Parker VS272NTA-4-2 Compression Male Branch Tee 1/8 in

Product Description

The PARKER VS272NTA-4-2 is a brass compression tube male branch tee designed for use in fluid and pneumatic tubing systems where a branch connection is required at a male NPT port. The fitting provides three end connections: two compression ports and one male NPTF threaded port, allowing a branch line to be teed off from a main compression run. Rated to 150 psi maximum working pressure and suitable for temperatures from -40 degrees F to 200 degrees F, this fitting is built to meet D.O.T. FMVSS571.106, SAE J1131, and SAE J246 standards. It weighs approximately 0.09 pounds and suits applications requiring a compact, reliable branch connection.

This fitting is used in automotive, commercial vehicle, and industrial fluid line assemblies where a compression tube branch must connect to an MNPT port. It is appropriate for brake, fuel, and hydraulic line systems that must comply with D.O.T. and SAE specifications. Licensed technicians and fleet maintenance professionals working on air brake or hydraulic tubing circuits are the primary installers. The 1/8 inch thread size makes it suitable for smaller-diameter tubing branch applications in tight plumbing layouts.

Key Features

• Brass construction for corrosion resistance in fluid and pneumatic service
• Compression x Compression x MNPT end connections enable direct branch tee off a main compression run
• 150 psi maximum working pressure rating
• Operating temperature range of -40 degrees F to 200 degrees F
• Meets D.O.T. FMVSS571.106, SAE J1131, and SAE J246 standards
• NPTF thread standard for pressure-tight thread engagement without sealant dependency

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style compression tube branch tee fitting for fluid and pneumatic tubing systems requiring a 1/8 inch MNPT branch port connection in D.O.T.- and SAE-compliant installations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with D.O.T. brake and fluid line regulations. Depressurize and isolate the relevant fluid or air circuit completely before disassembling any fittings. Ensure compression ferrules are properly seated on the tubing before tightening compression nuts. Do not overtighten NPTF threads; follow applicable SAE and D.O.T. torque guidance for the tubing and fitting size in use.
