Parker 6-6-6 Sbz-b Compression Male Branch Tee 3/8 in

Product Description

The PARKER 6-6-6 SBZ-B is a brass compression tube male branch tee fitting designed for use in fluid and gas distribution systems requiring a reliable three-port connection. It features compression inlets on two ports and a male NPT (MNPT) threaded outlet on the branch, allowing integration into threaded pipe runs without additional adapters. The fitting carries a maximum working pressure of 2300 psi, making it suitable for demanding hydraulic and pneumatic applications. Constructed from brass, it offers corrosion resistance in a wide range of media. Licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and pipefitters typically install this fitting in instrument lines, control tubing, and process piping systems.

This fitting is used in residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC controls, pneumatic instrumentation, and hydraulic tubing installations where a branch takeoff from an inline compression run is required. The 3/8 inch thread size accommodates standard compression tubing on both inline ports while the MNPT branch connects directly to female-threaded fittings or valves. It is a practical choice for instrument manifolds, pressure sensing lines, and refrigeration control circuits that require a branch connection without cutting into existing threaded assemblies.

Key Features

• Brass construction provides corrosion resistance and durability across a broad range of fluids and gases
• Compression x Compression x MNPT end connections allow a branch takeoff from an inline compression tube run
• 3/8 inch thread size suits common instrumentation and control tubing applications
• Maximum working pressure of 2300 psi supports high-pressure pneumatic and hydraulic service
• Compact male branch tee configuration reduces the need for additional adapters or unions

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-install compression male branch tee fitting for systems using 3/8 inch compression tube connections with a female NPT branch port. The Swagelok equivalent part number is B-600-3-6TTM per supplier data.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber, HVAC technician, or qualified pipefitter following applicable plumbing and mechanical codes. De-pressurize and isolate the line completely before disassembly or fitting installation. Compression fittings require proper tube preparation including clean, square cuts and fully seated tube ends before tightening the compression nut. Do not overtighten compression fittings, as this can deform the ferrule and compromise the seal.
