Parker 8BLEN8-B Compression Tube End Cap Brass 2200 Psi

Product Description

The PARKER 8BLEN8-B is a brass compression tube end cap designed to terminate the open end of a 1/2-inch OD tube in fluid and gas distribution systems. It uses a standard compression fitting connection, allowing installation without welding, soldering, or special tooling. Rated to a maximum working pressure of 2200 psi, this end cap is suited for high-pressure instrumentation, pneumatic, and hydraulic lines. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and instrumentation technicians install this type of fitting in commercial and industrial applications where a clean, leak-free tube termination is required.

This fitting is used wherever a compression-style tube end must be capped off, whether temporarily during system commissioning or permanently in a finalized installation. Common applications include instrumentation tubing runs, hydraulic control lines, pneumatic distribution manifolds, and process piping in industrial and commercial facilities. The brass construction makes it compatible with water, air, oil, and many non-corrosive fluid media. Its compact form factor allows it to fit in tight tubing layouts without requiring additional clearance.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style compression tube end cap for 1/2-inch OD tubing systems. Cross-references to Swagelok part number B-810-C for reference purposes.

Installation Notes

This fitting should be installed by a qualified pipefitter, plumber, or instrumentation technician in accordance with applicable codes. Depressurize and isolate the tubing system completely before installing or removing any compression fitting. Use an appropriate tubing cutter to ensure a clean, square tube end before seating the compression ferrule. Do not overtighten — follow the fitting manufacturer's recommended turns-past-finger-tight procedure for compression connections.
