Parker 2-4 Gbz-ss Compression Tube Connector 1/4 in Ss

Product Description

The PARKER 2-4 GBZ-SS is a stainless steel compression tube connector designed to join tubing to female NPT threaded ports in fluid and gas distribution systems. It features a 1/4-inch thread size with a compression inlet on one end and a female NPT (FNPT) connection on the other, allowing a secure, leak-resistant transition between tube and pipe thread. Rated to a maximum working pressure of 10,900 psi, this fitting is built for demanding service environments where high pressure integrity and corrosion resistance are required. Licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and industrial pipefitters are the primary installers of this component.

This compression-to-FNPT connector is suited for use in high-pressure hydraulic lines, instrumentation tubing, refrigeration or pneumatic circuits, and other applications where a reliable tube-to-pipe-thread interface is needed. Its stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for corrosive environments, outdoor installations, and systems handling aggressive media. The fitting is equally applicable in residential, commercial, and light industrial settings wherever a compression tube connection must mate to a female NPT port.

Key Features

• Stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance for demanding service conditions
• Compression x FNPT end connections allow direct tube-to-pipe-thread termination
• 1/4-inch thread size fits standard NPT ported valves, manifolds, and instruments
• Maximum working pressure of 10,900 psi supports high-pressure system applications
• Single-piece connector simplifies installation and reduces potential leak points

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style compression tube connector for systems requiring a 1/4-inch compression to female NPT fitting interface. Consult system documentation to confirm tubing OD and thread engagement requirements before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber, pipefitter, or qualified HVAC technician following applicable IPC or system-specific codes. Isolate and fully depressurize the line before removing or installing any compression fitting. Compression fittings require correct tube OD sizing and proper seating of the ferrule against the fitting body — do not overtighten, as this can deform the ferrule and compromise the seal. Inspect the tube end for burrs or damage and ensure a clean, square cut before assembly.
