Parker FAME-62 Compression Female Adapter Elbow 3/8 in

Product Description

The PARKER FAME-62 is a compression tube female adapter elbow designed for use in fluid transfer and instrumentation tubing systems. It connects 3/8-inch OD tubing to a female-threaded port at a 90-degree angle, providing a reliable, leak-resistant joint without soldering or flaring. Constructed from Perfluoroalkoxy (PFA) and Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), this fitting delivers excellent chemical resistance and low friction characteristics. Its plastic grip-style compression mechanism allows for secure tube retention during installation. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and instrumentation technicians working with chemically aggressive media or high-purity fluid systems commonly specify this fitting type.

This elbow fitting is well suited for laboratory, chemical processing, semiconductor, and industrial fluid handling applications where corrosion resistance and purity are critical. The PFA/PTFE construction makes it appropriate for systems carrying acids, solvents, and other aggressive media that would degrade standard brass or steel fittings. It is typically installed where a tubing run must change direction while connecting to a female-threaded component such as a valve body, manifold, or instrument port.

Key Features

• 3/8-inch tube OD compression fitting for secure, no-flare tube connection
• PFA and PTFE construction for superior chemical and corrosion resistance
• Female adapter elbow configuration enables 90-degree directional change at a threaded port
• Plastic grip-type compression sleeve for reliable tube retention
• Sold individually, no minimum bundle required

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation compression fitting for 3/8-inch OD tubing in fluid handling and instrumentation systems requiring PFA or PTFE wetted components.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified plumber or instrumentation technician familiar with compression fitting assembly procedures. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before removing or installing any fitting. Hand-tighten the compression nut first, then advance with a wrench only until snug — do not overtighten plastic compression components, as this can crack the body or deform the ferrule. Verify system compatibility with PFA and PTFE materials before placing the fitting in service.
