Parker 8-6 Fbz-ss Compression Connector 3/8 in Ss

Product Description

The PARKER 8-6 FBZ-SS is a stainless steel compression tube connector designed to join tubing to male NPT threaded ports in fluid and gas distribution systems. It creates a secure, leak-resistant mechanical connection without solder or flare tooling. The fitting accepts a 3/8-inch thread and is rated for a maximum working pressure of 6300 psi, making it suitable for demanding hydraulic, pneumatic, and process piping applications. With an overall length of 1.71 inches and a weight of 0.1445 pounds, it is a compact, high-strength fitting. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this type of fitting in both commercial and industrial settings.

This connector is used in applications where a compression-style tube end must transition to a male NPT pipe thread. Typical install scenarios include process lines, instrumentation tubing, hydraulic manifolds, and compressed-gas distribution systems. The stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for corrosive environments, high-pressure service, and installations where carbon steel or brass fittings are not suitable. It is sold individually and is a direct-fit component in any system requiring a Compression x MNPT transition at 3/8-inch thread size.

Key Features

• Stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in harsh or wet environments
• Compression x MNPT end connections for tool-free tube attachment to NPT-threaded ports
• 6300 psi maximum working pressure for high-pressure hydraulic and pneumatic service
• 3/8-inch MPT thread standard for broad system compatibility
• Compact at 1.71 inches overall length for tight-space installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style compression tube connector for systems requiring a 3/8-inch Compression x MNPT fitting transition in stainless steel construction.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber, pipefitter, or qualified mechanical technician. Depressurize and isolate the system completely before removing or installing any compression fitting. Hand-tighten the compression nut first, then apply the appropriate number of turns with a wrench per the fitting manufacturer guidance — do not overtighten, as this can damage the compression ferrule. Installations on gas or high-pressure hydraulic lines should comply with applicable codes including IFGC and ASME B31 standards where required.
