Parker VS272NTA-6-2 Compression Male Branch Tee 1/8 in

Product Description

The PARKER VS272NTA-6-2 is a brass compression tube male branch tee designed for instrumentation and fluid system plumbing applications. It provides a three-way branch connection using compression fittings on two ports and a 1/8 inch MNPT threaded port on the branch outlet. Rated for a maximum working pressure of 150 psi and a temperature range of -40 degrees F to 200 degrees F, this fitting handles common low-pressure pneumatic and liquid service lines. The brass construction offers corrosion resistance in a wide range of fluid media. Licensed plumbers and instrumentation technicians are the typical installers for this type of fitting.

This male branch tee fits applications where a tubing run must be teed off with a threaded male connection for sensors, gauges, or secondary line connections. The compression ends accept tubing with an inside diameter of 0.217 inches. It is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC controls, and pneumatic instrument lines where a reliable, leak-resistant branch connection is required. The NPTF thread standard ensures a pressure-tight seal on the male NPT port without reliance on sealant alone, though tape or thread sealant is common practice.

Key Features

• Brass construction for corrosion resistance in common fluid and pneumatic service
• Compression x Compression x MNPT end connections for tool-free tubing attachment on two ports
• 1/8 inch NPTF male threaded branch outlet for gauge or sensor connections
• 150 psi maximum working pressure
• Wide service temperature range: -40 degrees F to 200 degrees F
• Compact branch tee configuration minimizes space requirements in tight installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation compression branch tee for tubing systems with an inside diameter of 0.217 inches and 1/8 inch NPT threaded connections in low-pressure fluid or pneumatic service.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or instrumentation technician. Shut off all fluid or air supply and relieve system pressure fully before removing or installing any compression fitting. Ensure tubing ends are cut square and deburred before seating into the compression ferrule. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to the MNPT port in accordance with applicable plumbing codes such as the IPC or IFGC for gas-adjacent systems.
