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

Product Description

The PARKER 10-6 DBZ-SS is a compression tube female elbow fitting designed to create a reliable, leak-resistant 90-degree directional change in tubing runs. Constructed from stainless steel, this fitting connects a compression tube end to a female NPT threaded port. It is rated for a maximum working pressure of 6100 psi, making it suitable for high-pressure fluid and instrumentation line applications. The 3/8-inch NPT thread size is a common standard in industrial and trade plumbing systems. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and instrumentation technicians install this type of fitting in process piping, hydraulic lines, refrigeration systems, and pneumatic controls.

This fitting is used in applications requiring a transition from compression tubing to a female NPT-threaded port at a 90-degree angle. The combination of stainless steel construction and high-pressure rating makes it appropriate for both commercial and industrial installations where corrosion resistance and pressure integrity are critical. Typical install scenarios include instrumentation panels, hydraulic manifolds, fluid transfer systems, and HVAC refrigerant or process piping where a directional change is needed without sacrificing pressure capacity.

Key Features

• Stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance for demanding service environments
• Maximum working pressure of 6100 psi supports high-pressure fluid and instrumentation applications
• 3/8-inch NPT thread standard ensures compatibility with common threaded ports
• Compression x FNPT end connections allow tubing-to-threaded-port transition at a 90-degree angle
• Female elbow configuration simplifies routing changes in tight or confined plumbing layouts

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style compression tube female elbow for use in systems with 3/8-inch NPT female-threaded ports requiring a compression tube inlet connection.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber, pipefitter, or instrumentation technician familiar with compression fitting assembly. Depressurize and isolate the line completely before disassembly or installation. Hand-tighten the compression nut onto the tubing, then advance with a wrench according to standard compression fitting practice — do not overtighten, as stainless steel compression fittings require controlled assembly to avoid deforming the ferrule. Verify the NPT threaded connection is made with appropriate thread sealant approved for the service fluid and pressure rating.
