Parker PF-00074 Male Swivel Run Tee 3/8 in Od 1/4 in Mnpt Brass

Product Description

The PARKER PF-00074 is a brass male swivel run tee push-to-connect tube fitting designed for quick, tool-free tube connections in pneumatic and fluid transfer systems. It accepts 3/8 inch OD tubing on the run ends with a 1/4 inch male NPT swivel thread on the branch port, rated to 250 psi maximum working pressure. The brass construction handles temperatures from -40 degrees F to 200 degrees F, making it suitable for compressed air, vacuum, and compatible fluid lines. HVAC technicians, plumbers, and industrial maintenance professionals install this fitting where a tee branch to a threaded port is needed without cutting and flaring tube ends.

This fitting is used in residential and light commercial pneumatic control lines, refrigeration equipment ancillary circuits, and general fluid transfer plumbing where 3/8 inch OD tubing meets a 1/4 inch MNPT threaded port. The push-to-connect design allows fast field assembly and reassembly during service calls. The swivel run tee configuration lets the technician align the branch port to the threaded component independently of the tube run, reducing stress on connections in tight equipment enclosures.

• Rated to 250 psi maximum working pressure
• Operating temperature range of -40 degrees F to 200 degrees F
• Meets D.O.T. FMVSS571.106, SAE J2494-3, and SAE J844 standards

Compatibility

Designed for use with 3/8 inch OD tubing systems requiring a 1/4 inch MNPT branch connection in pneumatic, compressed air, or compatible fluid line applications meeting D.O.T. FMVSS571.106, SAE J2494-3, and SAE J844 service requirements.

Installation Notes

Installed by HVAC technicians, plumbers, or industrial mechanics working on pneumatic or fluid transfer systems. Before servicing, depressurize and isolate the line completely. Ensure tubing OD is clean, cut square, and deburred before inserting into the push-to-connect port to achieve a proper seal. Thread the MNPT branch port into the mating fitting by hand first, then tighten appropriately — do not overtighten brass threads into dissimilar fittings.
