Norgren 101250838 Push-to-connect Straight Adapter Bspt

Product Description

The NORGREN 101250838 is a straight push-to-connect adapter fitting designed to connect pneumatic or fluid tubing to a male BSPT threaded port. Constructed from nickel-plated brass with a nitrile O-ring seal, this fitting accommodates 8 mm outside diameter tubing and threads into a 3/8 inch BSPT male port. It is rated to a maximum working pressure of 260 psi and operates across a temperature range of 0 degrees F to 175 degrees F. The push-to-connect design allows for tool-free tube insertion and quick disconnection, reducing assembly time in compressed air, pneumatic control, and light fluid handling systems.

This fitting is suited for residential and commercial applications where pneumatic tubing must transition to a BSPT-threaded port. Typical install scenarios include compressed air distribution panels, pneumatic actuator circuits, HVAC pneumatic controls, and instrumentation lines. It is installed by pipefitters, HVAC technicians, and pneumatic system technicians working with metric tube systems requiring an inch-standard BSPT threaded interface. The compact overall length of 27.50 mm makes it appropriate for tight panel and manifold installations.

Key Features

• Push-to-connect design allows tool-free tube insertion and single-hand disconnection
• Nickel-plated brass body resists corrosion in compressed air and light fluid service
• Nitrile O-ring provides reliable sealing across the rated temperature range
• Rated to 260 psi maximum working pressure
• Accommodates 8 mm outside diameter tubing with a 3/8 inch BSPT male thread
• Compact 27.50 mm overall length suits tight cabinet and manifold installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style push-to-connect straight adapter for pneumatic and compressed air systems using 8 mm OD tubing with 3/8 inch BSPT male threaded port connections.

Installation Notes

Installation and removal should be performed by a qualified pipefitter or pneumatic systems technician. Depressurize and isolate the system completely before installing or removing any push-to-connect fitting. Ensure tubing cut ends are clean, square, and burr-free before insertion to maintain a proper O-ring seal. Verify that the mating port thread type is BSPT, as BSPT and NPT threads are not interchangeable and cross-threading will damage both the fitting and the port.
