Parker A-Lok 4MRT4N-316 316 Stainless Steel Compression Tube Fitting, Run Tee, 1/4" Tube OD x 1/4" Tube OD x 1/4" NPT Male

The Parker A-Lok MRT-316 series compression tube fitting is made of type 316 stainless steel, and connects tubing to threaded pipe conforming to the National Pipe Thread (NPT) standard. This run tee connects to tubing on a run end and the branch, and has a male NPT connector on the remaining run end. This fitting is for a fixed connection between tubing and pipe made of stainless steel. Twin ferrule compression fittings connect to tubing for a leak-resistant seal in high-pressure, high-vacuum, and high-vibration applications, and a male NPT connector connects to threaded pipe. This fitting is made of chemically hardened type 316 stainless steel that provides higher strength and greater corrosion resistance than untreated stainless steel. It is commonly used in chemical, petroleum, power generation, laboratory, and medical device plants.

Pipe and tube fittings are components used for connecting, terminating, controlling flow, and changing the direction of piping in many different industries. Compression fittings do not require tools or sealants, and are useful in installations where a heat source, such as a soldering torch, is prohibited. When purchasing fittings, consider the application, as this will affect material type, shape, size, and required durability. Fittings are available threaded or unthreaded, in many shapes, styles, sizes, and schedules (pipe wall thickness).
