Value Collection PC72GS-12 Male Swivel Branch Tee Fitting

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION PC72GS-12 is a male swivel branch tee push-to-connect tube fitting designed for pneumatic and fluid distribution lines in light industrial, HVAC control, and instrumentation applications. Constructed from polyoxymethylene (POM), this fitting accepts 5/32-inch outside diameter tubing and connects to a 1/8-inch NPT male thread port. The swivel branch tee configuration allows the branch leg to rotate during installation, reducing torque on tubing runs and simplifying alignment in tight spaces. Rated to 150 psi, this fitting suits low-pressure compressed air and compatible fluid systems where a reliable, tool-free tube connection is needed.

This fitting is commonly used in pneumatic control circuits, instrument air lines, and HVAC actuator or damper control tubing where 5/32-inch OD tubing must branch off a male NPT port. The push-to-connect design allows for fast field assembly without additional fittings, sealants on the tube end, or specialized tooling. It is well suited for residential and light commercial HVAC control wiring panels, pneumatic thermostat systems, and similar low-pressure instrumentation installations requiring clean, repeatable tube connections.

Key Features

• Push-to-connect design for tool-free tube insertion and secure retention
• Male swivel branch tee configuration allows rotational adjustment during installation
• Polyoxymethylene (POM) construction for chemical resistance and dimensional stability
• Rated to 150 psi for compatibility with standard low-pressure pneumatic systems
• 1/8-inch NPT male thread for direct port connection without adapters
• Accepts 5/32-inch OD tubing for a broad range of light-duty pneumatic lines

Compatibility

Designed as a standard push-to-connect replacement or new-installation fitting for low-pressure pneumatic and instrumentation systems using 5/32-inch OD tubing and 1/8-inch NPT male thread ports.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by HVAC technicians, instrumentation mechanics, or plumbers working on low-pressure pneumatic control systems. Shut off compressed air supply and verify system pressure is relieved before disconnecting or installing fittings. Ensure tubing is cut square and deburred before insertion to achieve a proper seal. Thread engagement should follow standard NPT hand-tight-plus-turns practice in accordance with applicable piping codes; do not overtighten the NPT port connection, as POM fittings can crack under excessive torque.
