Parker GAME-46 Compression Male Adapter Elbow Pfa Ptfe

Product Description

The PARKER GAME-46 is a compression tube male adapter elbow designed to connect 1/4 inch OD tubing to a 3/8 inch NPT male threaded port at a 90-degree angle. Constructed from Perfluoroalkoxy (PFA) and Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) materials, this fitting delivers excellent chemical resistance and is well suited for aggressive fluid and gas handling applications. The plastic grip-style compression mechanism creates a secure, leak-resistant seal without the need for ferrule tools. Plumbers, industrial maintenance technicians, and process system installers working with high-purity or chemically demanding fluid lines will find this fitting appropriate for their work.

This elbow fitting is used in process piping, laboratory fluid distribution, chemical handling systems, and high-purity tubing runs where metal fittings are not suitable due to corrosion or contamination concerns. The male NPT thread end connects directly to standard threaded ports on valves, manifolds, and equipment panels. The compression end accepts 1/4 inch OD tubing, making it compatible with common small-diameter plastic and fluoropolymer tubing used in instrumentation and process control lines.

Key Features

• PFA and PTFE construction provides broad chemical resistance for aggressive media service
• Compression tube end accepts 1/4 inch OD tubing with a plastic grip-style fitting
• 3/8 inch male NPT thread for direct connection to standard threaded ports
• 90-degree elbow configuration allows directional routing in tight spaces
• Lightweight design at 0.05 pounds suits low-load panel and equipment installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style compression fitting for use with 1/4 inch OD fluoropolymer or plastic tubing terminating at a 3/8 inch NPT male threaded port in process, instrumentation, or chemical handling systems.

Installation Notes

This fitting is typically installed by plumbers or instrumentation technicians working on process or chemical fluid systems. Shut off all fluid supply and depressurize the line before disassembly or fitting installation. Hand-tighten the NPT thread end and apply thread sealant compatible with fluoropolymer materials before final tightening. Do not overtighten the compression nut, as PFA and PTFE fittings are sensitive to excess torque that can crack or deform the fitting body.
