Parker VS271NTA-6-4 Compression Male Run Tee 1/4 in

Product Description

The PARKER VS271NTA-6-4 is a brass compression tube male run tee designed for use in fluid and pneumatic line assemblies where a branch connection is needed along a continuous run. The tee features compression connections on both run ends and a male NPT threaded branch outlet, allowing a tube run to continue uninterrupted while also accepting a threaded fitting or component. Rated to 150 psi maximum working pressure and suitable for temperatures ranging from -40 degrees F to 200 degrees F, this fitting is built for demanding service in mobile equipment, brake, and fuel system plumbing. Licensed HVAC technicians, plumbers, and fleet mechanics are the typical installers.

This fitting is used in applications where a compression tube run must be teed off to a male NPT port. Common installations include hydraulic brake lines, pneumatic control circuits, and fuel system plumbing on mobile equipment and commercial vehicles. The D.O.T. FMVSS571.106, SAE J1131, and SAE J246 certifications make this fitting suitable for on-highway and off-highway vehicle brake and fuel line systems. The 1/4 inch thread size covers a wide range of light-duty line assemblies in both residential and commercial service contexts.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber, fleet mechanic, or pneumatic systems technician. Depressurize and drain the line completely before disassembly or fitting installation. Compression fittings require proper tube preparation — ensure tube ends are cut square, deburred, and free of deformation before seating the ferrule. Follow applicable SAE and D.O.T. standards for torque and assembly procedures specific to the system being serviced.
