Parker VS272AB-4-4 Compression Male Branch Tee Brass

Product Description

The PARKER VS272AB-4-4 is a brass compression tube male branch tee designed for use in pneumatic and hydraulic tubing systems where a branch connection is required in a compact inline configuration. It features Compression x Compression x Male NPT (MNPT) end connections with a 1/4-18 NPTF thread, allowing a threaded port branch off a compression tube run. Rated to 400 psi maximum working pressure and suitable for temperatures ranging from -65 degrees F to 250 degrees F, this fitting is built for demanding service environments. It meets D.O.T. FMVSS571.106 and SAE J246 standards. Licensed trades and fleet mechanics working on brake and fuel line systems are the primary installers.

This fitting is suited for residential and commercial applications requiring a reliable branch tee connection in compression tube assemblies. It is commonly used in brake line systems, refrigeration tubing, HVAC controls, and pneumatic distribution circuits where a male NPT branch outlet is needed alongside two inline compression connections. The 1/4-18 NPTF thread ensures a pressure-tight, dryseal engagement without the need for additional sealant on the threaded port.

Key Features

• Compression x Compression x MNPT configuration for inline tee branch routing
• 1/4-18 NPTF dryseal thread for pressure-tight connection without sealant
• 400 psi maximum working pressure rating
• Operating temperature range of -65 degrees F to 250 degrees F
• Brass construction for corrosion resistance in fluid and pneumatic service
• Meets D.O.T. FMVSS571.106 and SAE J246 standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for compression tube systems requiring a male branch tee with 1/4-18 NPTF thread in brass construction.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed technician or qualified mechanic familiar with compression fitting assemblies and applicable codes. Depressurize and isolate the tubing circuit completely before disassembly or fitting installation. Do not overtighten compression fittings; follow standard compression sleeve engagement practices and verify a leak-free connection before returning the system to service. For brake line applications, compliance with D.O.T. FMVSS571.106 requirements must be confirmed for the complete assembly.
