Parker VS272AB-6-4 Compression Male Branch Tee Brass

Product Description

The PARKER VS272AB-6-4 is a brass compression tube male branch tee designed for fluid and pneumatic line connections in demanding service environments. It features compression inlets on two ports and a male NPT connection on the branch port, allowing technicians to split or branch a compression tube run while transitioning to a threaded fitting in a single unit. Rated to 400 psi maximum working pressure and a temperature range of -65 to 250 degrees F, this fitting is built to handle refrigeration, hydraulic, and pneumatic tubing installations where reliable leak-free connections are required.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial HVAC, refrigeration, and fluid transfer applications where a compression-to-male-NPT branch connection is needed. The tee configuration allows a main compression tube run to continue while a branch port connects to a threaded component such as a valve, sensor, or manifold. It is commonly installed by HVAC technicians, plumbers, and fluid system mechanics working on copper or compatible soft tubing systems.

Key Features

• Brass construction for corrosion resistance and durability in fluid and pneumatic service
• Compression x Compression x MNPT end connections for versatile branch line transitions
• 1/4-18 NPTF thread size on the male branch port
• 400 psi maximum working pressure for reliable performance in pressurized systems
• Wide temperature range of -65 to 250 degrees F for refrigeration and heating applications
• Meets D.O.T. FMVSS571.106 and SAE J246 standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for compression tube branch applications using compatible copper or soft tubing with a 1/4-18 NPTF threaded branch connection point.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified HVAC technician or plumber familiar with compression fittings and threaded NPT connections. Depressurize and isolate the line before beginning work. Compression fittings require proper tube preparation including squarely cut, deburred tubing ends to achieve a leak-free seal. Do not overtighten the compression nut, as brass fittings can be damaged by excessive torque.
