Parker CPI 4-4 HBZ-B Brass Compression Tube Fitting, Union, 1/4" Tube OD

The Parker CPI HBZ-B series compression tube fitting is made of brass, and connects tubing of the same diameter in a straight run. This inline union allows quick disconnection of tubing for maintenance or fixture replacement. Single ferrule compression fittings connect to tubing on both ends for a leak-resistant seal in high-pressure, high-vacuum, and high-vibration applications, and have fewer possible leak paths than twin ferrule fittings. This fitting is made of brass for corrosion resistance, ductility at high temperatures, and low magnetic permeability, and is for use with copper tubing. It is commonly used in chemical, petroleum, power generation, laboratory, and medical device plants.

Pipe and tube fittings are components used for connecting, terminating, controlling flow, and changing the direction of piping in many different industries. Compression fittings do not require tools or sealants, and are useful in installations where a heat source, such as a soldering torch, is prohibited. When purchasing fittings, consider the application, as this will affect material type, shape, size, and required durability. Fittings are available threaded or unthreaded, in many shapes, styles, sizes, and schedules (pipe wall thickness).
