Constructed from brass, this fitting handles working pressures up to 2800 psi and operates across a temperature range of -65 degrees F to 250 degrees F. The NPTF thread standard ensures a pressure-tight, dry-seal connection at the male port. This fitting is installed by licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and instrumentation mechanics in both industrial and commercial service environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 172CA-2-2 is suited for tubing runs in refrigeration, instrumentation, hydraulic, and pneumatic systems where a tee configuration is needed with two compression ends and one male threaded outlet. The 1\/8-27 thread size makes it appropriate for small-bore tubing applications where space and weight are factors. It is commonly found in control line assemblies, gauge connections, and branch supply circuits in commercial and industrial installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBrass construction provides corrosion resistance and compatibility with a wide range of fluid media\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMaximum working pressure of 2800 psi suits high-pressure instrumentation and hydraulic service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWide temperature range of -65 degrees F to 250 degrees F supports refrigeration and steam-adjacent applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNPTF thread standard at the male port delivers a dry-seal, pressure-tight connection without additional sealant on conforming fittings\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTee configuration with Compression x Compression x MNPT end connections allows inline branching with a threaded side outlet in a single fitting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/8-27 thread size fits small-bore tubing assemblies common in control and instrumentation circuits\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for small-bore compression tubing systems requiring a male branch tee with NPTF threaded outlet at the 1\/8-27 thread size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis fitting is typically installed by licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, or instrumentation technicians. Depressurize and isolate the system completely before removing or installing any compression fitting. Ensure tubing ends are cut square, deburred, and free of contamination before seating into the compression ferrule. Follow applicable codes including ASME B31.3 for process piping or relevant system-specific standards, and do not exceed the rated working pressure or temperature for the installed assembly.\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\/8-27 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: NPTF\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Shape\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tee\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: 172CA-2-2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PARKER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51542161424690,"sku":"172CA-2-2","price":25.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/a9d4ba9416b9b1559ce2e651e7fcd399.jpg?v=1785894095","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/parker-172ca-2-2-compression-male-branch-tee-1-8-27","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
