Parker 8-6 Dbz-ss Compression Female Elbow 3/8 in Ss

Product Description

The PARKER 8-6 DBZ-SS is a compression tube female elbow fitting designed to connect tubing to female NPT threaded ports at a 90-degree angle. It is manufactured from stainless steel and rated for a maximum working pressure of 6300 psi, making it suitable for high-pressure fluid and gas line applications. The fitting uses a compression end on one side and a female NPT (FNPT) thread on the other, allowing a secure, leak-resistant connection without soldering or welding. It meets ASTM-B-124 and BS2872 material standards. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors typically install this type of fitting in process, instrumentation, and utility piping systems.

This fitting is used in residential, commercial, and industrial plumbing and instrumentation applications where a directional change is needed between a compression tube line and a female-threaded port. Its stainless steel construction makes it well suited for corrosive environments, high-purity fluid systems, and installations requiring long service life. The 3/8 inch thread size is a common size found in refrigeration, pneumatic, hydraulic, and general fluid service lines.

Key Features

• Stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance and durability
• Meets ASTM-B-124 and BS2872 material standards
• 3/8 inch FPT thread standard for broad compatibility with standard threaded ports
• No soldering or welding required for installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style compression tube female elbow for use in high-pressure fluid and gas piping systems requiring a 3/8 inch FNPT threaded connection and a compression tube inlet.

Installation Notes

This fitting is typically installed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters. Shut off and depressurize the line completely before disassembling any existing connection or installing this fitting. Use appropriate thread sealant on the FNPT side per system requirements and applicable codes such as the IPC or IFGC. Hand-tighten the compression nut before applying a final wrench turn to avoid over-tightening and deforming the ferrule.
