You can't run a tee in it, it won't work.

Post a picture of what you currently have along with some details of what you want to do.
I doubt it. Good chance the OEM tube is not a US tube size. You need to measure it to know what it is.I think this is the fitting that I need.

Flareless compression fittings used with metal tubing These fittings require no flaring of the metal tube to install Using a ferrule ring to compress onto tubing these fittings form a high pressure seal able to handle many thousands of psiwww.hydraulicsdirect.com
The T's that I bought are 3/8 npt and fit (or seem to very well I know thread sizes can be tricky) The issue is that compression fitting in the picture. I can measure it but would need to know what I am measuring against.
BSP and NPT will screw together and are easily confused. But the thread flank angle are different and they will not seal correctly. Take care - you are flirting with an expensive mistake. You need to positively identify the thread type before screwing anything new into that port.
Ok this makes way more sense now. Thanks! That diagram is really really helpful.
I would suggest you focus your connection efforts on the loader valve end rather that the hydraulic outlet end. Does your backhoe have a power beyond port? If not you will be using the tank port as a power beyond feed to the downstream device.
From what I am getting from the manual this backhoe can be configured to run with PB. Need to start taking things apart so I can see the valve better. They reference a PB kit, so need get the details on that kit to see if I can just make it
. Thanks again for the explanations. Really made this a lot clearer.looks like that surge relief valve is the key component.From what I am getting from the manual this backhoe can be configured to run with PB.

A picture is worth a thousand words -- that's not the same 2 piece block as pictured in the first part of this thread:
That manual page is quite definitive if you understand the terminology. The surge relief is unrelated to power beyond. The power beyond kit referenced is typically just a sleeve that screws into one of the tank ports on the valve. That creates two separate circuits inside the outlet section of the valve. One is the high pressure center flow and the other is the low pressure tank return flow. You will not make that power beyond sleeve - it is valve specific and you will have to purchase it from the valve supplier. Slow down and ask questions. You are a quick learner but there is a lot to learn.
Its just another "high rise" variant and apparently part of the BF400 kit which also came with all of the hard lines for the quick attach loader. Nice tidy and well integrated installation. Part number for the outlet block was 70764-62710.A picture is worth a thousand words -- that's not the same 2 piece block as pictured in the first part of this thread:
That looks like a one-piece unit, similar to the L275 block posted by olthumpa later on in the thread.
I wonder if there was a design change at some point that applied to multiple models rather than a difference in the models themselves?
I think we need more pictures -- or at least, more information. I can see at least 3 lines in the picture. One appears to be a return to the tank, then the two to the block. There's also something peaking out at the left side, just above where those 3 bend down and behind the valve handle but I can't be sure if that is a hydraulic line or a control lever. Where are the 3 lines leading? Do you have an existing attachment (you mention "backhoe" in passing) fed by those lines? As in, you have an existing backhoe and are trying to add a FEL?
