Parker 165CA-16 Compression Tube Union 1 in Brass 350 Psi

Product Description

The PARKER 165CA-16 is a brass compression tube union designed to join two runs of tubing with matching compression fittings on both ends. It accepts tubing with a 1 inch outside diameter and creates a secure, leak-resistant inline connection without soldering or threading. Rated to 350 psi maximum working pressure and suitable for temperatures from -65 degrees F to 250 degrees F, this fitting handles a wide range of fluid and gas service conditions. It is installed by plumbers, HVAC technicians, and pipefitters in applications where a removable inline union connection is required.

This compression union is appropriate for residential and light commercial plumbing, refrigeration tubing, instrument lines, and general fluid handling systems where copper or compatible soft tubing is used. The compression-by-compression end configuration allows connection of two tube ends in a straight inline run. Its brass construction suits potable water, hydraulic, and pneumatic service within the rated temperature and pressure limits.
