Parker 3-2 Fbz-ss Compression Tube Connector 3/16 in Ss

Product Description

The PARKER 3-2 FBZ-SS is a stainless steel compression tube connector designed to join 3/16-inch OD tubing to a male NPT threaded port. It provides a secure, leak-resistant connection in high-pressure fluid and gas systems, with a maximum working pressure rating of 10,300 psi. The fitting uses a compression end on one side and a male NPT thread on the other, making it a straight inline connector suited for instrumentation, hydraulic, and pneumatic applications. Installation is performed by licensed plumbers, instrumentation technicians, and HVAC or industrial service professionals working with small-bore tubing systems.

This connector is used in applications requiring a reliable transition between compression tubing and NPT-threaded ports. Typical installations include instrument sensing lines, control panel tubing runs, hydraulic instrument loops, and high-pressure gas sampling systems. The stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for corrosive environments, high-temperature service, and applications where contamination from carbon steel is not acceptable. It is suitable for both residential and commercial or industrial installations where small-bore tubing interfaces with threaded fittings.

Key Features

• Stainless steel body resists corrosion and withstands demanding service environments
• Maximum working pressure of 10,300 psi for high-pressure instrument and hydraulic applications
• Compression x MNPT end connections for tool-assisted, leak-resistant tube-to-thread transitions
• 3/16-inch tube outside diameter compatibility for small-bore instrumentation tubing
• MPT thread standard for compatibility with standard NPT-threaded ports and manifolds

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for systems using 3/16-inch OD compression tubing terminating at a male NPT threaded port, conforming to the MPT thread standard.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified plumber or instrumentation technician familiar with compression fitting assembly procedures. Depressurize and isolate the system completely before removing or installing any fitting. Hand-tighten the compression nut onto the tubing before applying the appropriate wrench turns per the fitting manufacturer's assembly guidelines — do not overtighten. Verify system integrity at full working pressure before returning the line to service.
