Parker 6-2 Fbz-b Compression X Mnpt Brass Connector 1/8

Product Description

The PARKER 6-2 FBZ-B is a straight brass compression tube connector designed to join tubing to a male National Pipe Thread (MNPT) port. Manufactured from brass conforming to ASTM-B-453 and ASTM-B16 standards, this fitting delivers a reliable, leak-resistant connection in fluid and gas systems. With a maximum working pressure of 2300 psi and an overall length of 1.38 inches, it suits demanding service environments where compact, high-integrity connections are required. The compression end eliminates the need for soldering or flaring, making installation straightforward for plumbers, HVAC technicians, and instrumentation professionals working on tube-to-pipe transitions.

This connector is used wherever a compression tube line must terminate at a 1/8 inch male pipe thread port. Common applications include refrigeration and HVAC instrument lines, pneumatic control tubing, hydraulic sensing lines, and general plumbing instrumentation work in both residential and light commercial settings. The straight configuration suits inline runs where a direct compression-to-threaded connection is the most practical choice. It is a single-piece fitting sold individually.

Key Features

• Straight compression-to-MNPT configuration for direct inline tube-to-pipe connections
• Brass construction per ASTM-B-453 and ASTM-B16 for corrosion resistance and durability
• 2300 psi maximum working pressure rated for demanding fluid and gas service
• 1/8 inch male pipe thread end for compatibility with standard NPT ports
• Compression fitting end requires no soldering, flaring, or special tooling
• Compact overall length of 1.38 inches for tight-space installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or upgrade fitting for systems requiring a straight compression-to-1/8 inch MNPT connection. Cross-reference Swagelok part number B-600-1-2 for equivalent fitment verification.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber, HVAC technician, or qualified instrumentation mechanic. Depressurize and isolate the line completely before disassembling any existing fitting. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to the MNPT end per applicable plumbing or mechanical codes; do not apply sealant to the compression end. Tighten the compression nut to finger-tight plus the manufacturer-recommended additional turns per standard compression fitting practice, and pressure-test the joint before returning the system to service.
