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

Product Description

The PARKER 4-4-4 SBZ-SS is a stainless steel compression tube male branch tee designed for high-pressure fluid and gas line applications. This fitting connects two compression tube runs to a male NPT threaded outlet, creating a branch in a tubing system without welding or flaring. End connections are compression on two ports and a 1/4-inch male NPT on the branch. Maximum working pressure reaches 10,300 psi, making this fitting suitable for demanding hydraulic, instrumentation, and process lines. Licensed HVAC technicians, plumbers, and instrumentation technicians install this type of fitting during equipment installation or service of high-pressure systems.

This tee fitting is used in residential and commercial applications where stainless steel corrosion resistance is required, such as refrigerant instrumentation lines, compressed air systems, hydraulic circuits, and chemical process tubing. The MNPT branch outlet allows connection to threaded valves, gauges, or manifold ports. At 2.12 inches overall length, it is compact enough for tight panel or equipment enclosure installations where space is limited.

Key Features

• Maximum working pressure of 10,300 psi for high-pressure system use
• Stainless steel construction meets ASTM-B-453 and ASTM-B16 standards
• Compression x Compression x MNPT end connections eliminate the need for welding or flaring
• 1/4-inch male NPT thread on branch outlet for direct connection to gauges, valves, or manifolds
• Compact overall length of 2.12 inches suits tight installation spaces
• Tee shape enables in-line branch routing without additional fittings

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style compression tube fitting for high-pressure tubing systems requiring stainless steel construction and NPT threaded branch connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber, pipefitter, or instrumentation technician familiar with compression fitting assembly. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before removing or installing any fittings. Compression fittings require proper ferrule seating — do not overtighten, as this can deform the ferrule and compromise the seal. Verify that all tubing is cut square and deburred before insertion into the fitting body.
