Parker 1-1 Gbz-ss Compression Tube Connector 1/16 in Ss

Product Description

The PARKER 1-1 GBZ-SS is a stainless steel compression tube connector designed to join small-diameter tubing to a female NPT threaded port in instrumentation, pneumatic, and fluid-handling systems. With a 1/16 inch tube outside diameter and a maximum working pressure of 16,800 psi, this fitting is built for high-pressure applications where leak-free performance and corrosion resistance are critical. One end accepts a compression tube connection; the other end is female NPT threaded. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and instrumentation technicians typically install this type of fitting in process control, hydraulic, and specialty gas systems.

This connector is suited for residential and commercial applications requiring a reliable transition between compression tubing and NPT-threaded components. Typical install scenarios include instrument manifolds, sample lines, chemical injection systems, and small-bore gas or fluid circuits where stainless steel corrosion resistance is required. The compact size and single-piece construction make it appropriate for tight plumbing runs and panel-mounted instrument connections.

Key Features

• Stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in harsh fluid and gas environments
• Maximum working pressure rated at 16,800 psi for high-pressure service
• 1/16 inch tube outside diameter compression end for secure, leak-free tube grip
• Female NPT threaded end for direct connection to standard NPT-ported components
• Compact form factor suitable for dense instrumentation plumbing runs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style compression connector for 1/16 inch OD tubing terminating to a female NPT threaded port, following NPT thread standards.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified pipefitter, plumber, or instrumentation technician familiar with compression fittings and NPT thread sealing practices. Shut off and depressurize the system fully before disassembly or installation. Apply appropriate thread sealant to the NPT end per manufacturer and applicable code requirements; do not over-tighten, as stainless fittings are susceptible to galling. Verify tube cut is clean and square before seating the compression ferrule to ensure a proper seal.
