Parker W68PLP-2-1 Male Connector 1/8 in Od 300 Psi

Product Description

The PARKER W68PLP-2-1 is a push-to-connect male connector tube fitting manufactured from nickel-plated brass. It connects tubing on both ends to a male NPT port, providing a fast, tool-free tube connection in pneumatic and fluid control lines. The fitting accepts 1/8 inch outside diameter tubing and threads into a 1/16 inch NPTF port. Rated to 300 psi maximum working pressure, it is suited for compressed air, light hydraulic, and instrumentation applications. The release button is a black, flame-resistant material compliant with the UL94 V-0 standard. The nitrile O-ring provides a reliable seal across a wide temperature range.

This fitting is used in residential and commercial pneumatic control systems, instrumentation panels, and fluid distribution assemblies where a compact inline connection between small-diameter tubing and a threaded port is required. It is a common choice in HVAC control circuits, refrigeration instrumentation lines, and light industrial fluid systems. Licensed technicians and instrumentation specialists install this fitting when routing small-bore tubing to threaded manifold or valve body ports.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-install push-to-connect male connector for pneumatic and fluid control systems using 1/8 inch OD tubing and 1/16 inch NPTF threaded ports.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified HVAC technicians or instrumentation specialists working on pneumatic or fluid control circuits. Depressurize and isolate the system before removing or installing any fitting. Ensure tubing is cut cleanly and squarely, with no burrs, before inserting into the push-to-connect port. NPTF threads should be engaged fully to the specified thread engagement depth per ANSI and system design requirements; do not overtighten the threaded connection.
