Parker 3-2 Gbz-ss Compression Tube Connector Ss

Product Description

The PARKER 3-2 GBZ-SS is a compression tube connector designed to join a 3/16-inch outside diameter tube to a 1/8-inch female NPT (FNPT) port. Constructed from stainless steel, this fitting is built for high-pressure applications, rated to a maximum working pressure of 10,300 psi. The compression-style end requires no welding or soldering, relying on a ferrule-based mechanical seal to create a leak-tight connection. Licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and instrumentation mechanics install this type of fitting in fluid and gas distribution systems where corrosion resistance and pressure integrity are critical.

This connector is suited for use in hydraulic instrumentation lines, pneumatic control circuits, chemical process tubing, and similar applications where stainless steel construction is required to resist corrosion or high-pressure service conditions. The FNPT end threads into a standard female pipe thread port, while the compression end accepts 3/16-inch OD tubing. It is appropriate for both commercial and industrial installations requiring a reliable, compact inline connection.

Key Features

• Stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in demanding service environments
• Rated to 10,300 psi maximum working pressure
• 3/16-inch OD compression inlet accepts standard tubing without welding or soldering
• 1/8-inch FNPT outlet threads directly into standard female pipe thread ports
• Compact connector form factor suitable for tight installation spaces

Compatibility

Designed as a compression-to-FNPT connector for 3/16-inch OD tubing with 1/8-inch female NPT threaded ports in fluid and gas handling systems. No specific compatible model or system data was provided in the product input.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber, pipefitter, or HVAC instrumentation technician. Shut down and depressurize the system fully before removing or installing any compression fittings. Hand-tighten the compression nut first, then advance with a wrench per the fitting manufacturer's standard practice — do not overtighten, as this can deform the ferrule and compromise the seal. Verify the NPT threaded end is sealed with an appropriate thread sealant rated for the service fluid and pressure before returning the system to service.
