Parker FAMS-44 Male Straight Adapter 1/4 in Tube Od

Product Description

The PARKER FAMS-44 is a compression tube male straight adapter designed to connect 1/4-inch OD tubing to a male pipe thread fitting. Constructed from Perfluoroalkoxy (PFA) and Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), this adapter is built for high-purity and chemically aggressive fluid handling applications. The plastic grip-style compression fitting allows for secure, leak-resistant connections without the need for soldering or brazing. It is commonly specified by plumbing, HVAC, and instrumentation technicians working on corrosion-resistant fluid lines.

This adapter is suited for use in systems that require fluoropolymer wetted surfaces, such as chemical dosing lines, high-purity water systems, and laboratory or industrial fluid distribution. Its straight male configuration makes it a practical inline fitting for transitioning from compression tubing to threaded pipe connections in residential, commercial, and light industrial installations.

Key Features

• PFA and PTFE construction for excellent chemical resistance and high-purity service
• 1/4-inch tube OD compression connection for secure, tool-assisted tube retention
• Male straight adapter configuration for direct pipe thread engagement
• Plastic grip-style fitting body for lightweight, non-metallic installations
• Compact and lightweight at 0.05 pounds for easy handling and installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-install fitting for compression tube systems utilizing 1/4-inch OD fluoropolymer or compatible tubing.

Installation Notes

This fitting should be installed by a licensed plumber or qualified instrumentation technician familiar with compression tube assemblies. Shut off system fluid supply and depressurize the line before removal or installation of any fitting. Do not overtighten the compression nut, as PFA and PTFE components can deform under excessive torque. Ensure tubing is cut cleanly and squarely before inserting into the compression fitting to achieve a proper seal.
