Parker 12-8 Fbz-ss Compression Connector 1/2 Inch Npt Ss

Product Description

The PARKER 12-8 FBZ-SS is a stainless steel compression tube connector designed to join tubing to a male NPT threaded port in a single, leak-resistant fitting. With a 1/2 inch NPT thread size and a compression x MNPT end connection configuration, this connector delivers a maximum working pressure of 5800 psi, making it well suited for high-pressure fluid and gas lines. The overall length of 1.99 inches keeps the assembly compact. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians install this fitting in systems where a reliable mechanical connection between tubing and threaded pipe is required.

This connector is used in residential and commercial applications involving hydraulic lines, instrument tubing, refrigeration circuits, and plumbing systems that require a stainless steel fitting for corrosion resistance. The compression end accepts tubing directly without soldering or brazing, which simplifies installation in tight or heat-sensitive areas. The MNPT end threads into standard NPT female ports. Its stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for environments with moisture, mild chemicals, or elevated temperatures.

Key Features

• Compression x MNPT end connections allow tubing-to-threaded-pipe joining without soldering
• Maximum working pressure of 5800 psi supports high-pressure line applications
• Stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in demanding environments
• 1/2 inch NPT thread size matches standard pipe fittings and valves
• Compact overall length of 1.99 inches suits installations with limited clearance

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style compression connector for use with standard 1/2 inch NPT threaded ports in plumbing, hydraulic, instrumentation, and HVAC tubing systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter. Shut off and depressurize the line completely before removing or installing any fitting. Ensure tubing is cut cleanly and squarely and that the compression ferrule is properly seated before tightening the fitting nut. Follow applicable IPC and IFGC requirements for the fluid or gas service the fitting will carry.
