Parker 10-8 Gbz-ss Compression Tube Connector 1/2 in Npt

Product Description

The PARKER 10-8 GBZ-SS is a stainless steel compression tube connector designed to join tubing to female NPT threaded pipe connections in high-pressure fluid and gas systems. It combines a compression fitting on one end with a female NPT (FNPT) thread on the other, allowing a secure, leak-resistant transition between tubing and threaded pipe. Rated to 6100 psi maximum working pressure, this connector is built for demanding industrial, instrumentation, and mechanical service environments. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and instrumentation technicians install this fitting wherever a reliable compression-to-FNPT interface is required.

This fitting is well suited for use in hydraulic lines, pneumatic systems, instrumentation tubing runs, and process piping where stainless steel corrosion resistance is required. Typical applications include chemical processing, oil and gas, marine, and high-purity fluid systems. The 1/2 inch NPT thread size makes it a common choice for mid-range tubing assemblies in both commercial and industrial installations.

Key Features

• Stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance for harsh or wet service environments
• Maximum working pressure rated to 6100 psi for high-pressure system use
• Compression x FNPT end connections allow tubing-to-threaded-pipe transitions without welding or soldering
• 1/2 inch NPT thread size for compatibility with standard pipe fittings and manifolds
• Compact connector body suited for tight plumbing and instrumentation layouts

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style compression tube connector for use in systems requiring a 1/2 inch NPT compression-to-FNPT fitting in stainless steel construction.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed pipefitter, plumber, or instrumentation technician familiar with compression fitting assembly. Depressurize and isolate the system completely before disassembling any existing fittings or installing this connector. Follow the fitting manufacturer's recommended turn count past finger-tight when tightening compression nuts, and do not over-tighten, as this can deform the ferrule and compromise the seal. Applicable installations should conform to ASME and relevant local piping codes.
