Parker 2 Kbz-ss Compression Tube Union Stainless Steel

Product Description

The PARKER 2 KBZ-SS is a compression tube union fitting constructed entirely of stainless steel. It connects two lengths of tubing using all-compression end connections, creating a leak-resistant joint without soldering, brazing, or threading. This fitting is rated for a maximum working pressure of 10900 psi, making it suitable for high-pressure fluid and gas line applications. Plumbers, pipefitters, and instrumentation technicians install this type of fitting in systems where reliable, removable tube connections are required and corrosion resistance is a priority.

This compression union is used in residential and commercial plumbing, hydraulic instrumentation, pneumatic control lines, and industrial process tubing systems. Its all-compression design allows for straightforward field assembly and disassembly without specialized tooling. The stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for corrosive environments, high-purity fluid systems, and installations where long service life under pressure cycling is expected.

Key Features

• All-compression end connections on both sides — no soldering or brazing required
• Maximum working pressure of 10900 psi for demanding high-pressure applications
• Stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance and durability
• Union configuration allows tubing to be connected and disconnected without cutting
• Compact, single-piece union body suitable for tight installation spaces

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style compression tube union for use with compatible compression tubing in high-pressure fluid and gas line installations. Verify tubing outside diameter and wall thickness against PARKER fitting specifications before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified pipefitters following applicable IPC and local plumbing code requirements. Shut off and depressurize the line completely before disassembling or installing any compression fitting. Ensure tubing ends are cut square and deburred before seating into the compression fitting body. Do not overtighten the compression nut, as this can deform the ferrule and compromise the seal.
