Parker W68PLP-6M-2R Push-to-connect Male Connector 6mm

Product Description

The PARKER W68PLP-6M-2R is a straight push-to-connect male connector fitting designed for tube-to-male tube connections in pneumatic and fluid-handling systems. Built from nickel-plated brass, it accepts a 6mm outside diameter tube and threads into a 1/8 BSPT male port. The fitting handles working pressures up to 300 psi and operates across a temperature range of 0 degrees F to 200 degrees F. Its push-to-connect design allows fast, tool-free tube insertion while the yellow release button enables quick disconnection. Licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and industrial maintenance techs typically install this type of fitting in compressed air, water, and pneumatic control line applications.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial pneumatic systems, compressed air distribution, and fluid-transfer lines where a straight male connector with BSPT thread is required. The 1/8 BSPT thread is a tapered British Standard Pipe Thread commonly found in imported equipment and pneumatic components. At 0.87 inches in overall length with a 1/2-inch hex size, it fits into tight installations where compact dimensions matter. Silicone-free grease construction makes it compatible with applications where silicone contamination is a concern, such as paint lines and certain sensor environments.

Key Features

• Push-to-connect design for tool-free tube insertion and yellow-button release
• Nickel-plated brass construction for corrosion resistance
• Rated to 300 psi maximum working pressure
• Operating temperature range of 0 degrees F to 200 degrees F
• UL94 V-0 flame resistance rated body material
• Silicone-free grease for compatibility with sensitive fluid systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for pneumatic and fluid-handling systems requiring a straight push-to-connect male connector with a 6mm OD tube connection and 1/8 BSPT male thread port.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, or qualified industrial maintenance personnel. Depressurize and isolate the line completely before removing or installing any push-to-connect fitting. Ensure the tube end is cut cleanly and squarely with no burrs before inserting into the fitting to maintain a proper seal. Thread engagement should follow applicable pressure-system codes and the fitting should be inspected for leaks after system re-pressurization.
