Parker 6-8 Fbz-b Compression X Mnpt Brass Connector

Product Description

The PARKER 6-8 FBZ-B is a straight brass compression tube connector designed to join compression tubing to a male NPT threaded port in a single inline fitting. Rated to 2300 psi maximum working pressure, it is built from brass conforming to ASTM-B-453 and ASTM-B16 standards, making it suitable for demanding fluid and gas line applications. The overall length of 1.82 inches keeps the fitting compact for tight installations. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and instrumentation technicians install this type of fitting where a leak-tight, pressure-rated transition from compression tubing to an NPT-threaded component is required.

This fitting is used in residential and commercial plumbing, HVAC refrigerant and fluid lines, and industrial instrumentation tubing systems wherever a compression-to-male-NPT connection is needed. The straight configuration suits direct inline connections without angled routing. Its brass construction and conformance to ASTM standards make it appropriate for use with compatible copper or brass tubing in pressurized service lines. A Swagelok equivalent reference part number is B-600-1-8 for cross-reference purposes.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber, HVAC technician, or qualified instrumentation mechanic. Shut off all system pressure and depressurize the line before disassembling or connecting any fittings. Hand-tighten the compression nut onto the tubing and then tighten with appropriate wrenching per the fitting manufacturer's standard procedure. Verify the connection is leak-free before returning the system to service, in accordance with applicable local codes and standards such as IPC or IFGC where relevant.
