Compression Tee vs. Soldered Tee: A Comparative Guide

Installation Parts Supply – Brass Compression Tee Fittings

Did you realize more than 60% of plumbing breakdowns stem from subpar connections? Hence, picking the proper 1/4 inch compression fitting plastic tubing components is essential. Installation Parts Supply delivers industrial-grade solutions engineered for lasting performance.

Our tee compression fittings feature CA360 and CA377 brass construction for long life in low-to-medium pressure lines. Whether you’re working with copper, aluminum, or thermoplastic tubing, these parts meet ASA, ASME, and SAE standards.

Ideal for fixed installations—they aren’t for steel tube but thrive in low-vibration settings. And with our inventory clearance sales, you secure high-end parts right away.

Premium Compression Tee Brass Forged Fittings for Reliable Plumbing

Fluid power systems need precision parts for reliable, long-term use. Our compression brass components feature a dual-ferrule mechanism, keeping joints sealed under shaking.

The dual-ferrule mechanism holds the tube tight, minimizing leaks at high pressure. Compared to single-ferrule types, it spreads force uniformly, perfect for brake lines and industrial machines.

Feature Single-Ferrule Double-Ferrule
Vibe Durability Moderate High
Pressure Range Low Medium
Media Compatibility Basic liquids Hydraulic fluids, coolants

These compression connectors work with liquid media like coolants and lubricants. For gaseous systems, JIC flare options offer extra protection.

1/2 compression fitting

In everything from large equipment to cars, these brass compression fittings offer unparalleled trustworthiness. They’re designed for the harshest factory environments.

Top Attributes of These 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. Dense brass resists fractures, lasting in water or glycol service.

CNC-cut threads form leak-proof joints under load. Tapered nuts bite harder under load, cutting leaks in crucial lines.

  • Interchangeable: Use with 45°/90° bends for layout freedom.
  • Reducing tees: Connect mixed tubing sizes seamlessly.
  • 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.
