Parker 151F-10-8 Brass Flared Male Run Tee 5/8 in

Product Description

The PARKER 151F-10-8 is a brass male run tee fitting designed for flared tube connections in refrigeration, HVAC, and fluid-transfer applications. It connects 5/8-inch OD tubing using a 45-degree SAE flare on both tube ends, with a 1/2-14 NPTF male pipe thread on the branch outlet. Rated to 650 psi maximum working pressure and 250 degrees F, this fitting handles the pressure and temperature demands common in refrigerant line sets and hydraulic service work. Licensed HVAC technicians and plumbers install this type of fitting when a branch takeoff is required in a flared tubing run without cutting and reswaging the main line.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial HVAC systems, refrigeration equipment, and pneumatic or hydraulic lines where SAE 45-degree flare connections are standard. The male NPT branch threads into a valve, manifold, or ported component, while the in-line flare ends maintain continuity along the main tubing run. Typical applications include refrigerant distribution manifolds, fuel gas service, and pressurized fluid systems where brass construction is acceptable for the fluid media.

Key Features

• 45-degree SAE flare tube ends comply with SAE J512 and SAE J513 standards
• 1/2-14 NPTF male pipe thread branch connection seals without a separate sealant when mated to a matched NPTF port
• Rated to 650 psi maximum working pressure for demanding refrigerant and fluid service
• Maximum working temperature of 250 degrees F (121 degrees C) suits most HVAC and refrigeration environments
• Brass construction provides corrosion resistance and compatibility with common refrigerants and fluids
• UL Listed; meets SAE J512, SAE J513 standards

Compatibility

Designed as a standard SAE 45-degree flare male run tee for use with 5/8-inch OD tubing and 1/2-14 NPTF ported components in refrigeration, HVAC, and fluid-transfer systems where SAE J512 and SAE J513 flare fittings are specified.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed HVAC technician or plumber. Depressurize and recover any refrigerant or fluid from the system before opening flare connections. Ensure tubing ends are cut cleanly, deburred, and flared to the correct 45-degree angle using a calibrated flaring tool before assembly. Tighten flare nuts to fitting spec using two wrenches to prevent tube rotation; do not overtighten brass fittings.
