Parker 2FBC2N-B Bulkhead Female Connector 1/8 in Brass

Product Description

The PARKER 2FBC2N-B is a brass bulkhead female connector designed to pass a compression tube fitting through a panel or bulkhead wall while creating a secure, leak-resistant seal. It features a compression inlet on one end and a female NPT (FNPT) thread on the other, allowing a tube to be routed from one side of a partition to the other with a fixed, panel-mounted connection point. Rated to 3,600 psi maximum working pressure and conforming to ASME-SB75 and ASTM-B75 brass material standards, this fitting is suited for demanding fluid and gas system applications where structural integrity and pressure retention are critical. Licensed HVAC technicians, plumbers, and instrumentation specialists typically install this type of fitting.

This bulkhead connector is used in residential and commercial applications wherever tubing must pass through a panel, enclosure wall, or bulkhead in a controlled, sealed manner. Common installation scenarios include refrigeration line sets routed through equipment panels, compressed air distribution systems, and instrumentation tubing in HVAC and plumbing control enclosures. The 1/8 inch thread size makes it well suited for small-diameter tubing runs in tight instrument or control panel environments.

Key Features

• Compression x FNPT end connections allow direct tube-to-panel-to-threaded-port routing
• 3,600 psi maximum working pressure rating for high-pressure fluid and gas service
• Brass construction meets ASME-SB75 and ASTM-B75 material standards
• 1/8 inch FPT thread standard for compatibility with standard NPT fittings and ports
• Overall length of 1.76 inches keeps panel penetration compact
• Cross-referenced to Swagelok part number B-200-71-2

Compatibility

Cross-references to Swagelok part number B-200-71-2. Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct substitute for brass bulkhead female connectors with 1/8 inch FNPT thread and compression tube end connections in high-pressure fluid or gas systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber, HVAC technician, or qualified instrumentation technician familiar with compression fittings and NPT thread sealing practices. Depressurize and isolate the system fully before removing or installing any fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant to the FNPT threads per the system fluid and pressure requirements. Do not over-tighten the compression nut, as brass fittings can be damaged by excessive torque; follow standard compression fitting assembly practice for the tubing material and diameter in use.
