Value Collection PC72GS-64 Male Swivel Branch Tee Fitting

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION PC72GS-64 is a push-to-connect male swivel branch tee tube fitting designed for quick, tool-free tubing connections in pneumatic and fluid distribution systems. Constructed from polyoxymethylene (POM), this fitting accepts 3/8 inch OD tubing and features a 1/4 inch NPT male thread on the branch port. The swivel design allows the threaded end to rotate during installation, reducing stress on the tubing and making alignment in tight spaces significantly easier. Rated to 150 psi, it is suited for low-pressure air, water, and compatible fluid lines. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and automation technicians install this type of fitting in light-duty pneumatic control systems, water treatment lines, and instrumentation tubing runs.

This fitting is appropriate for residential and light commercial applications where 3/8 inch OD tubing must branch off a main line while maintaining a threaded port connection. Common installation scenarios include pneumatic control panels, water purification systems, and equipment that uses push-to-connect tubing for quick disconnects during servicing. The NPT thread conforms to standard North American pipe thread specifications, making it compatible with common manifolds, solenoid valve bodies, and threaded port fittings in the same size range.

Key Features

• Push-to-connect design allows tool-free tubing insertion and removal without additional fittings or clamps
• Swivel branch port rotates during installation to reduce tubing torque and simplify alignment
• 1/4 inch NPT male thread for compatibility with standard North American threaded ports
• Rated to 150 psi for reliable performance in low-to-medium pressure fluid and air systems
• POM (polyoxymethylene) construction offers good chemical resistance and dimensional stability
• Accepts 3/8 inch OD tubing for a secure, leak-resistant push-in connection

Compatibility

Designed as a standard push-to-connect branch tee replacement or new-installation fitting for systems using 3/8 inch OD tubing with 1/4 inch NPT threaded ports in pneumatic, water, or compatible fluid distribution applications.

Installation Notes

Depressurize and drain the system completely before removing or installing any push-to-connect fitting. Ensure the tubing end is cut cleanly and squarely with no burrs before inserting into the fitting body, as irregular cuts can compromise the internal collet seal. Apply thread sealant tape or compound to the NPT threads per the applicable plumbing or pneumatic system code before threading into the port. Do not exceed the 150 psi pressure rating or use this fitting with fluids incompatible with POM.
