Parker 10-6 Fbz-b Compression X Mnpt Brass Connector

Product Description

The PARKER 10-6 FBZ-B is a straight compression-to-male NPT tube connector machined from brass for use in fluid and gas distribution lines. It creates a leak-resistant mechanical connection between a compression tube end and a male NPT threaded port without soldering or flaring. The fitting carries a maximum working pressure of 2000 psi and measures 1.74 inches in overall length, making it well-suited for tight plumbing and instrumentation runs. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and industrial pipefitters install this type of fitting where a reliable, removable tube connection to a threaded component is required.

This fitting is appropriate for residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC refrigerant or pneumatic line work, and instrumentation tubing applications where a compression tube must terminate at a male NPT port. The straight body profile allows in-line installation with minimal clearance requirements. At 2000 psi working pressure, it handles demanding service conditions encountered in compressed-air, water, and compatible fluid systems.

Key Features

• Straight compression-to-MNPT configuration for direct in-line tube-to-port connections
• Rated to 2000 psi maximum working pressure
• Brass construction conforming to ASTM-B-453 and ASTM-B16 standards
• 3/8 inch thread size with MPT thread standard
• Overall length of 1.74 inches for compact installation clearance
• No soldering or flaring required for installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service fitting for compression tube systems requiring a 3/8 inch male NPT connection. Cross-reference Swagelok part number B-1010-1-6 for equivalent fitment verification.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or qualified HVAC or instrumentation technician. Shut off and depressurize the line completely before disassembling any existing fitting or installing this connector. Hand-tighten the compression nut onto the tube end, then apply the additional turns specified by the fitting manufacturer for the tube material being used. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male NPT threads in accordance with applicable IPC or IFGC requirements for the fluid or gas being conveyed.
