Parker 12-12-12 Sbz-b Brass Compression Male Branch Tee 3/4

Product Description

The PARKER 12-12-12 SBZ-B is a brass compression tube male branch tee designed for use in fluid and pneumatic distribution systems where a single line must be split into two outlets while maintaining a threaded male connection at the branch port. Constructed from brass, this fitting combines two compression end connections with one 3/4 inch male NPT (MNPT) threaded port, allowing installers to tap into an existing compression line run without cutting or remaking the primary connection. Rated to 1900 psi maximum working pressure, this fitting suits demanding service environments. It is installed by licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and refrigeration mechanics working on copper or compatible tubing systems.

This branch tee is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC refrigerant line work, pneumatic control tubing, and instrumentation piping where a tee with a male NPT branch outlet is required. The compression end connections accept tubing on both the run ends, while the MNPT branch port threads directly into a female-threaded port or valve body. Its compact brass construction makes it a practical choice for tight installation spaces in mechanical rooms, equipment panels, and utility chases.

Key Features

• Brass construction provides corrosion resistance and compatibility with water, air, and many refrigerants
• 1900 psi maximum working pressure rating suits high-pressure fluid and pneumatic service
• 3/4 inch male NPT branch port threads into standard female NPT fittings or valve inlets
• Compression x Compression x MNPT end configuration allows inline tapping without cutting the primary run
• Compact male branch tee geometry minimizes installation footprint in confined spaces

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style compression tube male branch tee for use in plumbing, HVAC, pneumatic, and instrumentation tubing systems requiring a 3/4 inch MNPT branch outlet with compression run connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified HVAC or refrigeration mechanic in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IFGC or IPC requirements. Shut off the fluid or gas supply and relieve all system pressure before disassembling any existing fittings or making new connections. Compression fittings require proper ferrule seating and consistent nut torque — do not overtighten, as this can deform the ferrule and cause leaks. Inspect all mating tubing ends for squareness and freedom from burrs before assembly.
