Parker GAMS-62 Male Straight Adapter 3/8 in Tube Od

Product Description

The PARKER GAMS-62 is a compression-style male straight adapter designed for use with 3/8 inch OD tubing. It provides a leak-resistant, inline connection between a compression tube fitting and a male threaded port. The fitting body and grip components are made from Perfluoroalkoxy (PFA) and Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), two fluoropolymer materials selected for their broad chemical resistance and suitability in high-purity and corrosive fluid applications. This adapter is installed by plumbers, process technicians, and HVAC professionals working on fluid or gas transfer systems where metal fittings are incompatible with the media being handled.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial applications involving chemically aggressive or ultra-pure media, including chemical feed lines, laboratory piping, semiconductor process systems, and specialty HVAC or refrigeration circuits that require fluoropolymer wetted components. The plastic grip type allows for hand-tightening during initial assembly before final compression is applied. It is sold and packaged individually.

Key Features

• PFA and PTFE construction provides excellent resistance to corrosive chemicals and solvents
• Compression-style fitting design creates a secure, leak-resistant seal without soldering or threading the tube
• 3/8 inch tube OD compatibility suits common small-bore tubing used in process and specialty HVAC lines
• Plastic grip type allows controlled hand assembly during initial installation
• Male straight adapter configuration enables direct inline connection to a female or threaded port

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style compression fitting replacement for systems using 3/8 inch OD fluoropolymer or compatible tubing in chemical, high-purity, or specialty fluid service applications.

Installation Notes

This fitting is typically installed by licensed plumbers or process piping technicians following applicable system design and pressure ratings. Shut off and depressurize the fluid or gas line completely before disassembly or installation. Do not over-torque the compression nut, as PFA and PTFE components can deform under excessive force. Verify the tubing end is cut cleanly and squarely before seating it into the fitting body to ensure a proper compression seal.
