Parker 10-8 Gbz-b Compression X Fnpt Brass Connector

Product Description

The PARKER 10-8 GBZ-B is a straight brass compression tube connector designed to join compression tubing to a female NPT threaded port in a single inline fitting. Built from brass conforming to ASTM-B-453 and ASTM-B16 standards, this connector delivers a 2000 psi maximum working pressure rating, making it well suited for moderate- to high-pressure fluid and gas line applications. With a 1/2 inch thread size and a compression-to-FNPT end configuration, it provides a reliable, leak-resistant connection between soft copper, aluminum, or plastic tubing and a fixed female-threaded port. Licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and industrial pipefitters install this fitting in both residential and light commercial systems.

This connector is used in applications where a compression tubing run must terminate or transition at a female NPT port without soldering or flaring. Typical install scenarios include refrigerant-adjacent copper tubing runs, potable water supply lines, compressed air distribution, and hydraulic or pneumatic control circuits. The straight body profile keeps overall installed length compact at 1.84 inches, which is useful in tight mechanical spaces. Its brass construction makes it compatible with both copper and compatible plastic tubing in a wide range of fluid service environments.

Key Features

• 2000 psi maximum working pressure for demanding fluid and gas service
• Compression x FNPT end connections allow tool-free tubing insertion on the compression side
• Brass construction per ASTM-B-453 and ASTM-B16 for corrosion resistance and durability
• Straight fitting shape keeps installed length to 1.84 inches
• 1/2 inch FPT thread size matches standard NPT female-threaded ports
• Sold individually, no minimum order requirement beyond a single unit

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style compression-to-FNPT brass connector suitable for use in residential and commercial plumbing, HVAC, and pneumatic or hydraulic tubing systems where a 1/2 inch female NPT port and compression tubing connection are required.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified HVAC or mechanical technician in accordance with applicable local codes, IPC, or IFGC requirements. Shut off system pressure and relieve any residual pressure before disassembly or fitting installation. Ensure tubing is cut cleanly and deburred before inserting into the compression end to achieve a proper seal. Do not overtighten the compression nut, as brass fittings can be damaged by excessive torque.
