It accepts 5\/16-24 inch thread and uses compression-to-compression end connections on both sides, creating a secure, leak-resistant joint without soldering or flaring. Rated for a maximum working pressure of 2800 psi and a temperature range of -65 degrees F to 250 degrees F, this union suits demanding hydraulic, pneumatic, and fluid-transfer applications. HVAC technicians, plumbers, and fluid-system mechanics install this type of fitting when connecting or repairing tubing runs that require a removable, reusable joint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 165CA-2 is suited for residential and commercial applications wherever inline tubing connections are required. Common install scenarios include refrigeration line sets, hydraulic control circuits, pneumatic instrumentation lines, and general-purpose fluid plumbing. The compression-by-compression configuration makes it practical for fieldwork where a torch-free connection method is preferred or required. The NPTF thread standard ensures a pressure-tight mechanical seal. This fitting is typically installed as part of new construction, system modification, or a repair splice in an existing tubing run.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompression x compression end connections on both sides for torch-free installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBrass construction provides corrosion resistance in fluid and refrigerant service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRated to 2800 psi maximum working pressure for high-pressure system use\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWide operating temperature range: -65 degrees F to 250 degrees F\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5\/16-24 thread size with NPTF thread standard for a pressure-tight mechanical seal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eInline union design allows for easy tubing removal and reassembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style compression tube union for hydraulic, pneumatic, refrigeration, and general fluid-transfer tubing systems requiring a 5\/16-24 compression fitting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with compression fitting assembly and the applicable system codes, including NEC or IFGC references where fluid or refrigerant lines intersect mechanical systems. Depressurize and isolate the tubing circuit fully before disassembling or installing this fitting. Hand-tighten the compression nut first, then use an appropriately sized wrench to snug the fitting without overtightening, which can distort the ferrule and compromise the seal. Inspect the tubing end for burrs or ovality before insertion to ensure a proper compression seat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Union\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Connections\u003c\/strong\u003e: Compression x Compression\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/16-24 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: NPTF\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Working Pressure\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2800 psi\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Temperature\u003c\/strong\u003e: 250 degrees F\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Temperature\u003c\/strong\u003e: -65 degrees F\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: PARKER\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 165CA-2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PARKER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51541040300338,"sku":"165CA-2","price":22.93,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/7ced98d67f399996dff1ec4a34740d29_d71414bb-dd3d-49b9-b8fb-9dfb2ae33dcd.jpg?v=1785867689","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/parker-165ca-2-brass-compression-tube-union-5-16-24","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
