Parker 10-6 Dbz-b Compression Female Elbow 3/8 Inch

Product Description

The PARKER 10-6 DBZ-B is a brass compression tube female elbow fitting designed for reliable tube-to-pipe connections in fluid and gas systems. It connects a compression tube end to a 3/8 inch female NPT (FNPT) port, changing the direction of the line while maintaining a secure, leak-resistant seal. Rated to 2000 psi maximum working pressure, this fitting is built for demanding service in HVAC, refrigeration, instrumentation, and plumbing applications. Constructed from brass, it offers good corrosion resistance and compatibility with a range of fluids. Licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and instrumentation mechanics routinely use this style of fitting during system assembly and repair.

This female elbow is suited for residential and light commercial applications where a tube line must terminate or change direction at a threaded female port. Common install scenarios include connecting copper or compatible tubing to valves, manifolds, or control components with FPT ports. The compression end allows for a tool-assisted, ferrule-based connection without soldering, making it practical for field service and retrofit work where open flame is undesirable or prohibited.

Key Features

• 2000 psi maximum working pressure for use in high-pressure fluid and gas lines
• Brass construction provides corrosion resistance and durability in wet environments
• Compression x FNPT end connections eliminate the need for soldering during installation
• 3/8 inch thread size compatible with standard FPT ports on valves and fittings
• 90-degree elbow geometry for direction changes in tight or space-constrained installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for systems requiring a compression tube to 3/8 inch FNPT connection. Cross-reference: Swagelok part number B-1010-8-6.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified HVAC technician following applicable codes including IPC and IFGC where relevant. Shut off system pressure and bleed the line before disassembling or installing any compression fitting. Hand-tighten the compression nut onto the fitting body, then use a wrench to advance the nut the additional turns required to seat the ferrule — do not overtighten. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to the NPT threads per local code requirements before assembly.
