Parker GAME-48 Compression Male Adapter Elbow 1/4 in

Product Description

The PARKER GAME-48 is a compression tube male adapter elbow designed for use in fluid and gas line assemblies requiring a directional change at a male threaded connection point. Constructed from Perfluoroalkoxy (PFA) and Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), this fitting delivers excellent chemical resistance and is well suited for high-purity and corrosive-media applications. The plug-in stem compression design creates a secure, leak-resistant seal on 0.25-inch outside diameter tubing without the need for ferrules or additional hardware. Plumbers, industrial pipefitters, and fluid-system technicians install this type of fitting where space constraints or system routing require a 90-degree turn at a threaded port.

This fitting is intended for use in compression tube systems handling aggressive chemicals, high-purity fluids, or gases where metallic fittings are not appropriate. The PFA and PTFE construction makes it a common choice in laboratory, semiconductor, chemical processing, and specialty HVAC or refrigeration applications. The male adapter configuration allows direct connection to a female-threaded port on valves, manifolds, or equipment housings, transitioning to a 0.25-inch compression tube run.

Key Features

• Tube outside diameter: 0.25 inches, compatible with standard 1/4-inch OD compression tube
• PFA and PTFE construction for superior chemical and corrosion resistance
• Plug-in stem compression design for tool-assisted, ferrule-free tube engagement
• Male adapter elbow configuration provides 90-degree directional change at a threaded port
• Plastic grip type for hand-tightening during initial assembly

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-install fitting for compression tube systems using 0.25-inch outside diameter tubing with a male adapter elbow connection requirement.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified pipefitter, plumber, or fluid-system technician familiar with compression fittings and the applicable fluid or gas system codes. Depressurize and drain the system completely before removing or installing any compression fitting. Hand-tighten the male threaded end first, then apply a wrench for final snugging per the fitting manufacturer torque guidance; do not over-torque PFA and PTFE fittings as the material is subject to deformation under excessive load. Verify full tube insertion into the plug-in stem before pressurizing the system.
