Parker 6-6 Dbz-b Compression Female Elbow 3/8 Inch Brass

Product Description

The PARKER 6-6 DBZ-B is a brass compression tube female elbow designed for fluid and gas line connections in plumbing, HVAC, and instrumentation systems. This 90-degree elbow transitions from a compression tube connection to a 3/8-inch female NPT (FNPT) threaded port. Constructed from brass meeting ASTM-B-124 and BS2872 standards, it handles working pressures up to 2300 psi. The compression end grips tubing mechanically without solder or flare, making it a reliable choice for field installation where repeatable, leak-free connections are required.

This fitting is used in residential and commercial applications where copper or compatible tubing must connect to an NPT-threaded female port at a 90-degree angle. Typical install scenarios include refrigerant line accessories, compressed air distribution, hydraulic instrument tubing, and potable water systems. The 3/8-inch thread size suits a wide range of standard service line configurations encountered in mechanical and plumbing work.

Key Features

• 90-degree elbow configuration routes tubing in tight spaces without bending
• Compression x FNPT end connections eliminate the need for soldering or flaring
• Rated to 2300 psi maximum working pressure
• Brass construction meets ASTM-B-124 and BS2872 material standards
• 3/8-inch FPT thread on the female end for compatibility with standard NPT fittings

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style compression tube female elbow for use with standard compression tubing and 3/8-inch FNPT-threaded ports in fluid and gas systems. Cross-references to Swagelok part number B-600-8-6.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, or instrumentation mechanics. Shut off all fluid or gas supply and depressurize the line before disassembly or fitting installation. Hand-tighten the compression nut onto the tubing, then advance with a wrench per standard compression fitting practice — do not overtighten. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to the NPT threads in accordance with IPC and IFGC guidelines for the service type.
