The JB Industries T3-8D is a professional-grade 1/2 SAE x 1/2 MPT x 1/2 SAE brass tee engineered for high-pressure HVACR manifold and piping applications. This flare x male pipe x flare tee is forged from premium C360 brass, ensuring a high-tensile strength that withstands the rigors of field service. Designed to meet SAE J513 standards, the T3-8D provides a reliable, leak-proof 45? flare connection, making it ideal for splitting or joining lines in refrigeration systems. The center 1/2" NPT (MPT) connection features dryseal taper threads to minimize potential leak paths and provide extra clearance for tightening flare nuts. Whether you are working with R-410A systems or standard vacuum applications, this brass flare fitting handles up to 5,000 PSI depending on conditions. Designed and machined in the USA, this component offers superior vibration resistance and is compatible with copper, brass, and aluminum tubing, ensuring long-term durability in critical thermal systems.

Key Benefits:
  • Premium Forged Brass: Constructed from high-copper C360 alloy to prevent cracking and resist corrosion in harsh environments.
  • High Pressure Rated: Engineered for ACR tube fittings applications, capable of handling deep vacuum and high-side pressures up to 5,000 PSI.
  • Precision Threads: Features 1/2" SAE 45? Flare and 1/2" Male Pipe Thread (MPT) connections for a secure, metal-to-metal seal.
  • Broad Compatibility: Suitable for use with various refrigerants and compatible with copper, brass, and steel hydraulic tubing.
Common Questions:
  • Is this fitting compatible with R-410A systems? Yes, the high-tensile brass construction is designed to handle the elevated pressures associated with modern refrigerants.
  • Do I need thread sealant for the flare connections? No, flare connections rely on a metal-to-metal seal; however, a compatible sealant is recommended for the 1/2" MPT center connection.
  • Can this be used for vacuum pump manifolds? Absolutely, these tees are a standard choice for technicians building or repairing vacuum and charging manifolds.
