Parker GAME-62 Compression Male Adapter Elbow 3/8 Tube

Product Description

The PARKER GAME-62 is a compression tube male adapter elbow designed for connecting 3/8 inch OD tubing to a 1/8 inch NPT male thread. Constructed from Perfluoroalkoxy (PFA) and Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), this fitting delivers exceptional chemical resistance and is well suited for high-purity fluid and gas handling applications. The plastic grip-style compression mechanism provides a secure, leak-resistant seal without requiring soldering or flaring. This fitting is used in process instrumentation, laboratory systems, and chemical distribution lines where corrosion resistance and material purity are critical requirements. Licensed tradespeople and instrumentation technicians are the typical installers.

This adapter elbow is appropriate for residential and commercial applications where tubing must make a directional change while transitioning from compression tube to NPT threaded connections. Typical use cases include chemical feed lines, pneumatic instrument tubing, and high-purity fluid systems that require fittings resistant to aggressive media. The elbow configuration allows 90-degree routing changes in tight plumbing layouts, reducing the need for additional bends in the tubing run.

Key Features

• PFA and PTFE construction provides broad chemical resistance and high purity
• Compression-style fitting requires no soldering, flaring, or special tooling for assembly
• Male adapter configuration transitions 3/8 inch OD tubing to 1/8 inch NPT threaded port
• Elbow geometry enables 90-degree directional change in compact installations
• Plastic grip-type compression mechanism ensures repeatable, leak-resistant seals

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-install compression tube fitting for systems using 3/8 inch OD tubing with 1/8 inch NPT threaded ports in chemical, instrumentation, and process fluid applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified plumber, pipefitter, or instrumentation technician familiar with compression fittings and NPT thread standards. Isolate and depressurize the system before beginning any fitting replacement or new installation. Hand-tighten the compression nut first, then apply only the manufacturer-recommended additional turns to seat the ferrule — overtightening PFA and PTFE fittings can crack or deform the compression components. Verify thread compatibility with the mating NPT port before applying thread sealant appropriate for the media being conveyed.
