Parker 12-16 Fbz-ss Compression Tube Connector 1 in Npt

Product Description

The PARKER 12-16 FBZ-SS is a stainless steel compression tube connector designed to join compression tubing to a male NPT threaded port. It provides a secure, leak-resistant connection in fluid and gas handling systems operating at elevated pressures. With a maximum working pressure of 5800 psi and an overall length of 2.28 inches, this fitting is built for demanding industrial and mechanical service environments. The stainless steel construction resists corrosion and handles aggressive media. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors typically install this type of fitting in process piping, instrumentation lines, and high-pressure fluid systems.

This connector is suited for applications requiring a reliable transition between compression tube and male NPT threaded connections. Common install scenarios include instrumentation tubing runs, hydraulic and pneumatic control lines, and process fluid systems where vibration resistance and pressure integrity are critical. The 1-inch NPT thread size fits standard pipe fittings and valves found in commercial and industrial installations. Its stainless steel body makes it appropriate for corrosive environments and high-cycle service conditions.

Key Features

• Stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in aggressive service environments
• Maximum working pressure of 5800 psi for high-pressure fluid and gas lines
• Compression x MNPT end connections for a reliable tube-to-pipe transition
• 1-inch NPT thread size compatible with standard pipe fittings and valves
• Overall length of 2.28 inches for compact installation in tight spaces

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style compression-to-male-NPT connector for high-pressure instrumentation and process piping systems using 1-inch NPT threaded ports and compatible compression tubing.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber, pipefitter, or qualified mechanical technician. Depressurize and isolate the system completely before removing or installing any compression fittings. Follow applicable codes such as ASME B31.3 for process piping and ensure compression ferrules are properly seated before torquing. Do not overtighten compression connections, as this can deform ferrules and compromise the seal.
