Boshart BC-64-04NL – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What tubing can the Boshart BC-64 compression tee be used on?
The BC-64 compression tee works on copper, brass, aluminum, plastic, CPVC and PEX tubing. It's a mechanical compression joint, so you don't solder, solvent weld or crimp it, which is why the same fitting covers mixed materials on one rough-in. On soft plastic tubing most plumbers still run an insert stiffener inside the tube so the ferrule doesn't collapse it.
2) What sizes does the Boshart BC-64 brass compression tee come in?
Two sizes, 1/4 inch and 3/8 inch compression, ordered as BC-64-04NL and BC-64-06NL. Both ends and the branch are the same size on each fitting, so if you need to step down from 3/8 to 1/4 on the branch you need a reducing tee or a separate reducing union, not this fitting.
3) Will a compression tee hold up on a line that vibrates?
Boshart recommends using long nuts on the BC-64 wherever vibration is present, for extra holding resistance on the tube. Standard short nuts grip a shorter length of tubing and can work loose under sustained vibration, so on pump discharge lines, compressor runs or anything mechanically shaken, order long nuts with the tee.
4) Is the BC-64 tee rated for anything other than water, like oil or air lines?
It's built for low to medium pressure service on gasoline, grease, oil, water, vacuum and air lines, in addition to plumbing rough-in. Keep it out of high-pressure duty; the compression joint is intended for the low to medium range only.
5) Do the nuts and ferrules come with the Boshart BC-64 tee?
The BC-64 is the tee body itself, a compression-pattern fitting. Nuts and ferrules (sleeves) are the mating components you thread onto each of the three ports, and if vibration is a factor Boshart calls for long nuts rather than standard ones. Order those to match the 1/4 inch or 3/8 inch size you're running.
6) Should I use a compression tee or a soldered or PEX crimp tee for my branch?
Pick the compression BC-64 when you can't bring heat to the joint, when the run mixes tubing materials, or when you may need to break the connection later. Sweat copper and crimp PEX tees give a permanent joint and take higher pressure, but each locks you into one tubing type and needs a torch or a crimp tool. The BC-64 makes the tee with wrenches only, and it takes copper, brass, aluminum, plastic, CPVC or PEX.
7) How is the BC-64 packaged, and can I buy less than a carton?
Boshart ships the BC-64 in cartons of 25 each. That bulk pack is aimed at truck stock and distributors doing repeat tee connections across jobs, rather than a one-off repair.
8) Where is the Boshart BC-64 compression tee made?
The BC-64 is manufactured in China for Boshart. Distributors and institutional buyers with country-of-origin reporting on their POs should note that when it hits a domestic-preference spec.
