Parker 164CA-6-4-4 Brass Compression Tee Fitting

Product Description

The PARKER 164CA-6-4-4 is a brass compression tee union designed for multi-branch tube connections in fluid and gas distribution systems. It features three compression end connections arranged in a tee configuration, allowing a single inline run to branch off to a third port without the need for soldering or flare tooling. Rated for a maximum working pressure of 1400 psi and a temperature range of -65 degrees F to 250 degrees F, this fitting is suited for demanding plumbing, HVAC, and instrumentation applications. Plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians are the typical installers.

This tee fitting is used in residential and light commercial systems where a copper or compatible soft tube line must split into two directions or where a branch tap is needed on a straight run. The all-compression construction makes it well suited for tight spaces or retrofit work where open-flame brazing is not practical. Its wide temperature range supports both chilled-water and higher-temperature hot-water or steam-adjacent service lines, and its 1400 psi pressure rating covers the majority of hydraulic and pneumatic instrumentation circuits as well.

Key Features

• Tee configuration with three compression end connections for tool-free tube branching
• Brass construction for corrosion resistance and durability in wet service environments
• Maximum working pressure of 1400 psi for high-pressure plumbing and instrumentation use
• Operating temperature range of -65 degrees F to 250 degrees F covers a broad range of service conditions
• NPTF thread standard where applicable ensures pressure-tight connections
• No soldering or flaring required, reducing installation time on retrofit and service calls

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style compression tee union for use in plumbing, HVAC, and fluid instrumentation systems that require a three-port compression branch connection in brass construction.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or HVAC technician. Shut off and depressurize the supply line fully before disassembling or connecting fittings. Ensure tube ends are cut cleanly and deburred before seating into the compression ferrule to achieve a leak-free seal. Verify that the tube outside diameter matches the fitting size before assembly, and do not overtighten compression nuts, as brass ferrules can be damaged by excess torque.
