Parker 6-4 Cbz-b Compression Male Elbow 1/4 in Brass

Product Description

The PARKER 6-4 CBZ-B is a 90-degree compression-to-male NPT tube fitting machined from brass to ASTM-B-124 and BS2872 standards. It connects a compression tube end to a male NPT threaded port in a single 90-degree turn, making it well suited for routing tubing in tight spaces where a straight fitting will not work. The fitting is rated to 2300 psi maximum working pressure. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and instrumentation mechanics install this type of fitting in refrigeration, pneumatic, and fluid-handling systems where a leak-free metal compression joint is required.

This fitting is used in residential and light commercial applications involving copper or compatible soft-metal tubing routed to threaded ports on valves, manifolds, or equipment panels. The 90-degree elbow geometry allows tubing to exit perpendicular to the port face, reducing bend stress on the tube and keeping installations compact. It is a standard choice when connecting instrumentation tubing, refrigerant lines, or pneumatic control lines to threaded fittings on equipment where space or tube routing demands a directional change at the connection point.

Key Features

• 90-degree elbow routes tubing perpendicular to the threaded port for compact installations
• Brass construction per ASTM-B-124 and BS2872 for corrosion resistance and pressure integrity
• Rated to 2300 psi maximum working pressure
• Compression x MNPT end connections eliminate the need for solder or flare tools at the tube end
• 1/4 inch male NPT thread conforms to MPT thread standard for broad compatibility

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style compression fitting for use with compatible compression tube ends and 1/4 inch male NPT threaded ports in plumbing, HVAC, and fluid or pneumatic instrumentation systems. Cross-reference Swagelok part number B-600-2-4 for equivalency verification.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber, HVAC technician, or qualified instrumentation mechanic. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before removing or installing any compression fitting. Use an appropriately sized wrench on the fitting hex; do not over-tighten, as brass fittings can crack or distort the compression ferrule if excessive force is applied. Verify that the tubing is cut square, deburred, and fully seated in the compression sleeve before tightening the nut.
