Parker 2224P-8 Male Branch Tee 1/2 Inch Mnptf X Fnptf

Product Description

The PARKER 2224P-8 is a male branch tee fitting designed for industrial pipe systems requiring a split-flow or branch connection in a pressurized line. It features a 1/2-inch male NPT (MNPTF) run connection paired with a 1/2-inch female NPT (FNPTF) branch port, allowing a directional branch off a main line without additional adapters. This fitting is rated to 1,000 psi maximum working pressure and handles temperatures from -65 degrees F to 250 degrees F, making it suitable for demanding hydraulic, pneumatic, and fluid-transfer applications. It meets SAE J530 and SAE J531 standards. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and hydraulic technicians typically specify this component when routing branch lines off a main supply run.

This fitting is commonly used in industrial plumbing, hydraulic systems, and compressed-air distribution where a branch takeoff is needed at the same nominal thread size as the main line. The 1/2-inch MNPTF x FNPTF configuration suits both original-equipment installations and field retrofit work on pressurized pipe assemblies. Its rated pressure of 1,000 psi and wide temperature range make it a practical choice for shop-floor, mobile equipment, and process-piping environments where reliable sealing under load is required.

• 1/2-inch male NPT (MNPTF) and 1/2-inch female NPT (FNPTF) thread connections
• Meets SAE J530 and SAE J531 standards
• Male branch tee configuration enables inline branch takeoff without additional adapters

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or installation fitting for industrial pipe systems using 1/2-inch MNPTF x FNPTF threaded connections rated to 1,000 psi.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber, pipefitter, or qualified hydraulic technician. Depressurize and isolate the system completely before removing any existing fittings or installing this component. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape appropriate for the fluid type and pressure rating before making up the connection. Verify that all connections are leak-free before returning the system to service.
