Parker W68PLP-8M-4R Push-to-connect Male Connector 8mm

Product Description

The PARKER W68PLP-8M-4R is a straight push-to-connect male connector designed for tube-to-male tube connections in compressed air and fluid control systems. It features a nickel-plated brass body with a silver finish and a yellow release button for quick tube insertion and removal without tools. The fitting accepts an 8 mm outside diameter tube and threads into a 1/4 inch BSPT male port. It is rated for a maximum working pressure of 300 psi and operates across a temperature range of 0 to 200 degrees F. Licensed HVAC technicians, plumbers, and pneumatic system installers are the primary users of this fitting type.

This connector is suited for residential and light commercial pneumatic and fluid control applications where a straight, inline push-to-connect joint is required at a male-threaded port. It is commonly installed in compressed air distribution lines, pneumatic controls, and low-pressure fluid circuits. The silicone-free grease used in the fitting makes it compatible with environments where silicone contamination is a concern, such as paint booths or certain sensor-sensitive systems. The UL94 V-0 flame resistance rating of its internal components makes it appropriate for installations with moderate fire-resistance requirements.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation straight push-to-connect male connector for pneumatic and fluid control systems using 8 mm OD tubing with a 1/4 inch BSPT male-threaded port.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by HVAC technicians, plumbers, or pneumatic system technicians. Depressurize and isolate the line completely before removing an existing fitting or installing this connector. Ensure the tube end is cut cleanly and squarely with no burrs before insertion, as debris or irregular cuts can compromise the seal. Verify that the mating port thread type is BSPT before installation, as BSPT and NPT threads are not interchangeable.
