Parker GAFS-24 Compression Tube Female Straight Adapter

Product Description

The PARKER GAFS-24 is a compression tube female straight adapter designed for use in fluid and gas distribution systems requiring chemically resistant connections. It accepts 1/8 inch tube OD and uses a plug-in stem design to create a secure, leak-resistant seal without tools. The body and sealing components are constructed from Perfluoroalkoxy (PFA) and Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), two fluoropolymers widely specified for aggressive chemical service. This adapter is a single-piece fitting suited for instrumentation lines, chemical feed systems, and analytical equipment where metal fittings are not suitable due to contamination or corrosion concerns.

This fitting is used in applications where tubing must terminate at a female threaded port with a straight, in-line connection. Typical installations include laboratory fluid handling, chemical dosing systems, semiconductor fabrication, and process instrumentation. The fluoropolymer construction makes it a strong choice for systems carrying acids, solvents, or other aggressive media. Plumbers, process technicians, and instrumentation specialists working in light industrial or chemical processing environments are the primary installers.

Key Features

• PFA and PTFE construction for broad chemical resistance in corrosive service applications
• 1/8 inch tube OD compression-style connection for a reliable, leak-resistant seal
• Plug-in stem design simplifies assembly and reduces installation time
• Plastic grip body suitable for environments where metal contact must be avoided
• Compact, single-piece fitting with no additional hardware required

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard compression tube fitting for instrumentation and fluid handling systems using 1/8 inch OD tubing with a female straight adapter port.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by instrumentation technicians or plumbers working on chemical or process fluid systems. Always depressurize and drain the line before removing or installing any compression fitting. Finger-tighten the connection first, then follow standard compression fitting assembly practice for plastic fittings, being careful not to overtighten and crack the fitting body. Confirm thread compatibility with the mating port before installation.
