Parker 8-6 Gbz-ss Compression Tube Connector 3/8 in Ss

Product Description

The PARKER 8-6 GBZ-SS is a stainless steel compression tube connector designed to create a leak-tight joint between a compression tube end and a female NPT (FNPT) threaded port. Built for demanding fluid and gas handling systems, this fitting accepts a 3/8-inch thread and carries a maximum working pressure of 6300 psi. The stainless steel body provides corrosion resistance suitable for aggressive media and harsh service environments. Plumbers, pipefitters, and industrial maintenance technicians install this type of connector where a permanent, pressure-rated transition between tubing and threaded pipe is required.

This compression-to-FNPT connector is suited for use in high-pressure instrumentation lines, hydraulic circuits, pneumatic systems, and process piping installations where stainless steel construction and reliable tube grip are necessary. It is appropriate for both commercial and industrial applications requiring a dependable, reusable compression fitting connection at a female NPT port.

Key Features

• Stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet, chemical, and high-cycle service environments
• Maximum working pressure of 6300 psi supports high-pressure instrumentation and hydraulic applications
• 3/8-inch thread size with FPT thread standard for direct connection to female NPT ports
• Compression x FNPT end connections allow transition from tubing to threaded pipe without welding or soldering
• Compact single-piece connector body simplifies installation in tight spaces

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style compression fitting connector for use in systems with 3/8-inch female NPT threaded ports requiring a compression tube end connection.

Installation Notes

This fitting is installed by qualified plumbers, pipefitters, or instrumentation technicians following applicable codes such as the IPC. Always depressurize and isolate the system before disassembly or installation. Hand-tighten the compression nut first, then advance with a wrench per standard compression fitting practice — do not overtighten, as stainless fittings can gall if excess torque is applied. Verify system pressure rating does not exceed the fitting maximum before returning the line to service.
