Parker VS271NTA-8-8 Brass Compression Male Run Tee

Product Description

The PARKER VS271NTA-8-8 is a brass compression male run tee designed for use in fluid and pneumatic line assemblies where a branch connection must be made along a straight run of tubing. The tee features compression fittings on both run ends and a male NPTF threaded branch port, allowing a technician to tap into an existing line without cutting and re-routing. Rated to 150 psi maximum working pressure and suitable for temperatures from -40 degrees F to 200 degrees F, this fitting handles the temperature swings common in mobile equipment, refrigeration, and industrial plumbing applications. Constructed from brass for corrosion resistance and leak-free performance at rated pressures.

This fitting is suited for use in hydraulic brake, fuel, and air line assemblies on vehicles and stationary equipment where D.O.T. and SAE standards govern the installation. The 1/2-inch thread size and compression-style end connections make it a practical choice for copper or compatible plastic tubing runs in HVAC, refrigeration, and mobile equipment service work. Licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and fleet maintenance mechanics are the primary installers. The fitting is packaged individually and sold in single-unit quantities.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with compression fitting procedures and applicable codes. Shut off all fluid or air supply and relieve system pressure completely before disassembling any line. Ensure tubing ends are cut cleanly and squarely and that the compression sleeve is seated correctly before tightening the compression nut. Do not overtighten; follow the fitting manufacturer's standard compression fitting assembly practice for the tubing material in use.
