Parker VS272NTA-3-2 Compression Male Branch Tee 3/16

Product Description

The PARKER VS272NTA-3-2 is a brass compression tube male branch tee designed for use in instrumentation, fluid transfer, and pneumatic tubing systems. This fitting provides two compression end connections and one male NPT threaded port, allowing a branch takeoff from a compression tube run to a threaded port or component. It is rated for a maximum working pressure of 150 psi and handles temperatures from -40 degrees F up to 200 degrees F. The brass construction provides corrosion resistance suitable for a wide range of media. Licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and instrumentation technicians install this type of fitting in both residential and light commercial applications.

This fitting is suited for 3/16 inch outside diameter tubing installations where a branch connection to a male NPT threaded port is required. Common applications include refrigeration controls, pneumatic control lines, fuel systems, and hydraulic instrument tubing runs. The NPTF thread standard ensures a pressure-tight seal at the threaded connection. Sold individually, it is well suited for service work requiring a single replacement fitting or for new construction requiring precise quantities.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-install fitting for compression tube systems using 3/16 inch outside diameter tubing with a 1/8 inch male NPT threaded branch port.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber, HVAC technician, or instrumentation technician. Always depressurize and isolate the tubing system before disassembly or fitting replacement. Compression fittings require proper tube end prep — ensure tubing is cut square and deburred before seating into the fitting body. Apply appropriate thread sealant or tape to the MNPT port in accordance with system requirements and applicable plumbing codes.
