Parker 4-4-2 Sbz-ss Compression Male Branch Tee 1/4 in Ss

Product Description

The PARKER 4-4-2 SBZ-SS is a stainless steel compression tube male branch tee designed to create a three-way branch connection in high-pressure tubing systems. It accepts 1/4 inch outside diameter tubing on both compression ends and threads into a male NPT port on the branch outlet. With a maximum working pressure of 10,300 psi, this fitting is built for demanding instrumentation, hydraulic, and process fluid applications. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and instrumentation technicians install this type of fitting where leak-tight, reusable tube connections are required without soldering or welding.

This fitting suits residential and commercial applications where stainless steel corrosion resistance is required, such as pneumatic control lines, instrument tubing runs, refrigeration sensing lines, and chemical process piping. The male NPT branch outlet allows direct threaded connection into a valve body, manifold, or equipment port. Its compact branch-tee geometry is well suited for tight panel or enclosure installations where routing multiple tube lines from a single port is necessary.

Key Features

• Stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance for aggressive media and outdoor environments
• 10,300 psi maximum working pressure rated for high-pressure instrumentation and process systems
• 1/4 inch OD compression connections on both run ends for tool-assisted, leak-tight tube grip
• Male NPT branch outlet for direct threaded connection into equipment ports or manifolds
• Reusable compression design allows disassembly and reassembly without replacing the fitting body

Compatibility

Designed for use with 1/4 inch outside diameter tubing in compression-style tube fitting systems using male NPT branch connections. Verify tubing material and wall thickness ratings are consistent with the system working pressure before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified pipefitters, plumbers, or instrumentation technicians. Depressurize and isolate the tubing system fully before disassembling or installing any compression fitting. Use appropriate tube cutters and deburring tools to ensure square, clean tube ends for proper ferrule seating. Thread the MNPT branch outlet to system requirements using suitable thread sealant compatible with the process media, following applicable plumbing or instrumentation codes.
