Parker 8-8 Dbz-b Compression Female Elbow 1/2 in Brass

Product Description

The PARKER 8-8 DBZ-B is a 90-degree compression tube female elbow fitting designed for connecting tubing to female NPT-threaded ports in fluid and gas systems. Manufactured from brass conforming to ASTM-B-124 and BS2872 standards, this fitting delivers a rated maximum working pressure of 2200 psi. The compression-by-FNPT end configuration allows a secure, leak-resistant tube connection on one end and a threaded female port connection on the other. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians use this type of fitting in instrumentation lines, refrigeration tubing runs, pneumatic circuits, and general plumbing applications where a direction change from tubing to a threaded port is required.

This fitting is suited for residential and commercial installations where a 90-degree directional change is needed between a compression tube connection and a 1/2-inch female NPT port. It is commonly installed in compressed air lines, hydraulic instrumentation circuits, HVAC refrigerant-adjacent tubing, and process fluid systems. The brass construction makes it compatible with a range of media including water, air, and many hydraulic fluids. Its compact 90-degree elbow profile is useful in tight-space installations where straight fittings cannot be routed effectively.

Key Features

• 90-degree elbow configuration for direction changes in tubing runs
• Compression x FNPT end connections for tool-friendly, leak-resistant assembly
• Maximum working pressure rated at 2200 psi
• Brass construction meets ASTM-B-124 and BS2872 material standards
• 1/2-inch thread size on the FNPT end for standard port connections

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style compression tube female elbow fitting for use in systems requiring a 1/2-inch FNPT threaded port connection with a compression tube inlet. Cross-reference Swagelok part number B-810-8-8 for compatibility verification.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber, pipefitter, or qualified HVAC technician familiar with compression fitting assembly. De-pressurize and isolate the system completely before removing or installing any fittings. Compression fittings require proper tube preparation including clean square cuts and deburring to achieve a reliable seal. Follow applicable codes including IPC and ASME B31 piping standards for the system type being serviced.
