Parker GAMS-24 Compression Male Straight Adapter 1/8 in

Product Description

The PARKER GAMS-24 is a compression tube male straight adapter designed for low-dead-volume, leak-free connections in fluid and gas handling systems. Built from Perfluoroalkoxy (PFA) and Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) materials, this fitting handles aggressive chemicals and high-purity media without degradation. The plastic grip-type compression mechanism seats tubing securely without metal ferrules, making it a practical choice for corrosion-sensitive or cleanroom-adjacent applications. At 0.05 pounds, the fitting is lightweight and easy to handle during installation. It is sold individually and is appropriate for plumbing, instrumentation, and process piping work where fluoropolymer-grade fittings are specified.

This adapter is used in residential and commercial applications where corrosion resistance and chemical compatibility are required. Typical installations include chemical feed lines, water treatment systems, laboratory gas distribution, and HVAC refrigerant-adjacent instrumentation tubing. The 1/8 inch tube OD size suits small-diameter tubing runs common in instrument sensing lines and dosing systems. Plumbers and instrumentation technicians working with PFA or PTFE tubing will find this fitting appropriate for both new construction and retrofit connections requiring a male straight compression-to-pipe transition.

Key Features

• PFA and PTFE construction provides resistance to aggressive chemicals and corrosive media
• Compression-style fitting eliminates the need for soldering, threading tubing, or metal ferrules
• Plastic grip type allows hand-tightening during initial alignment before final torque
• 1/8 inch tube OD sizing fits small-diameter instrument and chemical feed tubing
• Lightweight at 0.05 pounds, suitable for compact or space-constrained installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-install fitting for systems using 1/8 inch OD PFA or PTFE compression tubing in fluid handling and instrumentation piping applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified instrumentation technician familiar with fluoropolymer compression fittings. Shut off all fluid or gas supply and depressurize the line before disconnecting or installing any fitting. Confirm tube OD and thread engagement before applying final hand-tight plus quarter-turn compression. Refer to applicable IPC or process piping standards for pressure ratings and code compliance in your jurisdiction.
