Parker VS271NTA-8-6 Compression Male Run Tee 3/8 in Brass

Product Description

The PARKER VS271NTA-8-6 is a brass compression tube male run tee designed for fluid and pneumatic line connections in demanding trade applications. It features a Compression x MNPT x Compression end configuration, allowing technicians to branch off a compression tube run while maintaining a male NPT port for inline connections. The fitting carries a 3/8 inch thread size with NPTF thread standard, a maximum working pressure of 150 psi, and a service temperature range of -40 degrees F to 200 degrees F. Licensed plumbers, HVAC mechanics, and fleet service technicians install this fitting in refrigerant, air brake, and fluid transfer systems where DOT-rated hardware is required.

This fitting is suited for residential and commercial applications involving compressed air, hydraulic, or fluid lines where a reliable branch connection is needed. Its DOT FMVSS571.106 rating makes it appropriate for vehicle brake and air system installations. The SAE J1131 and SAE J246 certifications confirm compliance with standards commonly required in automotive and heavy equipment service environments. The all-brass construction handles corrosive media and resists the temperature extremes common in mobile and stationary system installations.

Key Features

• Compression x MNPT x Compression end connections for inline branch fitting
• Brass construction for corrosion resistance and durability across fluid and air service
• 150 psi maximum working pressure
• Operating temperature range of -40 degrees F to 200 degrees F
• Meets DOT FMVSS571.106, SAE J1131, and SAE J246 standards
• NPTF thread standard for pressure-tight thread engagement

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service fitting for compression tube systems requiring a male run tee with NPTF thread, rated to DOT FMVSS571.106 specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber, HVAC technician, or qualified fleet mechanic. Depressurize and isolate the line completely before removing any existing fittings or making new connections. Compression fittings require proper tube squareness and full ferrule seating — do not overtighten. Verify thread engagement meets NPTF sealing requirements and confirm system pressure does not exceed the 150 psi rating after reinstating service.
