Norgren 101150828 Straight Stem Adapter Bspt Fitting

Product Description

The NORGREN 101150828 is a straight push-to-connect stem adapter designed for pneumatic and fluid tubing systems requiring a reliable stem-to-male BSPT connection. Built from nickel-plated brass with a nitrile O-ring, this fitting handles a maximum working pressure of 260 psi and operates across a temperature range of 0 to 175 degrees F. Accepted tube outside diameter is 8 millimeters on the stem side with an 8 mm stem outside diameter, and overall fitting length is 36 millimeters (approximately 1.42 inches). It is suited for general-purpose pneumatic plumbing in industrial and commercial applications where a compact, corrosion-resistant inline adapter is required.

This adapter is used in compressed-air and general-purpose fluid distribution lines where a push-to-connect tube must terminate at or transition to a male BSPT-threaded port. Typical installations include pneumatic control panels, air preparation assemblies, valve manifolds, and industrial automation equipment. The BSPT thread form is commonly found on European and Asian OEM equipment and pneumatic components. A licensed plumber, pipefitter, or qualified industrial maintenance technician typically handles installation in commercial and industrial settings.

Key Features

• Push-to-connect stem entry for tool-free tube insertion and secure retention
• Male BSPT threaded outlet for direct connection to BSPT-ported components
• Nickel-plated brass construction resists corrosion in compressed-air environments
• Nitrile O-ring provides a reliable pressure seal up to 260 psi
• Wide operating temperature range: 0 to 175 degrees F for general-purpose duty
• Compact overall length of approximately 36 mm (1.42 inches) for tight panel installations

Compatibility

Designed for general-purpose pneumatic and fluid tubing systems using 8 mm outside-diameter tube and male BSPT-ported components or valves.

Installation Notes

Depressurize and lock out the air supply completely before removing or installing any pneumatic fitting. Ensure the BSPT male threads are properly sealed with an appropriate thread sealant compatible with the system media before tightening. Insert the push-to-connect tube end fully and squarely into the stem until the collet locks to ensure a leak-free connection. After pressurizing, verify all joints with a leak-detection solution before returning the system to service.
