Parker 6-8 Cbz-b Compression Male Elbow Brass 1/2 Inch

Product Description

The PARKER 6-8 CBZ-B is a 90-degree compression tube male elbow fitting manufactured from brass to ASTM-B-124 and BS2872 standards. It connects a compression tube end to a male NPT threaded port, creating a leak-resistant right-angle transition in fluid or gas lines. The fitting carries a maximum working pressure of 2300 psi, making it suitable for demanding hydraulic, pneumatic, and instrumentation applications. Plumbers, pipefitters, and instrumentation technicians install this type of fitting when routing tubing around obstacles or changing line direction within a system. The 1/2 inch MNPT thread provides a standard taper connection to ported components, valves, or manifolds.

This fitting is used in residential, commercial, and industrial plumbing, HVAC refrigerant or fluid lines, compressed air systems, and instrumentation tubing runs where a 90-degree directional change is required. It is well suited for copper or compatible soft-metal tubing installations where a compression-style connection is preferred over solder or flare. The male NPT end threads directly into a female-ported fitting, valve body, or manifold. Rated to 2300 psi, it handles the pressure demands of most process and utility fluid systems encountered in the field.

Key Features

• 90-degree elbow geometry routes tubing in tight spaces without bending or kinking
• Compression x MNPT end connections allow tool-free tube insertion with wrench-tightened compression nut
• Brass construction meets ASTM-B-124 and BS2872 material standards
• 2300 psi maximum working pressure suits hydraulic, pneumatic, and process fluid service
• 1/2 inch male NPT thread provides standard taper fitment to ported components

Compatibility

Designed for use with compression tube fittings and female NPT-ported components in systems requiring a 90-degree tube-to-pipe transition. Cross-reference Swagelok part number B-600-2-8 for compatibility reference.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified plumber, pipefitter, or instrumentation technician following applicable code requirements. Depressurize and isolate the line before disassembly or installation. Apply thread sealant to the MNPT threads per job specifications; do not over-tighten the compression nut, as brass fittings can distort under excessive torque. Verify tubing is cut square, deburred, and fully seated in the compression body before tightening.
