Parker 8-8 Fbz-ss Compression X Mnpt Tube Connector

Product Description

The PARKER 8-8 FBZ-SS is a stainless steel compression tube connector designed to join tubing to a male NPT threaded port in plumbing, HVAC, and industrial fluid-handling systems. It features a compression end on one side and a male NPT (MNPT) threaded end on the other, allowing a secure, leak-resistant connection without soldering or welding. With a maximum working pressure rating of 6300 psi, this fitting is built for demanding service conditions. At 1.93 inches in overall length and weighing approximately 0.20 pounds, it is a compact and durable solution. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians are the primary installers of this fitting type.

This connector is suited for residential and commercial applications where tubing must terminate at a threaded port on a valve, manifold, or equipment fitting. The 1/2 inch thread size accommodates standard half-inch male NPT connections, making it compatible with a wide range of threaded components found in refrigerant piping, instrumentation lines, hydraulic circuits, and process fluid systems. Its stainless steel construction resists corrosion in both wet and chemically active environments.

Key Features

• Stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in demanding fluid and gas service environments
• Maximum working pressure of 6300 psi supports high-pressure system applications
• Compression x MNPT end connections allow tool-free tube installation on one side with standard threaded port entry on the other
• 1/2 inch thread size fits standard half-inch male NPT ports
• Compact overall length of 1.93 inches suits installations with limited clearance

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for systems using 1/2 inch male NPT threaded ports with compression tube connections in plumbing, HVAC, and fluid-handling applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber, pipefitter, or qualified HVAC technician in accordance with applicable codes including the IPC and IFGC where relevant. Depressurize and isolate the system fully before removing or installing any fittings. Compression fittings require proper tube preparation including a clean, square cut and deburring to achieve a leak-free seal. Do not overtighten the compression nut, as this can deform the ferrule and compromise the connection.
