Parker 8-8-6 Sbz-b Compression Male Branch Tee Brass

Product Description

The PARKER 8-8-6 SBZ-B is a brass compression male branch tee fitting designed for reliable fluid and gas line branching in industrial and mechanical systems. It connects two compression-style tube ends with one male NPT threaded port, allowing a single run of tubing to branch off to a third connection point. Rated to 2200 psi maximum working pressure, this fitting handles demanding pressure applications. The all-brass construction resists corrosion and provides good machinability for consistent thread engagement. Compression and pipe fitters working on high-pressure tubing systems select this fitting when a branch connection with a male NPT port is required.

This fitting is suited for use in hydraulic, pneumatic, refrigeration, and instrumentation tubing systems where a tee configuration is needed at a branch point. The male NPT port allows direct connection to a female-threaded valve, manifold, or component body. The compression ends accept tubing without soldering or flaring, making installation faster in tight spaces. It is commonly used in light industrial equipment, HVAC control lines, and process instrumentation plumbing where space and pressure ratings are both considerations.

Key Features

• Male branch tee configuration: two compression ends and one 3/8 inch MNPT port
• Rated to 2200 psi maximum working pressure
• Brass construction for corrosion resistance and reliable thread engagement
• No-solder, no-flare compression connections reduce installation time
• 3/8 inch thread size fits standard male NPT pipe ports
• Compact form factor at 0.32 pounds, suited for tight plumbing runs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-install brass compression male branch tee for industrial, HVAC, and instrumentation tubing systems requiring a 3/8 inch MNPT branch port with compression tube ends. Cross-reference Swagelok part number B-810-3-6TTM for compatibility verification.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified plumber, pipefitter, or instrumentation technician. Shut off and depressurize the line completely before removing or installing any compression fitting. Inspect tubing ends for squareness and deburr before seating the compression ferrule. Follow applicable codes such as ASME B31.1 or B31.3 and the fitting manufacturer torque guidance for compression nut engagement — do not over-tighten, as this can deform the ferrule and compromise the seal.
