Parker 264C-3 Brass Compression Tube Union 3/16 in

Product Description

The PARKER 264C-3 is a three-way brass compression tube union designed to join three compression-end tubing runs at a single fitting. It provides a leak-resistant, reusable connection without the need for flare tools or solder. Rated to 400 psi maximum working pressure and suitable for temperatures ranging from -65 degrees F to 250 degrees F, this union is built for reliable performance in demanding fluid and gas line applications. The all-brass construction meets SAE J-512 standards, making it a proven choice for plumbing, HVAC, refrigeration, and fuel system work where tube union fittings are required.

This fitting is used in residential and light commercial applications where three compression-tube lines must be joined at one point. Typical install scenarios include branching fuel lines, hydraulic tubing runs, and refrigeration or pneumatic circuits using 3/16 inch outside diameter tubing. It is commonly installed by licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and fluid power specialists. The compression-by-compression-by-compression end configuration allows connection without brazing or threading into the tube itself.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber, HVAC technician, or fluid power specialist. Depressurize and isolate all connected lines before disassembly or installation. Ensure tubing ends are cut cleanly and deburred before seating the compression ferrule to achieve a proper seal. Follow applicable codes, including IPC and IFGC provisions, for the specific fluid or gas service involved.
