1/4" OD Tube Compression X 1/8" Male NPT Pipe Thread Branch Tee Forged Brass
1/4" OD Tube Compression X 1/8" Male NPT Pipe Thread Branch Tee Forged Brass
1/4" Compression x 1/8" Male NPT Brass Branch Tee – Forged Brass Compression Tube Fitting – 300 PSI
This 1/4" Compression x 1/8" Male NPT Brass Branch Tee is designed to create a secure branch connection in compressed air, water, oil, fuel, and other low- to medium-pressure fluid systems. The straight-through section features 1/4" compression tube connections, while the branch outlet is equipped with 1/8" Male NPT threads, making it ideal for installing gauges, pressure switches, regulators, valves, and other threaded components directly into a tubing system.
Manufactured from forged brass, this tee offers excellent strength, corrosion resistance, and long service life. The compression ends provide a reliable leak-resistant seal without the need for flaring, making installation quick and straightforward when used with compatible copper, aluminum, or thermoplastic tubing.
Commonly used in air compressor plumbing, pneumatic controls, instrumentation systems, hydraulic equipment, lubrication systems, and industrial fluid transfer applications.

Important Note
Compression fittings are sized by the outside diameter (OD) of the tubing they are designed to fit. A 1/4" compression fitting fits 1/4" OD tubing.
Male NPT threads are measured by nominal pipe size—not by the actual outside diameter of the threads. A 1/8" Male NPT thread measures approximately 3/8" outside diameter.
This fitting is intended for use with compatible compression tubing and standard female 1/8" NPT threaded ports. Thread sealant or PTFE tape should be used on the NPT threads only. Do not use thread sealant on the compression connections.
