It provides a reliable, leak-resistant joint between a compression tube line and a male pipe thread fitting. Constructed from Perfluoroalkoxy (PFA) and Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) materials, this adapter is chemically inert and well-suited for aggressive fluid and gas service. The plastic grip type allows for secure hand-tightening during assembly. Licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and instrumentation specialists install this fitting in systems where chemical compatibility and low-contamination connections are critical.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis adapter is commonly used in residential and commercial plumbing, HVAC refrigerant lines, laboratory fluid systems, and chemical handling applications where PFA and PTFE materials are specified for corrosion resistance. It is appropriate for tubing runs that terminate at a male pipe thread port, including instrument manifolds, chemical dosing lines, and process fluid connections requiring a straight inline transition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePFA and PTFE construction for broad chemical resistance and low extractables\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompression-style fitting eliminates the need for solder or adhesive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned for 1\/4 inch tube outside diameter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMale straight adapter configuration for direct pipe thread connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlastic grip type supports controlled assembly torque\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSold individually — package quantity of 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or direct-install compression fitting for 1\/4 inch OD tubing systems requiring PFA or PTFE wetted materials and a male pipe thread termination.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or qualified HVAC or instrumentation technician. Shut off and depressurize the fluid or gas line completely before removing or installing any compression fitting. Hand-tighten the compression nut first, then apply the manufacturer-recommended additional turns with a wrench — do not overtighten PFA or PTFE fittings, as these materials are softer than metal and susceptible to thread damage. Follow applicable IPC or system-specific codes for tube fitting installations in pressurized service.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTube Outside Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Male Straight Adapter, Compression\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Perfluoroalkoxy (PFA) and Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrip Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Plastic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.05 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: PARKER\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: GAMS-46\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PARKER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51538249711922,"sku":"GAMS-46","price":92.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/3f849b5280e03ea7c578d6929ea09a82.jpg?v=1785820814","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/parker-gams-46-compression-male-straight-adapter-1-4-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
