Parker W68PLPR-5/32-2 Push-to-connect Male Npt Connector

Product Description

The PARKER W68PLPR-5/32-2 is a round body male connector fitting that joins 5/32 inch OD tubing to a 1/8 inch male NPTF threaded port using a push-to-connect interface. Constructed from nickel-plated brass, this fitting provides a maximum working pressure rating of 300 psi and operates across a temperature range of 0 degrees F to 200 degrees F. The push-to-connect end allows for tool-free tube insertion, simplifying installation in tight spaces or high-volume assembly environments. The locking button is made from black flame-resistant material rated to UL94 V-0, adding a layer of safety in applications near ignition sources. HVAC technicians, plumbers, and pneumatic system installers working with small-diameter tubing will find this fitting suited to both control-line and instrument-line applications.

This fitting is designed for use in pneumatic control systems, instrumentation lines, and fluid handling applications where 5/32 inch OD tubing must terminate at a 1/8 inch NPTF male threaded port. Typical installation scenarios include HVAC pneumatic control circuits, compressed air distribution panels, and light-duty fluid transfer lines in both residential and commercial settings. The NPTF thread form provides a pressure-tight mechanical seal without relying solely on thread sealant.

• UL94 V-0 rated flame-resistant locking button

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service fitting for pneumatic and fluid systems using 5/32 inch OD tubing with 1/8 inch NPTF male threaded ports.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed HVAC technician, plumber, or qualified pneumatic systems technician. De-energize all pneumatic or fluid pressure from the line before disconnecting or installing any fitting. Ensure the tube end is cut cleanly and squarely with a tube cutter before insertion into the push-to-connect port to achieve a proper seal. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to the NPTF threads as required by local codes and the system manufacturer's recommendations before torquing into the port.
