Parker 164PTC-10 Union Tee Fitting 5/8 Inch Od Brass Dot

Product Description

The PARKER 164PTC-10 is a push-to-connect union tee tube fitting designed for tube-to-tube connections in compressed air and pneumatic brake line systems. Constructed from brass, it accepts 5/8-inch OD tubing on all three ports and requires no tools to make a secure, leak-resistant connection. Rated to 250 psi maximum working pressure and certified as a D.O.T. air brake fitting, this tee is built for demanding transport and industrial applications. Nitrile O-rings provide a reliable seal across a temperature range of -40 degrees F to 200 degrees F. Licensed HVAC, plumbing, and diesel technicians install this fitting in air brake and pneumatic control circuits.

The 164PTC-10 is suited for air brake plumbing on commercial vehicles, trailers, and heavy equipment where a tee connection is needed in a 5/8-inch OD tube line. It meets D.O.T. FMVSS571.106, SAE J2494, SAE J2494-3, and SAE J844 standards, making it appropriate for federally regulated air brake system service and repair. The push-to-connect design speeds up installation in tight or hard-to-reach locations where threaded fittings are impractical.

Compatibility

Designed for use with 5/8-inch OD tubing in D.O.T.-compliant air brake systems on commercial vehicles, trailers, and heavy equipment per SAE J844 and SAE J2494 specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with D.O.T. air brake system regulations. Before servicing, depressurize the air system completely and verify system pressure reads zero before disconnecting any fittings. Ensure tubing ends are cut square, deburred, and clean before inserting into the push-to-connect ports. After assembly, pressurize the system and inspect all connections for leaks using an approved leak-detection method.
