Parker GAME-44 Compression Male Adapter Elbow 1/4 in

Product Description

The PARKER GAME-44 is a compression tube male adapter elbow designed to connect a 1/4-inch OD tube to a 1/4-inch NPT male threaded port at a 90-degree angle. Constructed from Perfluoroalkoxy (PFA) and Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), this fitting delivers excellent chemical resistance and performs reliably in high-purity and corrosive-fluid applications. The compression grip style uses a plastic gripping mechanism that bites into the tubing on tightening, creating a secure, leak-resistant seal without soldering or flaring. This type of fitting is commonly installed by plumbers, process technicians, and HVAC-R service professionals.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, chemical processing lines, laboratory fluid systems, and HVAC refrigerant or instrumentation tubing runs where a directional change from tubing to a threaded port is required. The PFA and PTFE construction makes it appropriate for aggressive media, ultrapure water, and other applications where metal fittings are not acceptable. It is packaged and sold as a single unit.

Key Features

• 90-degree male adapter elbow routes 1/4-inch OD tubing to a 1/4-inch NPT threaded connection
• PFA and PTFE construction provides broad chemical resistance and low extractables
• Compression grip design requires no soldering, flaring, or special tooling
• Plastic grip-ring style holds tubing securely under vibration and pressure cycling
• Compact form factor fits tight installation spaces where a straight adapter cannot be used

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style compression fitting for use with 1/4-inch OD compatible tubing in systems requiring a Tube x NPT male adapter elbow connection.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified plumber or process technician familiar with compression fittings and applicable codes such as IPC. Depressurize and drain the line completely before removing any existing fittings or installing this elbow. Insert the tubing fully into the fitting body before tightening the compression nut finger-tight, then advance with a wrench per the fitting manufacturer standard practice. Do not overtighten, as PFA and PTFE components are not designed to withstand the same torque as metal fittings.
