Parker GAME-68 Compression Male Adapter Elbow 3/8 in

Product Description

The PARKER GAME-68 is a compression tube male adapter elbow designed for use in fluid and gas handling systems where a 90-degree directional change is required at a male-threaded connection point. This fitting accepts a 3/8 inch tube outside diameter and uses a compression-style grip mechanism for a secure, leak-resistant seal without soldering or flaring. Constructed from Perfluoroalkoxy (PFA) and Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) materials, it is well suited for chemically aggressive or high-purity service environments. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and industrial service technicians are the typical installers.

This fitting is commonly used in residential and commercial applications involving corrosion-resistant tubing runs where a 90-degree male adapter connection is needed. PFA and PTFE construction makes it appropriate for chemical process lines, laboratory fluid systems, and similar installations requiring inert wetted surfaces. The compression grip style allows connection to standard 3/8 inch OD tubing without the need for soldering, welding, or specialized flaring tools, making it practical for in-field service work.

Key Features

• 3/8 inch tube outside diameter compression connection
• PFA and PTFE construction for chemical resistance and high-purity compatibility
• 90-degree male adapter elbow configuration for directional changes at threaded ports
• Plastic compression grip type for tool-assisted, no-solder installation
• Sold individually — package quantity of 1

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style compression fitting for use with standard 3/8 inch OD tubing in fluid and gas handling systems requiring PFA or PTFE wetted surfaces.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter. Depressurize and isolate the line before disconnecting or installing any compression fitting. Hand-tighten the compression nut first, then use an appropriate wrench to achieve a proper seat — do not overtighten plastic-body fittings. Verify the tubing end is cut cleanly and squarely to ensure a leak-free compression seal.
