Parker 2-8 Fbz-ss Compression Tube Connector Ss

Product Description

The PARKER 2-8 FBZ-SS is a compression tube connector designed to join 1/8 inch outside diameter tubing to a 1/2 inch male NPT threaded port. Constructed from stainless steel, this fitting provides a secure, leak-resistant connection in high-pressure fluid and gas systems. With a maximum working pressure of 10,900 psi and an overall length of 1.67 inches, it is built for demanding instrumentation, hydraulic, and process control applications. Plumbers, pipefitters, and instrumentation technicians install this type of fitting where a reliable compression-to-threaded transition is required in tight spaces or corrosive environments.

This connector is suited for residential and commercial applications involving instrumentation tubing, process piping, and fluid control systems. The compression end accepts 1/8 inch OD tubing without welding or soldering, making it practical for field installations and service work. The MNPT end threads into standard NPT-tapped fittings, valves, manifolds, and equipment ports. Its stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for environments where corrosion resistance is a priority, including chemical, marine, and food-grade process systems.

Key Features

• Stainless steel body provides corrosion resistance in harsh or corrosive environments
• Compression x MNPT end connections allow tubing-to-threaded-port transitions without welding or soldering
• Rated to 10,900 psi maximum working pressure for high-pressure instrumentation and process applications
• Accepts 1/8 inch outside diameter tubing on the compression end
• 1/2 inch male NPT thread conforms to MPT thread standard for broad compatibility with standard threaded ports
• Compact at 1.67 inches overall length, suitable for installations with limited clearance

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation compression connector for systems using 1/8 inch OD tubing with 1/2 inch male NPT threaded connections in instrumentation, hydraulic, and process piping applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed pipefitters, plumbers, or instrumentation technicians in accordance with applicable piping codes such as ASME B31.3 for process piping. Depressurize and isolate the system before removing or installing any compression fittings. Hand-tighten the compression nut onto the tubing before applying the manufacturer-recommended number of turns with a wrench to seat the ferrule. Do not overtighten, as this can deform the ferrule and compromise the seal.
