Parker VS272NTA-6-6 Compression Male Branch Tee 3/8 in

Product Description

The PARKER VS272NTA-6-6 is a brass compression tube male branch tee designed for use in fluid and pneumatic line assemblies requiring a reliable three-way split with a threaded branch outlet. The fitting connects two compression tube ends to one male NPT branch port, allowing a single tube run to tap off to a threaded component without cutting the main line. It carries a 3/8 inch tube outside diameter and is rated to 150 psi maximum working pressure. Constructed from brass, it meets D.O.T. FMVSS571.106, SAE J1131, and SAE J246 standards. Licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and fleet service technicians typically install this fitting in low-pressure hydraulic, pneumatic, and fuel line applications.

This fitting is suited for residential, commercial, and mobile equipment applications where a branch connection is needed off an existing compression tube run. The MNPT branch port threads into a valve body, manifold, or panel fitting. The compression ends seat against the tube OD to form a leak-resistant connection without soldering or flaring. Typical install scenarios include brake line assemblies, refrigeration copper tube runs, and instrument tubing manifolds operating within the rated temperature range of -40 degrees F to 200 degrees F.

Key Features

• Brass construction for corrosion resistance in wet and fuel-contact environments
• 3/8 inch tube OD compression ends with MNPT branch outlet
• 150 psi maximum working pressure
• Temperature rated from -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 threaded connections

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service fitting for compression tube assemblies using 3/8 inch OD tubing with a male NPT branch port requirement in plumbing, HVAC, and mobile equipment systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber, HVAC technician, or qualified mechanic. Depressurize and drain the line completely before removing any existing fitting. Compression fittings require no solder or flare tools, but the tube end must be cut cleanly and squarely and deburred before seating. Do not overtighten the compression nut, as this can deform the ferrule and cause a leak or damage the tube.
