Parker VS272NTA-6-4 Brass Compression Male Branch Tee

Product Description

The PARKER VS272NTA-6-4 is a brass compression tube male branch tee designed for use in pneumatic and fluid transfer line applications. It features dual compression end connections and one male NPTF threaded port, allowing a branch takeoff from a continuous compression tube run. Rated to 150 psi maximum working pressure, this fitting handles temperatures from -40 degrees F to 200 degrees F, making it suitable for demanding service environments. The all-brass construction delivers corrosion resistance and durability in air, hydraulic, and compatible fluid systems. HVAC technicians, plumbers, and refrigeration mechanics install this type of fitting when adding branch lines to existing tubing runs without cutting and reconfiguring major sections of plumbing.

This fitting is used in residential and light commercial applications where tubing must branch off a main compression line at a male NPT connection point. Typical installations include control line plumbing, instrument air systems, brake system tubing, and similar low-to-medium pressure tube assemblies. The compression-by-compression-by-MNPT configuration allows inline tapping without welding or flaring. It meets D.O.T. FMVSS571.106, SAE J1131, and SAE J246 standards, confirming suitability for regulated fluid and brake line service.

Key Features

• Dual compression ends with male NPTF branch port for inline tee connections
• 150 psi maximum working pressure for low-to-medium pressure systems
• Operating temperature range of -40 degrees F to 200 degrees F
• Brass construction for corrosion resistance in air and fluid service
• Compliant with D.O.T. FMVSS571.106, SAE J1131, and SAE J246 standards
• 1/4 inch thread size with NPTF thread standard

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation compression branch tee for pneumatic, hydraulic, and fluid transfer systems requiring a 1/4 inch NPTF male branch port with compression tube connections on both run ends.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber, HVAC technician, or qualified mechanic familiar with compression fitting assembly. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before disassembling any existing tubing or fittings. Compression fittings require proper tube preparation — ensure tubing ends are cut square and free of burrs before seating the ferrule. Do not overtighten; follow standard hand-tight-plus-turn procedure appropriate for brass compression fittings per applicable SAE or system manufacturer guidelines.
