Parker W68PLP-8M-6R Push-to-connect Male Connector Fitting

Product Description

The PARKER W68PLP-8M-6R is a straight push-to-connect male connector fitting designed to join an 8mm OD tube to a male BSPT threaded port. Built from nickel-plated brass with a silicone-free grease lubricant, it meets the UL94 V-0 flame resistance standard and handles working pressures up to 300 psi. The fitting features a yellow release button for quick tube insertion and removal without additional tools. It is suited for pneumatic and fluid transfer lines in commercial and industrial HVAC, refrigeration, and plumbing applications. Licensed HVAC technicians and plumbers install this fitting where a compact, reliable tube-to-male threaded connection is required.

This fitting is used in pneumatic control lines, compressed air systems, and fluid handling assemblies where an 8mm OD tube must connect to a male BSPT threaded port. Its straight configuration suits inline connections in tight equipment enclosures or panel-mounted manifolds. The operating temperature range of 0 degrees F to 200 degrees F covers typical mechanical room and rooftop equipment environments. It is sold individually and is appropriate for both new installations and service replacements in light commercial and industrial systems.

Key Features

• Push-to-connect design allows tool-free tube insertion and release via yellow button
• Nickel-plated brass construction resists corrosion in wet and humid environments
• Rated to 300 psi maximum working pressure
• UL94 V-0 flame resistance rating on internal components
• Silicone-free grease for compatibility with sensitive pneumatic and fluid systems
• Operating range of 0 degrees F to 200 degrees F

Compatibility

Designed for use with 8mm OD tubing and male BSPT threaded ports in pneumatic and fluid transfer systems requiring a straight inline male connector.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed HVAC technician or plumber familiar with pneumatic and pressurized fluid systems. Depressurize and isolate the line before removing or installing any fitting. Ensure the tube end is cut cleanly and squarely, and that the tube OD matches the 8mm specification before seating it in the fitting. Verify thread type compatibility — this fitting uses BSPT threads, which are not interchangeable with NPT threads.
