Parker 8 Kbz-ss Compression Tube Union Stainless Steel

Product Description

The PARKER 8 KBZ-SS is a stainless steel compression tube union designed to join two sections of tubing in a single inline connection. It uses all-compression end connections on both sides, eliminating the need for soldering, brazing, or threading during installation. Rated to a maximum working pressure of 6300 psi, this union is built for demanding fluid and gas line applications where leak-free performance and corrosion resistance are required. Plumbers, pipefitters, and instrumentation technicians working in high-pressure or corrosive environments commonly specify this fitting type.

This union is suited for use in hydraulic lines, instrument tubing runs, pneumatic systems, and process piping where stainless steel is required for compatibility with aggressive media or sanitary requirements. It is appropriate for both commercial and industrial installations. The all-compression design allows for quick field assembly without heat or specialized welding equipment, making it practical for service work and new construction alike.

Key Features

• All-compression end connections on both sides for tool-accessible, no-solder assembly
• Stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in harsh or chemically active environments
• Maximum working pressure of 6300 psi suits high-pressure fluid and gas line service
• Inline union configuration allows straight tube-to-tube joining without offset
• Sold individually, allowing single-piece procurement for service and repair work

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style compression tube union compatible with standard compression tubing systems in high-pressure fluid, gas, and instrumentation line applications.

Installation Notes

Installation of compression tube fittings should be performed by a licensed plumber, pipefitter, or qualified instrumentation technician. Shut off and depressurize the line fully before disassembly or fitting installation. Ensure tubing ends are cleanly cut, deburred, and free of deformation before seating in the compression ferrule. Follow applicable codes including ASME B31.3 for process piping or local plumbing codes as required by jurisdiction.
