Parker 5-2 Gbz-ss Compression Tube Connector 1/8 in Ss

Product Description

The PARKER 5-2 GBZ-SS is a stainless steel compression tube connector designed to join tubing to female NPT-threaded ports in fluid and gas distribution systems. It features a 1/8 inch thread size with compression-to-FNPT end connections, providing a reliable, leak-resistant seal without the need for solder or flare tooling. Rated for a maximum working pressure of 8100 psi, this fitting is built for demanding applications where pressure integrity and corrosion resistance are critical. Plumbers, pipefitters, and instrumentation technicians install this type of fitting in both high-pressure and corrosive-environment service lines.

This compression connector is suited for use in instrumentation tubing systems, hydraulic control lines, pneumatic circuits, and process piping installations. It is appropriate for both commercial and industrial environments where stainless steel construction is required to resist corrosion from aggressive media or harsh ambient conditions. The compression end accepts standard tubing and creates a secure mechanical connection, while the FNPT end threads directly into a female NPT port on valves, manifolds, or equipment panels.

Key Features

• Stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in demanding service environments
• Maximum working pressure of 8100 psi supports high-pressure instrumentation and process applications
• Compression x FNPT end connections allow tool-free tubing installation without solder or flare
• 1/8 inch FPT thread standard ensures compatibility with standard NPT-threaded ports
• Compact connector form factor suitable for tight-space panel and manifold installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for compression tube systems using 1/8 inch FNPT-threaded ports in instrumentation, hydraulic, and process piping assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified plumber, pipefitter, or instrumentation technician familiar with compression fitting assembly procedures. Depressurize and isolate the system completely before removing or installing any fittings. Ensure tubing is cut cleanly and deburred before seating it into the compression end to achieve a proper seal. Follow applicable codes such as the IPC or applicable ASME standards for pressure piping when selecting fittings for rated-pressure service.
