Parker GAME-42 Compression Male Adapter Elbow 1/4 in

Product Description

The PARKER GAME-42 is a compression tube male adapter elbow designed for use in fluid handling and instrumentation systems that require a reliable, chemically resistant tube-to-male-thread connection. Constructed from Perfluoroalkoxy (PFA) and Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) materials, this fitting handles aggressive chemicals, high-purity media, and demanding process environments where metal fittings are not suitable. The elbow configuration routes tubing at a 90-degree angle, reducing stress on the tube run. It accepts 1/4 inch OD tubing via a compression plug-in stem grip and is sold as a single piece. Licensed plumbers, process technicians, and instrumentation professionals typically specify this fitting in chemical, laboratory, and industrial fluid systems.

The GAME-42 is suited for tubing installations in chemical processing, semiconductor fabrication, laboratory instrumentation, and industrial fluid control applications. Its PFA and PTFE construction makes it appropriate wherever corrosion resistance, purity, and broad chemical compatibility are required. The compression-style plug-in stem grip allows secure tubing connections without soldering or adhesives. This fitting is typically installed in systems carrying aggressive solvents, acids, ultrapure water, or other media that would degrade standard metal or nylon compression fittings.

Key Features

• PFA and PTFE construction provides broad chemical resistance and high-purity compatibility
• Male adapter elbow configuration routes 1/4 inch OD tubing at a 90-degree angle
• Compression plug-in stem grip secures tubing without solder, adhesives, or special tools
• Plastic grip type — safe for use in environments where metal contamination is a concern
• Lightweight at 0.05 pounds — minimal system load in instrumentation setups
• Single-piece packaging with no minimum order quantity beyond one unit

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style compression fitting for 1/4 inch OD tubing in chemical, laboratory, and industrial fluid handling systems requiring PFA or PTFE wetted materials.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers or qualified instrumentation and process technicians. Shut off all system pressure and depressurize lines before disassembling or installing any compression fitting. Confirm tube OD measures exactly 1/4 inch and that the tube end is cleanly cut and free of burrs before inserting into the compression stem. Follow applicable piping codes and system-specific chemical compatibility requirements before placing this fitting in service.
