Parker 164CA-4 Compression Tube Union Tee Brass 1400 Psi

Product Description

The PARKER 164CA-4 is a brass compression tube union tee fitting designed for fluid and pneumatic line connections in trade and industrial plumbing applications. It features three compression end connections arranged in a tee configuration, allowing a single branch point in a compression tubing run. The fitting is rated to 1400 psi maximum working pressure and handles temperatures from -65 degrees F to 250 degrees F. The 7/16-24 thread size follows NPTF thread standards. Plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians working with compression tubing systems install this fitting where a three-way branch connection is required without soldering or flaring.

This fitting is suited for residential and commercial plumbing, refrigeration, and pneumatic tubing systems where compression-style connections are specified. Its brass construction resists corrosion in water and light fluid service. The tee shape makes it appropriate for branching supply lines or instrumentation tubing runs. The compact overall length of 0.84 inches allows installation in tight spaces where larger fittings would not fit. Compression fittings of this type are commonly used in instrumentation, fuel systems, and hydraulic or pneumatic control lines.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style compression tube union tee for use in compression tubing systems requiring a 7/16-24 NPTF thread fitting with three compression end connections.

Installation Notes

Installation of compression fittings should be performed by a licensed plumber, pipefitter, or qualified HVAC technician. Shut off system pressure and depressurize the line completely before disassembly or installation. Ensure tubing ends are cut cleanly and squarely and are free of burrs before seating into the compression ferrule. Do not overtighten compression nuts, as this can deform the ferrule and cause leaks.
