Parker PF-00078 Male Swivel Branch Tee 3/8 in Od Brass

Product Description

The PARKER PF-00078 is a brass male swivel branch tee push-to-connect tube fitting designed for split-flow pneumatic and fluid-line applications. It connects tube to male NPT to tube in a tee configuration, with a swivel branch that simplifies alignment during installation. The fitting accepts 3/8 inch outside diameter tubing and threads into a 3/8 inch male NPT port. Rated to 250 psi maximum working pressure and tested across a temperature range of -40 degrees F to 200 degrees F, it meets DOT FMVSS571.106, SAE J2494-3, and SAE J844 standards. Sold in a package quantity of four units.

This fitting is used in compressed air lines, pneumatic control circuits, and fluid transfer systems where a branch connection point is required without dedicated inline fittings. The swivel branch feature allows rotational adjustment after hand-tightening, which is useful in tight equipment bays or when routing tubing through confined panel enclosures. Typical installers include HVAC technicians, refrigeration mechanics, and pneumatic systems technicians working on light commercial or industrial equipment.

Compatibility

Designed for use with 3/8 inch OD tubing and 3/8 inch male NPT ported equipment in pneumatic and fluid-transfer plumbing systems where push-to-connect branch tee connections are required.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, or pneumatic systems mechanics. Depressurize and isolate the line completely before removing or installing any fitting. Ensure tubing is cut cleanly and squarely and deburred before inserting into the push-to-connect port to achieve a proper seal. Apply appropriate thread sealant to the NPT threads per applicable codes before torquing into the mating port.
