JB T2-4 1/4" SAE Three-Way Tee

The JB T2-4 1/4" SAE Three-Way Tee is a professional-grade refrigeration brass fitting engineered for high-pressure fluid distribution in HVACR systems. Built by JB Industries in the USA, this 1/4 inch flare tee is forged from premium C360 and C370 brass (65% copper, 35% zinc) to ensure localized high-tensile strength and superior corrosion resistance. This forging process eliminates the risk of cracks often found in lower-quality imported fittings. Designed for ACR tube systems, it accommodates copper, brass, aluminum, steel, and even certain plastic tubings, provided a proper 45° flare can be established. This HVAC flare connector is rated for vacuum and pressures up to 5,000 psi, though the system limit is typically dictated by the valve core or tubing material. It strictly adheres to SAE J513 and AHRI standards, featuring dryseal taper pipe threads to minimize leakage and ensure a reliable, vibration-resistant metal-to-metal seal for long-term field reliability.

• Durable Brass Forging: Resists cracking and ensures long-term integrity in high-vibration refrigeration applications.
• Precise 1/4" SAE Connections: Features 7/16-20 threads for a perfect match with standard service manifold hoses and tools.
• Universal Compatibility: Works seamlessly with all common ACR tubing materials including copper and aluminum.
• Strict Standard Compliance: Meets SAE J513 and AHRI guidelines for accurate sealing surfaces and thread dimensions.
• High Pressure Resilience: Engineered to handle extreme HVAC system pressures and deep vacuum cycles.

What is the maximum working pressure for this tee?
While the forged brass body can handle up to 5,000 psi, the effective working limit is usually 800 psi when used with standard valve cores, or the pressure rating of the connected tubing.

Can I use this fitting for R-410A systems?
Yes, the heavy-duty brass construction and SAE 45° flare design are compatible with high-pressure refrigerants like R-410A when used with correctly flared tubing.

How tight should the flare nuts be on this fitting?
JB recommends tightening 2-1/2 turns past hand-tight; avoid over-torquing as it can thin the flare and lead to potential leaks in the field.
