The fitting features compression connections on two ports and a 1\/4-18 NPTF male threaded port on the branch. Constructed from brass, it handles working pressures up to 1000 psi and a temperature range of -65 to 250 degrees F. Licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and refrigeration mechanics install this type of fitting in instrument tubing, control line, and process piping applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis fitting is suited for residential and light commercial systems where a branch connection is needed in a compression tube run. Typical install scenarios include instrument air lines, refrigerant or oil pilot lines, and hydraulic control circuits that require both a tubing branch and an NPT port in the same assembly. The Compression x Compression x MNPT end configuration allows the tech to maintain a continuous tube run while tapping off to a threaded component such as a gauge, valve, or solenoid.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/4-18 NPTF male branch port ensures a pressure-tight thread form on the NPT side\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompression x Compression x MNPT end connections support a continuous tube run with a threaded branch-off\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBrass construction provides corrosion resistance in air, water, and many fluid service applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRated to 1000 psi maximum working pressure for use in moderate- to high-pressure lines\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWide service temperature range of -65 to 250 degrees F covers most HVAC, refrigeration, and instrumentation environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style compression fitting for use in instrument, pneumatic, hydraulic, and fluid distribution tubing systems requiring a male branch tee configuration with NPTF thread.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber, HVAC technician, or qualified mechanic familiar with compression fittings and NPTF threaded connections. Depressurize and isolate the line completely before disassembly or fitting installation. Ensure the tubing end is cut square, deburred, and fully seated in the compression sleeve before tightening the nut. NPTF threads are self-sealing by thread form; verify thread engagement is correct before pressurizing the system.\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: 1000 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\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\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-6-4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PARKER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51542420881714,"sku":"172CA-6-4","price":28.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/5aaba8ec9e02013cb2f21b6bc0af869f.jpg?v=1785900133","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/parker-172ca-6-4-compression-male-branch-tee-brass","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
