It features compression-style end connections on all three ports, allowing secure, tool-assisted tube attachment without soldering or flaring. Rated to 2800 psi maximum working pressure and capable of handling temperatures from -65 degrees F to 250 degrees F, this fitting suits demanding environments where leak-free performance is critical. The compact overall length of 0.84 inches makes it suitable for installations with limited space. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and instrumentation mechanics routinely specify compression fittings of this type for copper and compatible tubing runs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 164CA-2 is used in residential and light commercial plumbing, refrigeration, pneumatic control lines, and hydraulic instrument tubing. Its tee configuration allows a single inline run to branch to a third port, which is common in manifold-style installations, bypass loops, and sampling lines. The 5\/16-24 thread size and NPTF thread standard make it compatible with standard compression tube fittings in that size range. Brass construction provides corrosion resistance suitable for water, air, and many hydraulic fluids.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTee-body configuration with compression connections on all three ports\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRated to 2800 psi maximum working pressure\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOperating temperature range from -65 degrees F to 250 degrees F\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBrass construction for corrosion resistance across a wide range of media\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact 0.84-inch overall length for tight installation clearances\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNPTF thread standard at 5\/16-24 thread size\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or direct-install compression tee union for tube lines using 5\/16-24 NPTF compression fittings in plumbing, HVAC, and fluid instrumentation applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation of compression fittings is typically performed by licensed plumbers or HVAC technicians. Depressurize and drain the line fully before disassembly or fitting installation. Compression fittings require correct tube preparation — ensure tube ends are cut square and free of burrs before seating the ferrule. Do not overtighten; follow the fitting manufacturer's recommended turn-past-finger-tight practice to avoid ferrule damage and fitting failure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Union\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Shape\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tee\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Connections\u003c\/strong\u003e: Compression x Compression x Compression\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/16-24\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: NPTF\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Working Pressure\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2800 psi\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Temperature\u003c\/strong\u003e: 250 degrees F\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Temperature\u003c\/strong\u003e: -65 degrees F\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.84 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: PARKER\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 164CA-2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PARKER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51543355916594,"sku":"164CA-2","price":25.54,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/49251f1075954bd0aac5a904d0301b6a.jpg?v=1785916980","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/parker-164ca-2-brass-compression-tee-union-5-16-24","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
