The Parker CPI 12 KBZ-SS compression tube fitting is made of 316 stainless steel and connects to tubing on all ends. This cross is for connecting and branching four pipes. This fitting is made of 316 stainless steel for higher strength and greater corrosion resistance than 304 stainless steel. Its operating temperatures range from -425 to 1200 degrees F. This is a single ferrule fitting for use on instrumentation, process and control systems, analyzers, and environmental equipment. 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).Parker Hannifin manufactures electromechanical, hydraulic, and pneumatic motion technologies and systems. The company, founded in 1918 and headquartered in Cleveland, OH, provides fluid handling, filtration, sealing and shielding, climate control, process control, and aerospace technologies.
