Parker W68PLP-12M-6R Push-to-connect Male Connector

Product Description

The PARKER W68PLP-12M-6R is a straight push-to-connect male connector fitting designed for tube-to-male tube connections in pneumatic and fluid systems. It accepts a 12mm outside diameter tube and connects to a 3/8 inch BSPT male thread. The body is nickel-plated brass with a silver finish and a yellow release button for quick tube removal. Rated to 300 psi maximum working pressure, it operates in temperatures from 0 degrees F to 200 degrees F. This fitting is silicone-free and meets the UL94 V-0 flame resistance standard. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and pneumatic system technicians install this type of fitting in compressed air, water, and compatible fluid line applications.

This fitting suits residential and light commercial applications where push-to-connect convenience is required on BSPT-threaded ports. It is commonly installed on pneumatic control panels, compressor manifolds, fluid distribution blocks, and HVAC ancillary equipment requiring metric tube connections at an imperial male thread port. The yellow release button allows tool-free tube disconnection, which reduces service time during maintenance or reconfiguration of plumbed systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed pipefitters, plumbers, or qualified pneumatic system technicians. Depressurize and isolate the system completely before installing or removing any push-to-connect fitting. Ensure tube ends are cut cleanly and squarely and are free of burrs before insertion to maintain a proper seal. Consult applicable plumbing and mechanical codes for pressure rating and thread-type requirements in your jurisdiction.
