Parker 2-2 Gbz-b Compression Tube Connector 1/8 in Brass

Product Description

The PARKER 2-2 GBZ-B is a brass compression tube connector designed to join a compression-end tube to a female NPT threaded port in fluid and gas distribution systems. It features a 1/8 inch tube outside diameter compression end and a female NPT (FNPT) threaded end, rated for a maximum working pressure of 3600 psi. The all-brass construction provides corrosion resistance and durability in demanding service environments. This fitting is installed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, HVAC technicians, and instrumentation professionals wherever a reliable, leak-tight compression-to-threaded transition is required.

This connector is suited for residential and commercial instrumentation lines, pneumatic control tubing, refrigeration sensing lines, and hydraulic or gas sampling systems where a compression fitting must terminate into a female NPT port. It is appropriate for use with 1/8 inch OD tubing routed into panels, manifolds, valves, or instrument bodies with standard FPT threaded inlets. The compact size makes it practical in tight plumbing and instrument enclosure installations.

Key Features

• Compression x FNPT end connections for tool-free tube insertion on one end and threaded port engagement on the other
• 1/8 inch tube outside diameter compression seat
• Maximum working pressure of 3600 psi for high-pressure instrument and process lines
• All-brass construction for corrosion resistance and long service life
• FPT thread standard for compatibility with standard NPT female ports
• Compact form factor suited for tight instrumentation and panel installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-install compression tube connector for systems using 1/8 inch OD tubing terminating into female NPT threaded ports. Cross-reference: Swagelok part number B-200-7-2.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified plumber, pipefitter, or HVAC technician in accordance with applicable codes such as the IPC or IFGC. Depressurize and isolate the system completely before removing or installing any compression fitting. Use appropriate tubing cutters to ensure a clean, square tube end before inserting into the compression sleeve. Do not overtighten the compression nut, as brass fittings can be damaged by excessive torque.
