Parker 12-8 Cbz-b Compression Male Elbow 1/2 in Mnpt Brass

Product Description

The PARKER 12-8 CBZ-B is a brass compression tube male elbow fitting designed to create a reliable, leak-resistant 90-degree transition between a compression tube connection and a male NPT threaded port. The fitting is machined from brass and rated to a maximum working pressure of 1900 psi, making it suitable for demanding fluid and gas line applications across HVAC, refrigeration, plumbing, and industrial service work. The compression end accepts tubing without soldering or flaring, while the 1/2-inch male NPT thread mates directly to standard pipe fittings, valves, and manifolds. Licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and pipefitters are the primary installers of this fitting type.

This fitting is used wherever a directional change is needed between a compression tube run and a threaded port in residential and light commercial systems. Typical applications include refrigerant line connections, compressed air distribution, hydraulic control lines, fuel supply lines, and potable water systems where brass construction is code-acceptable. The 1/2-inch thread size and compression end suit a wide range of tubing and pipe configurations found in both new installation and retrofit work.

Key Features

• Brass construction provides corrosion resistance and compatibility with a broad range of media
• Rated to 1900 psi maximum working pressure for use in high-demand service lines
• Compression x MNPT end connections eliminate the need for soldering or flaring at the tube end
• 1/2-inch male NPT thread conforms to standard MPT thread specification for universal fitment
• 90-degree elbow geometry allows directional routing in tight or confined spaces
• Single-piece package quantity suits single-point repair and replacement work

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style compression tube male elbow for use in systems requiring a compression-to-MNPT transition at 1/2-inch thread size. Cross-reference Swagelok part number B-1210-2-8 for equivalent specification sourcing.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber, pipefitter, or HVAC technician. Shut off and depressurize the line completely before disassembling any existing fitting or making new connections. Ensure the compression ferrule is properly seated on the tubing before tightening the compression nut. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male NPT threads in accordance with local plumbing or mechanical code requirements.
