Parker 8BLP8-B Compression Tube Plug Brass 2200 Psi

Product Description

The PARKER 8BLP8-B is a brass compression tube plug designed to seal off the open end of a compression tubing line in fluid or gas distribution systems. Constructed from brass for corrosion resistance and reliable sealing, this plug accepts a standard compression end connection and is rated to a maximum working pressure of 2200 psi. It is a single-piece, fully sealed fitting with no through-path, making it the correct choice when a port or tubing run needs to be capped and pressure-tested without disassembling the surrounding circuit. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and instrumentation technicians install these fittings in both residential and light commercial applications.

This plug is suited for use in compressed air, hydraulic, and fluid instrumentation lines where a compression-style termination is required. It is commonly installed during system commissioning to isolate unused ports, during phased installations where future connections are planned, or as a permanent seal on decommissioned branch lines. The compression fitting design allows installation without soldering or threading, simplifying service in tight spaces.

Key Features

• Brass construction provides corrosion resistance in air, water, and compatible fluid systems
• Compression end connection eliminates the need for solder or thread sealant
• Rated to 2200 psi maximum working pressure for high-pressure line applications
• Compact, single-piece plug design with no through-path for positive line termination
• Sold individually, suitable for single-port or small-quantity service calls

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style compression tube plug compatible with standard compression tubing systems. Cross-references to Swagelok part number B-810-P for equivalent fitment verification.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, or instrumentation technicians following applicable codes such as IPC or ASME B31.3 for piping systems. Depressurize and isolate the line completely before removing any existing fitting or installing this plug. Use an appropriately sized tubing cutter to ensure a clean, square tube end before seating the compression ferrule. Do not overtighten the compression nut, as brass fittings can deform under excessive torque.
