Parker GAFS-22 Compression Female Straight Adapter 1/8 in

Product Description

The PARKER GAFS-22 is a compression tube female straight adapter designed to create a leak-resistant connection between a 1/8-inch OD tube and a female-threaded port. Constructed from Perfluoroalkoxy (PFA) and Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), the fitting offers excellent resistance to aggressive chemicals, high-purity process fluids, and elevated temperatures. The plastic grip type allows for tool-assisted tightening without metal-to-metal contact, preserving the integrity of the fitting body. This adapter is suited for use in fluid handling systems where non-metallic, corrosion-resistant fittings are required, and is typically installed by plumbers, lab technicians, or fluid-system specialists working with tubing assemblies.

This fitting is appropriate for use in laboratory, semiconductor, chemical processing, and industrial fluid-handling applications where PFA or PTFE-rated components are specified. Its female straight configuration makes it a direct interface between 1/8-inch OD compression tubing and a corresponding threaded port or manifold. The compact, lightweight design at 0.05 pounds supports use in tight spaces or panel-mounted assemblies. It ships as an individual unit with a package quantity of one.

Key Features

• PFA and PTFE construction provides high chemical resistance for aggressive fluid environments
• Compression-style connection accepts 1/8-inch OD tubing without additional ferrules or sealants
• Plastic grip type supports controlled tightening and reduces risk of fitting damage
• Female straight adapter configuration for direct threaded-port connection
• Lightweight at 0.05 pounds, suitable for compact fluid-handling assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as a compression-style replacement or new-installation fitting for systems using 1/8-inch OD tubing with female straight adapter connections in PFA or PTFE-rated fluid-handling applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified plumber or fluid-system technician familiar with compression fittings and plastic tubing assemblies. Depressurize and drain the system completely before removing or installing any fitting. Hand-tighten first, then apply controlled tool torque per the system or tubing manufacturer guidelines — do not over-torque plastic compression fittings, as this can crack the fitting body. Verify tube OD dimensions before installation to ensure a proper compression seal.
