Parker 8MBT6N-B Male Branch Tee 3/8 in Mnpt Brass

Product Description

The PARKER 8MBT6N-B is a brass compression tube male branch tee designed for use in fluid and pneumatic distribution lines where a branch connection is needed without cutting or welding the main line. The fitting connects via compression on two ports and male NPT on the branch port, allowing a straight run of tubing to be teed off to a threaded component. Rated to 2200 psi maximum working pressure, this fitting is built for demanding service in hydraulic, refrigeration, and instrumentation applications. The all-brass construction provides corrosion resistance and reliable sealing across a wide range of media.

This fitting is suited for residential and commercial applications where copper or compatible soft-metal tubing must be branched into a male-threaded port. Typical install scenarios include refrigeration piping, pneumatic control lines, fuel gas instrumentation, and hydraulic distribution panels. The 3/8-inch thread size makes it a common choice for HVAC control circuits, compressor lines, and instrumentation runs. It ships individually and is appropriate for single-unit service calls as well as panel builds.

Key Features

• 2200 psi maximum working pressure for high-pressure line service
• Compression x Compression x MNPT end connections for tool-friendly installation without soldering
• 3/8-inch male NPT branch thread for direct connection to threaded valves or manifolds
• Brass construction resists corrosion in wet and refrigerant-exposed environments
• Compact tee geometry maintains flow path while adding a branch takeoff

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for compression tube systems using 3/8-inch male NPT branch connections. Cross-reference Swagelok part number B-810-3-6TTM for equivalent fitment verification.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber, HVAC technician, or qualified pipefitter. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before removing or installing any compression fitting. Ensure tubing ends are cut square and deburred before seating into the compression ferrule. Follow applicable codes including ASME B31 piping standards and local mechanical codes for the intended service fluid and pressure rating.
