Parker 164CA-10 Brass Compression Tee Union 650 Psi

Product Description

The PARKER 164CA-10 is a brass compression tee union fitting designed for three-way tube connections in fluid and gas distribution systems. It features a 13/16-18 NPTF thread and triple compression end connections, making it suitable for joining three lines at a single junction point. Rated to 650 psi maximum working pressure, it handles a broad temperature range from -65 degrees F to 250 degrees F. The all-brass construction provides corrosion resistance and reliable sealing in demanding plumbing, HVAC, and industrial fluid-handling applications. Licensed plumbers and mechanical contractors are the primary installers of this type of fitting.

This fitting is used in residential and light commercial installations where a tee-style compression union is needed to branch or join tubing runs. Common applications include refrigeration line sets, hydraulic supply lines, compressed air distribution, and potable water systems where solderless connections are required or preferred. The compression-style ends allow for tool-assisted, repeatable connections without flame or specialized equipment. At 1.32 inches overall length, it fits in tight spaces where a compact union is needed.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style compression tee union for use in plumbing, HVAC, refrigeration, and industrial fluid-handling systems requiring a three-way compression connection at 13/16-18 NPTF thread size.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or mechanical contractor following applicable IPC or IFGC guidelines. Shut off and depressurize the line completely before disassembling or installing any compression fitting. Ensure tubing ends are cut cleanly and deburred before seating in the compression nuts to achieve a proper seal. Do not overtighten compression nuts, as this can deform the ferrule and compromise the connection.
