The fitting uses a compression x compression x MNPT end configuration, with a 1\/2-inch tube outside diameter on the compression ports and a 1\/2 NPT male thread on the branch outlet. Thread size is 11\/16-20 per SAE standards. The fitting is rated to 400 psi maximum working pressure and is constructed entirely of brass, making it suitable for a wide range of plumbing and refrigeration-adjacent tubing applications. Licensed plumbers and HVAC technicians are the typical installers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis fitting is used in residential and light commercial tubing systems where a branch connection is needed without a full cross configuration. The compression ends accept standard 1\/2-inch OD tubing on both inline ports, while the 1\/2 NPT male thread branch allows connection to a female-threaded valve, gauge, or distribution component. The SAE-rated construction and wide temperature range of -65 degrees F to 212 degrees F make it applicable across refrigeration, fuel, and general-purpose pneumatic or hydraulic tubing assemblies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompression x Compression x MNPT end configuration for inline tube branching with a threaded outlet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRated to 400 psi maximum working pressure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with 1\/2-inch OD tubing on compression ports\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/2 NPT male thread on branch end, 11\/16-20 thread size per SAE standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrass construction for corrosion resistance and durability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSAE-listed fitting suitable for a broad range of fluid and pneumatic service temperatures\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or direct-install fitting for systems using 1\/2-inch OD compression tubing with a 1\/2 NPT branch outlet in residential or light commercial plumbing, HVAC, refrigeration, or pneumatic applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified HVAC technician in accordance with applicable local codes and the IPC or IFGC as relevant to the service application. Shut off and depressurize the system fully before removing any existing fittings or making new connections. Ensure tubing ends are cut cleanly and deburred before inserting into compression fittings to achieve a proper seal. Do not over-tighten compression nuts, as this can deform the ferrule and compromise the connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Male Branch Tee\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Connections\u003c\/strong\u003e: Compression x Compression x MNPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTube Outside Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePipe Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 NPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 11\/16-20\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: MPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Working Pressure\u003c\/strong\u003e: 400 psi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Temperature\u003c\/strong\u003e: -65 degrees F (-54 degrees C)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Temperature\u003c\/strong\u003e: 212 degrees F (100 degrees C)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: SAE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.46 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: CERROBRASS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 72A-8D\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"CERROBRASS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67910485475634,"sku":"72A-8D","price":33.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/dc3e9ec5dbd1d1bc4e712a9b796a07c8.jpg?v=1791198281","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/cerrobrass-72a-8d-compression-male-branch-tee-1-2-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
