Parker 6-2 Cbz-b Brass Compression Tube Male Elbow

Product Description

The PARKER 6-2 CBZ-B is a brass compression tube male elbow fitting designed to create a 90-degree directional change in tubing runs while transitioning from a compression connection to a male NPT threaded port. Constructed from brass, this fitting handles up to 2300 psi working pressure, making it well suited for high-pressure instrumentation, pneumatic, and fluid-control systems. The compression end grips the tube mechanically without solder or flare tools, while the 1/8 inch MNPT end threads directly into a female NPT port on valves, manifolds, or equipment. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and instrumentation fitters regularly use this style of fitting in tight-space routing applications.

This fitting is used in residential and commercial systems where a tube line must change direction and connect to a threaded port in a single component. Common applications include refrigeration controls, pneumatic instrument lines, gas sampling systems, and hydraulic control circuits. The compression-by-MNPT configuration eliminates the need for a separate union or adapter, keeping the connection count low and the assembly compact. The brass construction resists corrosion in air, water, and many mild chemical service environments.

Key Features

• Brass construction provides corrosion resistance for air, water, and mild fluid service
• 2300 psi maximum working pressure supports demanding pneumatic and instrumentation applications
• Compression x MNPT end connections allow tube-to-threaded-port transitions without additional adapters
• 1/8 inch male NPT thread mates directly to standard female NPT ports on valves and equipment
• 90-degree elbow geometry routes tubing around obstructions in confined spaces
• No solder, flare, or special tooling required on the compression end

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style compression tube male elbow fitting for use in standard NPT-threaded fluid and pneumatic systems requiring a compression tube connection at 1/8 inch male NPT. Cross-reference Swagelok part number B-600-2-6 for equivalency verification.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber, HVAC technician, or qualified instrumentation fitter following applicable system codes. Depressurize and isolate the line completely before removing any existing fitting or installing this component. Thread the MNPT end into the female NPT port using an appropriate thread sealant rated for the service fluid, and tighten to the fitting manufacturer's standard wrench-turns guideline for brass NPT connections. On the compression end, ensure the tube is cut square, fully inserted, and the nut is tightened to the correct number of turns past finger-tight per compression fitting practice — do not overtighten, as brass compression fittings can deform.
