Parker 2224P-12 Male Branch Tee 3/4 in Brass 1000 Psi

Product Description

The PARKER 2224P-12 is a brass male branch tee designed for industrial pipe assemblies requiring a reliable threaded branch connection. This fitting accepts 3/4 inch male NPT (MNPTF) and 3/4 inch female NPT (FNPTF) connections and is rated for a maximum working pressure of 1,000 psi. The brass construction provides corrosion resistance and durability in demanding fluid and pneumatic systems. Operating temperature range spans -65 degrees F to 250 degrees F, making it suitable for a wide range of service environments. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting in pressurized line applications where a branch takeoff is required without breaking the main run.

This male branch tee is suited for industrial piping systems where a threaded branch outlet is needed from a main line. It is appropriate for use in hydraulic, pneumatic, compressed air, water, and compatible fluid systems operating within its rated pressure and temperature envelope. The MNPTF x FNPTF configuration allows direct male thread engagement on the branch port while maintaining female thread ports on the run ends. It meets SAE J530 and SAE J531 standards, which define requirements for pipe thread fittings used in fluid power and general industrial applications.

Key Features

• Brass construction for corrosion resistance in fluid and pneumatic systems
• 3/4 inch MNPTF x FNPTF thread configuration for standard NPT compatibility
• Wide temperature range: -65 degrees F to 250 degrees F
• Meets SAE J530 and SAE J531 standards
• Compact single-piece tee body for straightforward branch plumbing

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for industrial pipe systems using standard 3/4 inch NPT threaded connections operating within the rated pressure and temperature limits.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter following applicable IPC and local code requirements. Depressurize and isolate the line completely before disassembling any threaded connections. Apply thread sealant appropriate for the media being conveyed and torque to hand-tight plus the number of turns specified for 3/4 inch NPT connections per the sealant manufacturer. Inspect all joints for leaks before returning the system to operating pressure.
