It connects two compression tube ends with a 3\/4-14 NPTF male pipe thread on the branch port. Constructed from brass, this fitting handles working pressures up to 550 psi and temperatures ranging from -65 degrees F to 250 degrees F. It is used in hydraulic, pneumatic, and fluid distribution lines where a reliable inline branch connection is needed. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians install this type of fitting during system assembly or service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis fitting is suited for residential and commercial plumbing, refrigeration, and instrumentation applications where a compression-to-compression run with a male NPT branch outlet is required. The NPTF thread standard provides a pressure-tight mechanical seal without relying on sealant alone, making it appropriate for moderate-pressure fluid and gas lines. It is a single-piece, no-weld solution for branch connections in copper or compatible tubing systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBrass construction for corrosion resistance and durability in fluid service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEnd connections: Compression x Compression x MNPT for versatile inline branch routing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/4-14 NPTF thread standard for pressure-tight branch port seal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRated to 550 psi maximum working pressure\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWide temperature range: -65 degrees F to 250 degrees F\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNo-weld installation reduces labor time during assembly or repair\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or direct-install brass compression male branch tee for systems using 3\/4-14 NPTF threaded branch outlets with compression tube run connections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC and IFGC code requirements. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before removing or installing any fitting. Hand-tighten the compression nuts first, then tighten to the appropriate turn count per the tube and fitting manufacturer guidance — do not overtighten, as brass compression fittings can be deformed. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to the NPTF branch port threads as required by system media and local code.\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: 3\/4-14 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: 550 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: 172CA-12-12\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PARKER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51539547816242,"sku":"172CA-12-12","price":83.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/718bea7d37b60ba8c9964736eb0c3f71.jpg?v=1785842793","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/parker-172ca-12-12-compression-male-branch-tee-brass","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
