How to Tighten Compression Nuts Without Damaging Threads

Installation Parts Supply – Brass Compression Tee Fittings

Did you notice that upwards of 60% of plumbing problems are caused by inferior connections? That makes selecting the correct 1/4 inch compression fitting parts critical. Installation Parts Supply delivers industrial-grade solutions built for dependability.

Our compression tee fittings are crafted from premium CA360 and CA377 brass, ensuring durability for low-to-medium pressure systems. They meet ASA, ASME & SAE specs when you use them with copper, aluminum, or thermoplastic tube.

Great in non-moving setups: not for steel pipe yet outstanding where vibration is minimal. Also, thanks to inventory clearance sales, you receive premium quality fast.

Top-Tier Compression Tee Brass Fittings for Dependable Plumbing

Hydraulic setups require exacting components for enduring operation. Our brass compression fittings feature a double-ferrule design, ensuring tight seals even under vibration.

The dual-ferrule mechanism holds the tube tight, minimizing leaks at high pressure. Unlike single-ferrule designs, it distributes stress evenly, ideal for automotive brake lines and manufacturing equipment.

Feature Single-Ferrule Double-Ferrule
Shake Tolerance Moderate High
Pressure Capacity Low Medium
Fluid Compatibility Basic liquids Hydraulic fluids, coolants

These compression joints work with liquid media like coolants and lubricants. For gas applications, consider JIC flare fittings for added safety.

From heavy machinery to automotive systems, our brass compression fittings deliver unmatched reliability. They’re designed for the harshest factory environments.

Major Benefits of Brass Compression Tee Fittings

Strong connections start with the right components—here’s what makes ours stand out.

Forged from premium material, these parts withstand heavy use better than cast alternatives. The dense structure resists cracks, ensuring longevity in water and glycol systems.

Precision-machined threads create airtight seals, even under pressure. As pressure climbs, the taper tightens, minimizing leaks in vital systems.

  • Interchangeable: Combine with 45° or 90° elbows for versatile routing.
  • Reducing tees: Merge varying tube sizes effortlessly.
  • Corrosion-resistant: Perfect in tough settings such as HVAC or marine.

Connecting copper? They clamp tight—no solder needed. Plus, we carry needle valves and bleeders for full control.
