Parker 1-2 Gbz-ss Compression Tube Connector 1/8 in Npt

Product Description

The PARKER 1-2 GBZ-SS is a stainless steel compression tube connector designed to create a leak-tight transition between a compression tube end and a female NPT threaded port. Built for demanding fluid and gas distribution systems, this fitting handles a maximum working pressure of 16800 psi, making it well suited for high-pressure instrumentation, hydraulic, and process piping applications. The 1/8 inch NPT thread size and compact 0.95 inch overall length allow installation in tight spaces without sacrificing performance. Plumbers, pipefitters, and instrumentation technicians typically install this fitting during new construction or retrofit work on pressurized tubing systems.

This connector is used in residential and commercial applications wherever a compression tube line must terminate into a female NPT port. Typical install scenarios include instrument tubing connections on HVAC equipment, pneumatic control lines, hydraulic assemblies, and process fluid distribution panels. The stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet, chemical-exposed, or outdoor environments, making it a common choice for marine, chemical processing, and industrial service work.

Key Features

• Stainless steel body for corrosion resistance in harsh or wet service environments
• Maximum working pressure of 16800 psi supports high-pressure instrumentation and hydraulic applications
• 1/8 inch NPT thread standard ensures compatibility with standard female NPT ports
• Compression x FNPT end connections allow direct tube-to-threaded-port transitions without additional adapters
• Compact 0.95 inch overall length suits installations with limited clearance

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for compression tube systems using 1/8 inch female NPT threaded ports across industrial, instrumentation, HVAC, and process piping applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, or instrumentation technicians. Depressurize and isolate the tubing system completely before removing or installing any compression fitting. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to NPT threads in accordance with the applicable piping code, such as the IPC or ASME B31 series. Ensure the compression ferrule is properly seated and the nut is tightened to a firm stop without over-torquing, following the fitting manufacturer's standard assembly procedure.
