Parker 10-10-8 Sbz-b Compression Male Branch Tee 1/2 in

Product Description

The PARKER 10-10-8 SBZ-B is a brass compression tube male branch tee designed for high-pressure fluid and gas line assemblies. It features three connection points: two compression ends and one male NPT (MNPT) threaded outlet, allowing branch takeoffs from a main compression run without additional adapters. Rated to 2000 psi maximum working pressure, this fitting is suited for demanding hydraulic, pneumatic, and instrumentation applications where leak-free, reusable connections are required. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and instrumentation technicians are the primary installers of this type of fitting.

This male branch tee is used in residential and commercial plumbing, HVAC, and industrial instrumentation systems where a compression main line requires a male NPT branch connection. The 1/2 inch thread size makes it compatible with common tube and pipe sizes found in refrigeration, pneumatic control, and process piping installations. It is packaged individually and sold as a single unit.

Key Features

• Brass construction for corrosion resistance in fluid and gas service
• Dual compression ends allow tool-assisted, leak-tight tube connections
• Male NPT branch outlet enables direct threaded pipe connection without extra adapters
• 2000 psi maximum working pressure rating for high-pressure applications
• 1/2 inch thread size fits common instrumentation and plumbing tube runs

Compatibility

This fitting cross-references to Swagelok part number B-1010-3-8TTM. Designed as an OEM-style compression branch tee for use in instrumentation, pneumatic, and plumbing systems requiring Compression x Compression x MNPT connections at 1/2 inch thread size.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber, pipefitter, or qualified instrumentation technician in accordance with applicable plumbing codes such as the IPC. Depressurize and isolate the system completely before removing or installing any compression fittings. Hand-tighten the compression nuts before applying wrench torque; do not overtighten, as this can damage the ferrule and compromise the seal. Inspect tube ends for burrs or deformation before assembly to ensure a proper compression seal.
