Parker 10MBT8N-316 Compression Male Branch Tee 1/2-14 Npt

Product Description

The PARKER 10MBT8N-316 is a stainless steel compression tube male branch tee designed for high-pressure and high-temperature fluid and gas distribution systems. It features a tee configuration with compression connections on two ports and a male NPT thread on the branch port, allowing a branch line to be added to an existing compression tube run. Rated to 6100 psi maximum working pressure and capable of handling temperatures from -425 degrees F to 1200 degrees F, this fitting is built for demanding industrial and process applications. Installation is performed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, or instrumentation technicians.

This fitting is suited for use in instrumentation, process piping, hydraulic, and pneumatic systems where stainless steel construction is required for corrosion resistance or cleanliness. The 1/2-14 NPT male branch thread provides a direct connection to standard NPT female ports. The compression ends accept tubing and create a leak-tight seal without welding or soldering, making field installation straightforward in both new construction and retrofit scenarios.

Key Features

• Stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in harsh or high-purity environments
• Rated to 6100 psi maximum working pressure
• Temperature range from -425 degrees F to 1200 degrees F
• Compression x Compression x MNPT end connections for versatile branch routing
• 1/2-14 NPT thread standard for compatibility with common pipe fittings
• No welding or soldering required at compression ends

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for compression tube systems requiring a male NPT branch outlet in stainless steel construction.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified pipefitter, plumber, or instrumentation technician following applicable codes such as ASME B31.1 or B31.3 for process piping. Depressurize and isolate the line completely before disassembling any existing fittings. Use appropriate tube preparation tools to ensure square, burr-free tube ends before seating into compression fittings. Apply thread sealant compatible with the system media to the male NPT threads only, not to compression ends.
