Parker 8-8 FH2BZ-SS Bulkhead Connector 1/2 in Ss

Product Description

The PARKER 8-8 FH2BZ-SS is a stainless steel compression tube bulkhead connector designed to pass a tubing line through a panel, bulkhead, or enclosure wall while maintaining a secure, leak-resistant seal. One end accepts a compression tube connection and the other terminates in a male NPT (MNPT) thread at 1/2 inch. Rated to a maximum working pressure of 6300 psi, this fitting is built for demanding fluid and gas line applications. With an overall length of 2.712 inches and a weight of 0.3153 pounds, it fits cleanly into tight installations. Licensed plumbers and industrial pipefitters are the typical installers.

This fitting is suited for hydraulic lines, instrumentation tubing runs, process fluid systems, and panel-mounted plumbing assemblies where a tube line must pass through a structural barrier. The compression-by-MNPT configuration makes it compatible with standard NPT-threaded ports on valves, manifolds, and instrumentation housings. It is commonly used in commercial, industrial, and OEM equipment installations where stainless steel corrosion resistance and high-pressure integrity are required.

Key Features

• Maximum working pressure of 6300 psi for high-pressure service
• Stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in harsh environments
• Compression x MNPT end connections allow panel pass-through with standard NPT port termination
• 1/2 inch thread size with MPT thread standard
• Overall length of 2.712 inches for compact bulkhead installations
• Single-piece unit — no separate components required

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style compression tube bulkhead connector for use with 1/2 inch compression tubing and standard 1/2 inch male NPT-threaded ports in fluid or gas line assemblies requiring panel pass-through.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter familiar with compression fittings and NPT thread connections. Depressurize and isolate the line completely before removing or installing any fitting. Apply appropriate thread sealant to the MNPT end per system fluid compatibility requirements. Do not overtighten the compression nut — follow the fitting manufacturer's turn-past-finger-tight guidance for the tubing material being used.
