Parker 8-2 Fbz-ss Compression Connector 1/2 Od X 1/8 Mnpt Ss

Product Description

The PARKER 8-2 FBZ-SS is a stainless steel compression tube connector designed to join a 1/2-inch outside diameter tube to a 1/8-inch male NPT threaded port. It provides a secure, leak-resistant mechanical connection without the need for soldering or flaring. Rated to 6300 psi maximum working pressure, this fitting is built for demanding fluid and gas systems where corrosion resistance and pressure integrity are critical. It is installed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, HVAC technicians, and instrumentation mechanics working on high-pressure tubing runs in commercial, industrial, and process environments.

This compression connector is suited for use in hydraulic lines, pneumatic systems, refrigeration tubing, and instrumentation plumbing where a compression-to-male NPT transition is required. The stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for corrosive media, sanitary applications, and outdoor installations where carbon steel fittings would be unsuitable. Its compact body fits in tight panel or manifold configurations where space is limited.

Key Features

• Stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in harsh or wet environments
• Compression x MNPT end connections provide a reliable tube-to-threaded-port transition
• 6300 psi maximum working pressure rating for high-pressure system use
• 1/2-inch tube outside diameter compression end accepts standard tubing without flaring
• 1/8-inch male NPT thread conforms to standard MPT thread specification
• Single-piece package quantity simplifies procurement for low-volume or repair work

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-install compression fitting for fluid and gas systems requiring a 1/2-inch OD compression to 1/8-inch MNPT connection in stainless steel construction.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified pipefitter, plumber, or instrumentation technician familiar with compression fitting assembly. Depressurize and isolate the system completely before removing any existing fitting or installing this connector. Hand-tighten the compression nut first, then advance with a wrench per standard compression fitting practice — do not overtighten, as stainless fittings can gall. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male NPT threads in accordance with applicable plumbing and piping codes.
