Constructed from Perfluoroalkoxy (PFA) and Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), this fitting offers excellent chemical resistance and is well-suited for applications involving aggressive fluids, high-purity fluid transfer, or corrosive environments. The plastic grip-style compression mechanism secures 1\/8-inch outside diameter tubing on each end, creating a leak-resistant connection. Plumbers, instrumentation technicians, and chemical process specialists typically install this type of fitting in low-flow tubing systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis union fitting is appropriate for use in residential, commercial, and light industrial settings where small-diameter tubing runs require a reliable, chemically inert joining method. Typical applications include laboratory fluid lines, chemical dosing systems, pneumatic instrument tubing, and other process lines where metal fittings may be unsuitable due to corrosion concerns. The PFA\/PTFE construction also supports use in high-purity fluid systems where contamination from metal contact is not acceptable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eInline union configuration joins two 1\/8-inch OD tubing runs in a straight line\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePFA and PTFE construction provides strong resistance to chemical attack and corrosion\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePlastic compression grip secures tubing without threading, soldering, or adhesives\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLightweight design at 0.05 pounds suits instrumentation and precision fluid systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSingle-piece unit with no separate ferrules or additional hardware required for basic installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style compression union for use with 1\/8-inch outside diameter flexible or semi-rigid tubing in chemical, laboratory, and instrumentation fluid transfer applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation of compression tube fittings is typically performed by licensed plumbers or qualified instrumentation technicians. Before making or breaking any tubing connection, depressurize the system completely and isolate the fluid source. Insert tubing to full depth into the fitting body before tightening the compression nut to ensure a proper seal. Do not overtighten plastic compression fittings, as excess torque can crack the fitting body or distort the grip mechanism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType\u003c\/strong\u003e: Union\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTube Outside Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/8 inch\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\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\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: GEC-2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PARKER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51540391428402,"sku":"GEC-2","price":91.72,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/d9872a3bc351816953f983a336f4211a.jpg?v=1785854014","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/parker-gec-2-compression-tube-union-1-8-in-od-pfa-ptfe","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
