Parker 164CA-8 Compression Tube Union Tee Brass

Product Description

The PARKER 164CA-8 is a brass compression tube union tee fitting designed for fluid and gas distribution systems in HVAC, plumbing, and industrial applications. It features three compression end connections arranged in a tee configuration with an 11/16-20 NPTF thread size. Rated to 750 psi maximum working pressure and capable of operating across a temperature range of -65 degrees F to 250 degrees F, this fitting is built for demanding service conditions. Licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and pipefitters install this type of fitting when a branch takeoff is needed in a compression-style tubing run without soldering or threading the tube itself.

The 164CA-8 is suited for residential and light commercial systems where compression fittings are specified for copper or compatible soft tubing lines. Its tee shape allows a single inline run to split or branch to a third connection point. The overall installed length of 1.15 inches keeps the assembly compact in tight mechanical spaces. This fitting is commonly found in refrigeration line sets, hydronic distribution, and instrumentation tubing applications where a leak-free mechanical joint is required.

Key Features

• Tee configuration with three compression end connections for branch takeoff in tubing runs
• Brass construction provides corrosion resistance and durability in fluid and gas service
• Rated to 750 psi maximum working pressure
• Wide service temperature range: -65 degrees F to 250 degrees F
• 11/16-20 NPTF thread size for precise, leak-resistant engagement
• Compact overall length of 1.15 inches suits restricted installation spaces

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style compression union tee for use in compression-fitting tubing systems requiring a three-way branch connection in HVAC, plumbing, refrigeration, and instrumentation applications.

Installation Notes

This fitting is typically installed by licensed plumbers or HVAC technicians. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before removing or installing any compression fitting. Ensure tubing ends are cut cleanly and deburred before seating the ferrule to achieve a proper seal. Follow applicable IPC or IFGC guidelines and local codes for compression fitting use in pressurized systems.
