Parker W68PLP-8M-2R Push-to-connect Male Connector 8mm

Product Description

The PARKER W68PLP-8M-2R is a straight push-to-connect male connector fitting designed for tube-to-male tube connections in compressed air, pneumatic, and fluid control systems. Constructed from nickel-plated brass, this fitting accepts an 8mm outside diameter tube and terminates in a 1/8 BSPT male thread. It is rated to 300 psi maximum working pressure and handles temperatures from 0 degrees F to 200 degrees F. The silver body and yellow release button are standard identifiers for Parker push-to-connect fittings. Installation requires no tools on the tube side — the tube seats and locks with a single push. Licensed HVAC technicians, plumbers, and pneumatic system technicians are the typical installers.

This fitting is used in residential and light commercial pneumatic and fluid control systems where a quick, reliable push-to-connect tube termination is required at a male-threaded port. The BSPT thread type makes it suited for systems built to British Standard Pipe Taper specifications. It is a compact, inline connector with an overall length of 1.17 inches and a 9/16-inch hex for wrench engagement. The silicone-free grease and UL94 V-0 flame resistance compliance make it appropriate for environments where silicone contamination is a concern, such as certain instrumentation and control applications.

Key Features

• Push-to-connect tube side accepts 8mm outside diameter tubing — no ferrule or compression sleeve needed
• 1/8 BSPT male thread for connection to British Standard Pipe Taper female ports
• 300 psi maximum working pressure rating
• Operating temperature range from 0 degrees F to 200 degrees F
• Nickel-plated brass construction resists corrosion in air and compatible fluid service
• Silicone-free grease — suitable for silicone-sensitive instrumentation environments
• UL94 V-0 flame resistance compliance

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style push-to-connect fitting for pneumatic and fluid control systems using 8mm OD tubing and 1/8 BSPT male-threaded ports built to British Standard Pipe Taper specifications.

Installation Notes

Install the BSPT male thread end into the female-threaded port using a wrench on the 9/16-inch hex — do not use the tube body for torque. Ensure the system is fully depressurized and de-energized before making or breaking any fitting connections. Insert clean, burr-free tubing straight into the push-to-connect end until it bottoms out; to release, depress the yellow collar and withdraw the tube. Follow applicable pneumatic system codes and the equipment manufacturer's thread-sealant guidance for BSPT connections.
