The fitting uses compression connections on two ports and a male NPT thread on the third, making it suitable for routing refrigerant, fuel, or hydraulic lines in tight installations. It is rated for a maximum working pressure of 200 psi and handles temperatures from -65 degrees F to 250 degrees F. The all-brass body provides corrosion resistance and durability in demanding service environments. HVAC technicians, plumbers, and fluid-system installers use this fitting in both residential and light commercial applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis fitting is well suited for copper or compatible tubing runs in refrigeration, air conditioning, and hydraulic systems where a branch takeoff with a threaded port is required. The compression-style end connections allow tool-free tube insertion and reliable sealing without soldering or brazing. The male NPT branch port accepts a wide range of threaded accessories, gauges, or valves. It conforms to SAE J-512 standards, making it appropriate for use in regulated and specification-driven installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBrass construction for corrosion resistance and long service life\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompression x Compression x Male NPT end connections for flexible routing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/4-18 NPTF thread on the male branch port\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRated to 200 psi maximum working pressure\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTemperature range of -65 degrees F to 250 degrees F\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eConforms to SAE J-512 standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style compression branch tee for use with standard compression tubing in refrigeration, HVAC, and hydraulic plumbing systems requiring a male NPT branch outlet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed HVAC technician, plumber, or qualified fluid-systems mechanic. Depressurize and isolate the line before disassembly or fitting installation. Ensure tube ends are cut cleanly and deburred before seating into the compression fittings to achieve a proper seal. Verify thread compatibility and use appropriate thread sealant on the NPTF port if required by the system specification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Male Branch Tee\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 x MNPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4-18 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: 200 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  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandard\u003c\/strong\u003e: SAE J-512\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: 172C-6-4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PARKER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51543898489138,"sku":"172C-6-4","price":22.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/ee01e2c90358f553202217cd3a5f85ac.jpg?v=1785922301","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/parker-172c-6-4-compression-male-branch-tee-1-4-18","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
