Parker GAMS-22 Compression Male Straight Adapter 1/8 in

Product Description

The PARKER GAMS-22 is a compression tube male straight adapter designed to connect 1/8 inch OD tubing to a male pipe thread fitting. Constructed from Perfluoroalkoxy (PFA) and Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) materials, this adapter delivers excellent chemical resistance and low friction properties suited to demanding fluid handling applications. The plastic grip-type compression mechanism allows secure, leak-resistant tube engagement without metal tooling requirements. At 0.05 pounds, the GAMS-22 is a lightweight, single-piece fitting used by plumbing professionals, HVAC technicians, and instrumentation specialists wherever corrosion-resistant tubing connections are required.

This adapter is appropriate for use in residential and commercial applications involving chemical process lines, pneumatic instrument tubing, and fluid handling systems where PFA or PTFE tubing is specified. It is well suited to environments where standard brass or stainless fittings would be degraded by aggressive media. The compression-style design makes it a practical choice for tight spaces or installations that require a straight inline tube-to-pipe connection without soldering or flaring.

Key Features

• PFA and PTFE construction provides high chemical resistance and low permeability
• Compression-style fitting accepts 1/8 inch OD tubing with a secure plastic grip mechanism
• Male straight adapter configuration for direct tube-to-pipe thread connections
• Lightweight at 0.05 pounds, suitable for compact instrumentation and plumbing assemblies
• Sold individually, allowing single-unit replacement or repair

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style compression fitting for use with 1/8 inch OD PFA or PTFE tubing in plumbing, pneumatic, and chemical fluid handling systems requiring male pipe thread termination.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers or instrumentation technicians. Shut off system pressure and depressurize the line completely before removing or installing compression fittings. Ensure tubing is cut cleanly and squarely before inserting into the compression fitting to achieve a leak-free seal. Follow applicable IPC or system-specific codes when integrating into pressurized fluid or gas lines.
