Product Overview
Parker Hannifin FTCR-202012-T is a Parflare series reducing tee fitting with 1.25" x 1.25" run ports and a 0.75" branch port. The body is high-purity PFA (Perfluoroalkoxy), chosen wherever extreme chemical resistance and zero contamination in fluid pathways are required. The "-T" suffix indicates PFA nuts on all three ports. Connection method is the Parflare system, which uses thermally flared PFA tubing for a leak-tight, metal-free joint. Rated to 125 PSI. Body is translucent natural PFA with knurled hex collars on all three ports; branch port is visibly smaller than the run ports. Overall span approximately 5.5 inches.

Applications
- Semiconductor fab chemical delivery: branching a 1.25" UHP chemical line to a 0.75" feed at a wet bench or single-wafer cleaning tool, where any metal contact or contamination would compromise wafer yield
- Chemical processing plant maintenance: replacing a failed tee or resizing a branch leg in a corrosive-fluid transfer line during a scheduled outage, where the fitting must survive continuous acid or solvent exposure
- Pharmaceutical and bioprocessing fluid systems: routing ultrapure process fluids through a reducing branch without introducing extractables that would fail purity validation
- Laboratory research facilities: modifying or expanding high-purity reagent distribution manifolds where PFA is specified to prevent interference with sensitive analytical workflows
Frequently Asked Questions
What tubing sizes does this fitting accept?
Run ports accept 1.25" OD PFA tubing; the branch port accepts 0.75" OD PFA tubing. Tubing must be PFA and must be thermally flared using Parflare-compatible tooling for a proper connection.
What tools are required for installation?
Parflare installation requires a heat source (heat gun) and a PTFE mandrel, or an electronic Parflare flare gun, to form the thermal flare on the tube end before assembly. Standard push-to-connect or compression tools are not compatible with this connection system.
What does the "-T" suffix in the part number mean?
The "-T" suffix indicates PFA nuts. The alternative standard nut material is PVDF. PFA nuts are specified when the nut material must match the body for full fluoropolymer wetted-surface compatibility or when PVDF is incompatible with the fluid being handled.
Is this fitting compatible with PVDF or PTFE tubing?
The Parflare connection method is designed for PFA tubing. Compatibility with PVDF or PTFE tubing depends on whether those materials can be thermally flared to the Parflare profile - verify with Parker before substituting tubing material.
Is any documentation or tooling included?
Not included. The fitting only is sold here.
PFA doesn't announce itself - it just sits there, perfectly indifferent to whatever you're running through it. This one has been waiting in a government facility for its next assignment. That assignment is yours now.
