Parker GBMT-222 Compression Male Branch Tee 1/8 Inch

Product Description

The PARKER GBMT-222 is a compression-style male branch tee fitting designed for tubing with a 1/8 inch outside diameter. Constructed from Perfluoroalkoxy (PFA) and Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), this fitting delivers strong chemical resistance and is well suited for fluid handling applications where corrosive media, high-purity requirements, or aggressive process chemicals are present. The plastic grip compression mechanism allows secure, leak-resistant connections without the need for additional sealants or thread tape. Licensed plumbers, instrumentation technicians, and industrial service professionals typically install this type of fitting in low-pressure tubing systems.

This fitting is appropriate for use in applications that require reliable tube-to-male-thread branch connections, including instrumentation lines, pneumatic control circuits, chemical dosing systems, and laboratory fluid distribution. The male branch tee configuration allows a single inline tube run to branch off to a male-threaded port simultaneously, reducing the need for additional adapters. It is suited for both light industrial and OEM equipment installations where PFA or PTFE wetted materials are specified for chemical compatibility.

Key Features

• PFA and PTFE construction provides excellent resistance to a wide range of corrosive and high-purity chemical media
• Compression-style connection on tube ports for tool-friendly, leak-resistant assembly
• Male branch tee configuration enables inline tee with a male-threaded outlet in a single fitting body
• Plastic grip compression mechanism eliminates the need for sealants at tube connections
• 1/8 inch tube OD sizing fits small-bore instrumentation and control tubing
• Sold as individual unit with no minimum order requirement beyond single piece

Compatibility

Designed for use with 1/8 inch outside diameter compression tubing in instrumentation, pneumatic, and chemical fluid handling systems where PFA or PTFE wetted surfaces are required.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified plumber, pipefitter, or instrumentation technician familiar with compression fittings and fluoropolymer components. Always depressurize and drain the tubing circuit completely before disassembly or installation. Hand-tighten the compression nut first, then use an appropriate wrench to achieve a secure connection without overtightening, which can crack plastic compression components. Verify compatibility of all wetted materials with the process fluid before placing the system in service.
