Parker W68PLP-5/32-2 Push-to-connect Male Connector

Product Description

The PARKER W68PLP-5/32-2 is a push-to-connect male connector fitting designed for quick, tool-free tube connections in pneumatic and fluid handling systems. Constructed from nickel-plated brass with a nitrile O-ring, it provides a rated maximum working pressure of 300 psi and handles temperatures from 0 degrees F to 200 degrees F. The fitting connects a 5/32 inch OD tube to a 1/8 inch NPTF male threaded port. The black actuator button is made from a flame-resistant material compliant with the UL94 V-0 standard. This connector is typically installed by HVAC technicians, plumbers, and instrumentation professionals working with compressed air, pneumatic controls, or low-pressure fluid lines.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial pneumatic control applications, instrument tubing runs, and compressed air distribution where a fast, reliable tube-to-male-NPT transition is required. Its push-to-connect design allows field technicians to make secure connections without ferrules, compression sleeves, or special tooling, reducing installation time on control panels, pneumatic actuators, and similar equipment. The overall length of 0.8 inches keeps the footprint compact in tight enclosures.

Key Features

• Push-to-connect design accepts 5/32 inch OD tubing without ferrules or additional fittings
• Nickel-plated brass body resists corrosion in humid or condensing environments
• NPTF thread form provides a pressure-tight seal on male NPT ports
• 300 psi maximum working pressure suitable for pneumatic control service
• Nitrile O-ring provides a reliable seal across the rated temperature range
• UL94 V-0 flame-resistant actuator button for use near ignition sources

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style push-to-connect male connector for pneumatic tubing systems using 5/32 inch OD tube and 1/8 inch NPTF male-threaded ports.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed HVAC technician, plumber, or instrumentation technician. Depressurize and isolate the system completely before removing or installing any fitting. Ensure the receiving port thread is clean and undamaged before hand-tightening the NPTF connection. To release the tubing, depress the actuator collar fully before pulling the tube free.
