Parker VS272AB-6-6 Compression Male Branch Tee Brass

Product Description

The PARKER VS272AB-6-6 is a brass compression tube male branch tee designed for use in fluid and pneumatic line assemblies where a reliable three-way connection is required. It connects via compression fittings on two ports and a male NPT thread on the third, making it a practical solution for branching hydraulic or pneumatic tubing runs. Rated to 400 psi maximum working pressure, this fitting handles temperatures from -65 degrees F to 250 degrees F. It meets D.O.T. FMVSS571.106 and SAE J246 standards, which makes it appropriate for commercial vehicle brake and air line systems as well as general industrial tubing applications. Licensed tradespeople and fleet maintenance technicians are the typical installers.

This male branch tee is suited for light- to medium-duty fluid and air line applications in commercial vehicles, mobile equipment, and industrial plumbing systems. The compression-by-compression-by-MNPT configuration allows the fitting to integrate into existing tubing runs without soldering or special tooling beyond a standard compression fitting wrench. Its brass construction resists corrosion in the wet, vibration-prone environments common to vehicle undercarriage and industrial panel plumbing. The 0.314 inch inside diameter supports consistent flow through the branch connection.

Key Features

• Compression x Compression x MNPT end connections for tool-free tubing integration
• 400 psi maximum working pressure for medium-duty pneumatic and hydraulic service
• Operating temperature range of -65 degrees F to 250 degrees F
• Brass construction for corrosion resistance in wet and mobile environments
• Meets D.O.T. FMVSS571.106 and SAE J246 standards for commercial vehicle applications
• 3/8-18 NPTF thread size for secure, leak-resistant male threaded connection

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-install compression branch tee for commercial vehicle air brake systems and industrial tubing assemblies requiring a 3/8-18 NPTF male branch tee with compression tube connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with compressed air or hydraulic line work. Depressurize and isolate the line completely before disassembling any existing fittings. Compression fittings require proper tube preparation — cut tubing square and deburr before inserting into the fitting body. Verify thread engagement on the MNPT port meets applicable standards such as SAE J246 before returning the system to service.
