Parker MISC Fittings & Sizes (Lot of 4)

F43

The Parker 8-8-6 SBZ Brass Male Branch Tee (Lot of 5) is a type of industrial fitting used in fluid handling systems. Here’s a breakdown of what the components and specifications typically mean:

Key Features:

1. Parker: This is the well-known brand, which specializes in a variety of industrial components, such as hydraulic fittings, hoses, and valves.

2. 8-8-6: This part number usually indicates the size and configuration of the tee. Specifically:

   • 8 (on the left and right sides) refers to the size of the male threads on the two ends of the tee (likely 1/2″ in nominal size, or 8/16″ depending on the fitting).
   • 6 refers to the size of the middle branch, which is smaller than the two outer ends. It would be 3/8″ in nominal size, or 6/16″.

3. SBZ: This is likely a code for a specific material or finish used for the fitting. In this case, it probably refers to brass, which is commonly used for plumbing and fluid systems due to its resistance to corrosion and durability.

4. Brass: The material, brass, is used for its strength, resistance to corrosion, and ease of use in a wide range of fluid systems. Brass fittings are especially common in plumbing, heating, and industrial applications.

5. Male Branch Tee: This fitting is a “tee” shaped connector where the male threads on the two outer ports allow it to be screwed into female-threaded pipes or components. The middle branch also has male threads that allow you to connect another female-threaded component or pipe.

6. Lot of 5: This indicates that you are purchasing a set of five pieces of the Parker 8-8-6 SBZ Brass Male Branch Tee.

Use Case:

A Male Branch Tee like this would typically be used to connect three pipes or hoses in a Y-shaped arrangement. It allows fluid to flow from the main pipe (on the two ends) and divert some of the flow into the middle branch. This is common in hydraulic, pneumatic, or water systems where a branch or split in the pipeline is needed.

Applications:

• Hydraulic systems: Dividing or combining flow in various industrial machines.
• Plumbing: Connecting three plumbing lines in residential or commercial installations.
• Pneumatic systems: Distributing airflow across different parts of an industrial machine
