Parker 8-16 Fbz-ss Compression Tube Connector 1 in Ss

Product Description

The PARKER 8-16 FBZ-SS is a stainless steel compression tube connector designed to join tubing to male NPT threaded pipe in fluid and gas distribution systems. This fitting provides a secure, leak-resistant mechanical connection without the need for solder or welding. With a maximum working pressure of 6300 psi and an overall length of 2.28 inches, it is built for demanding industrial, HVAC, and plumbing applications where corrosion resistance and pressure integrity are critical. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians working with high-pressure tubing systems rely on this type of fitting for reliable, long-service connections in both new construction and retrofit work.

This connector is suited for residential and commercial installations where stainless steel construction is required to resist corrosion from aggressive fluids or harsh environments. The compression-by-MNPT configuration allows direct connection of compression tubing to a male NPT threaded port on valves, manifolds, or equipment. It is commonly used in refrigeration lines, hydraulic systems, instrumentation, and process piping where tube-to-pipe transitions are needed with a pressure-rated mechanical fitting.

Key Features

• Stainless steel construction provides excellent corrosion resistance for demanding service environments
• Maximum working pressure of 6300 psi supports high-pressure fluid and gas system applications
• Compression x MNPT end connections enable tube-to-threaded-pipe transitions without soldering or welding
• 1 inch thread size with MPT thread standard for broad compatibility with standard NPT ported equipment
• Compact overall length of 2.28 inches suits tight installation spaces
• Single-piece unit with a package quantity of 1 for individual replacement or spot installation use

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for systems requiring a 1 inch compression-to-male-NPT tube connector in stainless steel construction rated for high-pressure service.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC and ASME piping codes. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before disassembling any existing fittings or making new connections. Hand-tighten the compression nut onto the tubing, then use appropriate wrenches to achieve a secure, leak-free seat without over-torquing the fitting body. Inspect the compression ferrule and tubing end for damage before assembly to ensure a proper seal.
