Parker 8-8 Dbz-ss Compression Female Elbow 1/2 in Fnpt Ss

Product Description

The PARKER 8-8 DBZ-SS is a compression tube female elbow fitting designed to connect tubing to female NPT threaded ports at a 90-degree angle. Constructed from stainless steel and manufactured to ASTM-B-124 and BS2872 standards, this fitting is built for demanding fluid and gas line applications. It carries a maximum working pressure of 6300 psi, making it suitable for high-pressure instrumentation, hydraulic, and process piping systems. The compression-by-FNPT end configuration allows a tube to be secured on one end while threading directly into a female port on the other. Plumbers, pipefitters, and instrumentation technicians install this fitting in commercial and industrial environments where corrosion resistance and pressure integrity are required.

This elbow fitting is used in residential and commercial plumbing, HVAC refrigerant lines, pneumatic systems, and industrial process piping where a direction change from tubing to a female threaded port is needed. The 1/2 inch thread size and compression-by-FNPT configuration make it a common choice for connecting copper or stainless tubing runs to valves, manifolds, gauges, and other threaded components. The stainless steel body resists corrosion in wet, chemical-exposed, or outdoor service environments.

Key Features

• Stainless steel body meets ASTM-B-124 and BS2872 material standards for consistent quality
• Maximum working pressure rated at 6300 psi for high-pressure service applications
• Compression by FNPT end connections allow secure tube-to-threaded-port installation
• 1/2 inch thread size fits standard NPT female ports
• 90-degree elbow geometry routes tubing in tight or confined spaces
• Corrosion-resistant stainless steel construction suited for wet and chemical environments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style compression fitting for systems requiring a 1/2 inch FNPT female elbow connection with a compression tube inlet, typical in instrumentation, plumbing, and process piping applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber, pipefitter, or qualified instrumentation technician. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before removing or installing any compression fittings. Use appropriate wrenches to avoid over-tightening, which can damage compression ferrules or thread seats. Verify thread compatibility with the mating female port before assembly, and confirm the tubing OD matches the compression end of the fitting.
