliable push-in connection to a male threaded port is required.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial pneumatic and fluid distribution systems where 10mm OD tubing terminates at a BSPT-threaded male port. Typical applications include compressed air distribution, instrumentation lines, and process fluid routing. The push-to-connect design allows fast assembly in tight spaces without wrenches on the tube side, making it a practical choice for panel assemblies, manifold connections, and equipment hookups where technicians need repeatable, leak-resistant connections. The yellow release button enables tube removal with a single hand for quick circuit reconfiguration or line maintenance.

Key Features

• Push-to-connect design accepts 10mm OD tubing without ferrules, compression sleeves, or tube prep beyond a clean square cut
• Rated to 300 psi maximum working pressure for compressed air and compatible fluid service
• BSPT male thread type for compatibility with metric-threaded ports and equipment
• Nickel-plated brass construction resists corrosion and provides durability in industrial and commercial environments
• Silicone-free internal grease meets requirements for applications sensitive to silicone contamination
• UL94 V-0 flame resistance rating on non-metallic components
• Yellow release button allows fast, tool-free tube removal for line changes or service

Compatibility

Designed for use with 10mm outside diameter tubing in push-to-connect pneumatic and fluid systems requiring a BSPT male threaded port connection. Verify thread type and tube OD against your system before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by plumbing, pneumatic, or mechanical technicians following applicable codes such as the IPC or system manufacturer guidelines. Shut down and depressurize the line completely before connecting or disconnecting the fitting. Ensure tubing is cut squarely, deburred, and free of contamination before inserting into the push-in collet. Apply appropriate thread sealant on the BSPT male threads per system requirements, and confirm full tube insertion by attempting a firm pull-back before returning the system to service.
