Parker 3-3-2 Sbz-ss Compression Male Branch Tee Ss

Product Description

The PARKER 3-3-2 SBZ-SS is a stainless steel compression tube male branch tee designed for high-pressure fluid and gas distribution systems. It connects two compression tube runs to a male NPT threaded port, allowing a branch takeoff in a single fitting. The tube outside diameter is 3/16 inches, and the maximum working pressure rating is 10300 psi. The stainless steel body resists corrosion in aggressive media, making it a reliable choice for instrumentation, refrigeration, hydraulic, and pneumatic tubing circuits. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and instrumentation mechanics install this fitting where a tee connection is needed without welding or flaring.

This fitting is suited for residential and commercial applications that require a durable, leak-resistant branch connection in copper, stainless, or compatible instrument tubing. Typical install scenarios include instrumentation manifolds, process control tubing runs, pneumatic control lines, and refrigerant or hydraulic sub-circuits where stainless material is specified for corrosion resistance or cleanliness requirements. The MNPT port allows direct threaded connection to a valve, gauge, or equipment body.

Key Features

• Stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in demanding service environments
• Compression x Compression x MNPT end connections for tool-accessible, no-solder installation
• 3/16 inch tube outside diameter accommodates standard instrument tubing
• 10300 psi maximum working pressure rating for high-pressure service
• Male NPT branch port for direct connection to threaded equipment or valves
• Compact single-piece tee body reduces potential leak points versus multi-fitting assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style compression fitting for use with 3/16 inch outside diameter instrument or process tubing in systems requiring stainless steel construction and MNPT branch connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified plumber, HVAC technician, or instrumentation mechanic familiar with compression fitting assembly. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before removing or installing any fitting. Hand-tighten the compression nut onto the tubing ferrule, then turn an additional fractional turn with a wrench per the fitting manufacturer guidelines — do not overtighten. Thread sealant or tape appropriate for the service media should be applied to the MNPT threads in accordance with local codes and the system fluid compatibility requirements.
