Parker 8-8 GH2BZ-SS Bulkhead Female Connector 1/2 in

Product Description

The PARKER 8-8 GH2BZ-SS is a stainless steel bulkhead female connector designed to pass a compression tube 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 end terminates in a female NPT (FNPT) thread, allowing the fitting to mate directly with a threaded port or pipe on the opposite side of the panel. Rated to 6,300 psi maximum working pressure, this fitting is built for demanding fluid and gas transfer applications. It is installed by licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and industrial pipefitters working with compressed gas, hydraulic, or instrumentation tubing systems.

This bulkhead connector is suited for residential and commercial applications where tubing must pass cleanly through a partition or equipment panel. Typical scenarios include refrigeration equipment cabinets, instrumentation enclosures, and process control panels where maintaining panel integrity and pressure ratings is required. The 1/2 inch thread size accommodates common tubing runs found in these system types. Stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for corrosive environments or systems requiring material compatibility with aggressive media.

Key Features

• Stainless steel body for corrosion resistance in demanding service environments
• Compression x FNPT end connections allow direct panel pass-through with a threaded port interface
• Maximum working pressure of 6,300 psi supports high-pressure fluid and gas systems
• 1/2 inch thread size suits common tubing sizes in HVAC, refrigeration, and instrumentation applications
• Bulkhead design maintains enclosure integrity while routing tubing through panels

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation bulkhead female connector for systems using 1/2 inch compression tube fittings with FNPT port connections in stainless steel service.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified plumber, pipefitter, or HVAC technician familiar with compression fittings and threaded pipe connections. Depressurize and isolate the system completely before removing or installing any fittings. Use appropriate thread sealant on the FNPT end per system requirements and applicable codes such as the IPC or IFGC. Do not over-tighten the compression nut, as this can deform the ferrule and compromise the seal.
