Peerless Pump 168c-4-2 Brass Gauge Tee 1/8 Mpt 1/4 Od 1/8 Fpt

Product Description

The PEERLESS PUMP 168c-4-2 is a brass gauge tee designed to connect pressure gauges into small-bore piping and tubing systems. It features three ports: a 1/8 inch male pipe thread (MPT) inlet, a 1/4 inch OD compression fitting connection, and a 1/8 inch female pipe thread (FPT) gauge port. The all-brass construction resists corrosion in wet plumbing and pump system environments. This fitting is commonly installed by licensed plumbers and pump service technicians wherever a gauge tap is needed in a compact, mixed-connection assembly.

The 168c-4-2 is suited for residential and light commercial pump systems, pressure boosting assemblies, and plumbing applications where a gauge read-off point must be introduced into a line that transitions between threaded pipe and compression tubing. The tee format allows in-line gauge monitoring without breaking the primary flow path, making it a practical choice for service and diagnostic installations on water systems.

Key Features

• Brass body provides corrosion resistance for wet plumbing and pump applications
• 1/8 inch MPT inlet for direct threaded pipe connection
• 1/4 inch OD compression port accommodates standard soft copper or poly tubing
• 1/8 inch FPT gauge port accepts standard pressure gauge fittings
• Compact tee geometry suits tight installation spaces in pump assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service fitting for small-bore pump and plumbing pressure gauge installations requiring a mixed-thread and compression tee configuration.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pump technician. Shut off system pressure and drain the line before removing or installing any fittings. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to all threaded connections per IPC guidelines. Do not overtighten compression fittings; seat the ferrule by hand and snug with a wrench without excessive force.
