Parker W68PLPR-4-2 Push-to-connect Male Npt Connector

Product Description

The PARKER W68PLPR-4-2 is a round body male connector fitting that joins a 1/4 inch OD push-to-connect tube to a 1/8 inch NPTF male threaded port. Constructed from nickel-plated brass, this fitting is rated for up to 300 psi working pressure and handles temperatures from 0 degrees F to 200 degrees F. The push-to-connect design allows fast, tool-free tube insertion without sacrificing a secure, leak-resistant seal. The black release button is made from flame-resistant material that meets the UL94 V-0 standard. HVAC technicians, plumbers, and refrigeration mechanics use this fitting where compact, reliable push-in connections are required in tight system layouts.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC, pneumatic, and fluid-handling systems where 1/4 inch OD tubing must connect to a 1/8 inch male NPT threaded port. Its nickel-plated brass body resists corrosion in humid mechanical room environments and holds up under the thermal cycling common to HVAC and refrigeration applications. It is packaged individually and is a direct replacement or add-on fitting for systems using Parker push-to-connect tube fitting configurations.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style push-to-connect replacement fitting for systems using 1/4 inch OD tubing with 1/8 inch male NPT threaded ports, typical in residential and commercial HVAC, plumbing, and pneumatic applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, or refrigeration mechanics. Shut off system pressure and depressurize the line completely before removing or installing any tube fitting. Ensure tubing is cut cleanly and squarely with no burrs before inserting into the push-to-connect port to achieve a proper seal. Thread the NPTF male end into the receiving port by hand before applying a wrench to avoid cross-threading; refer to applicable IPC or IFGC guidelines for threaded fitting torque practices.
