Parker GAMS-44 Male Straight Adapter 1/4 in Tube Od

Product Description

The PARKER GAMS-44 is a compression tube male straight adapter designed to connect 1/4 inch OD tubing to male pipe threads using a tool-free compression fitting interface. Constructed from Perfluoroalkoxy (PFA) and Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) materials, this adapter delivers excellent chemical resistance and low friction properties suited for aggressive fluid and gas handling applications. The plastic grip type allows hand-tightening for quick field assembly without specialized tooling. It is a single-piece fitting intended for use by plumbers, instrumentation technicians, and fluid-system specialists working with high-purity or chemically demanding line runs.

This adapter is appropriate for residential and commercial fluid-handling systems where corrosion resistance and chemical compatibility are required. Typical applications include compressed air lines, chemical feed systems, laboratory instrumentation tubing, and process control plumbing where PFA or PTFE-rated fittings are specified. The male straight configuration simplifies inline connections from tubing to threaded ports on valves, gauges, manifolds, and similar components.

Key Features

• 1/4 inch tube outside diameter compression connection for secure, leak-resistant tubing interface
• PFA and PTFE construction provides broad chemical resistance and high-purity compatibility
• Male straight adapter configuration for direct inline tubing-to-pipe-thread connections
• Plastic grip type allows hand-tight installation without additional tools
• Compact, lightweight design at 0.05 pounds for easy handling and installation in tight spaces

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit compression fitting for 1/4 inch OD tubing systems requiring male straight adapter connections in PFA or PTFE-rated applications.

Installation Notes

Installation of compression tube fittings should be performed by a qualified plumber or instrumentation technician familiar with tube fitting systems. Shut off all line pressure and purge the system before removing or installing any fitting. Ensure tubing is cut cleanly and squarely and that tube OD dimensions match the fitting specification before assembly. Consult applicable plumbing codes and system pressure ratings before placing the fitting in service.
