The fitting features a Compression x Compression x MNPT end configuration, allowing two compression tube connections inline with a male NPT branch outlet. Thread size is 1\/4-18 NPTF, and the fitting is rated for a maximum working pressure of 150 psi at temperatures up to 150 degrees F. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and industrial piping professionals install this fitting type when splitting or branching a tube line to a threaded port.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis fitting is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, refrigeration line sets, instrumentation tubing, and pneumatic control circuits where a reliable, leak-resistant branch connection is required. The brass body provides corrosion resistance in typical water, air, and oil service environments. The NPTF thread standard ensures a pressure-tight mechanical seal at the male threaded branch without relying solely on thread sealant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompression x Compression x MNPT end connections for inline tube-to-threaded-port branching\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/4-18 NPTF thread size for pressure-tight mechanical seal at the branch outlet\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e150 psi maximum working pressure rating\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOperating temperature range: 0 to 150 degrees F\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBrass body construction for corrosion resistance in water, air, and oil service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTee shape for creating a branch off an existing compression tube run\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation compression tee fitting for systems using 1\/4-18 NPTF threaded ports with compression tube connections in plumbing, HVAC, and pneumatic applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified HVAC technician following applicable IPC or IFGC guidelines. Shut off system pressure and depressurize the line before disassembly or fitting installation. Hand-tighten the compression nuts before applying a final quarter to half turn with a wrench to avoid over-tightening and deforming the ferrule. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the MNPT branch threads per system requirements.\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\u003eFitting Shape\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tee\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Working Pressure\u003c\/strong\u003e: 150 psi\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Temperature\u003c\/strong\u003e: 150 degrees F\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Temperature\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0 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: 172P-4-4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PARKER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51541587722546,"sku":"172P-4-4","price":23.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/b4134aaf0b78e9998cc4b7210a099829.jpg?v=1785880005","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/parker-172p-4-4-compression-male-branch-tee-1-4-18","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
