Norgren 101450818 Push-to-connect Elbow Adapter 260 Psi

Product Description

The NORGREN 101450818 is a push-to-connect elbow adapter fitting designed for tube-to-male BSPT connections in compressed air and pneumatic fluid systems. Built from nickel-plated brass with a nitrile O-ring seal, it delivers a rated maximum working pressure of 260 psi across a service temperature range of 0 to 175 degrees F. The elbow configuration redirects tubing at a 90-degree angle, making it well suited for tight routing in panel builds and inline assemblies. Installation requires no tools on the tube side — tubing seats and locks by hand. This fitting is typically installed by HVAC technicians, pneumatic system technicians, and industrial maintenance mechanics.

This fitting is used in pneumatic control lines, compressed air distribution, and fluid conveyance systems where a push-to-connect tube end must transition to a male BSPT threaded port. The 8 mm outside diameter tube connection and 1/8 inch BSPT male thread make it appropriate for small-bore pneumatic circuits in both light commercial and industrial applications. It is commonly found in automation panels, valve manifold assemblies, and instrument air lines where space-efficient directional changes are required.

Key Features

• Push-to-connect tube end accepts 8 mm outside diameter tubing — no compression tool required
• Male 1/8 inch BSPT thread for direct port entry into BSPT-ported valves and manifolds
• 260 psi maximum working pressure rated for pneumatic service
• Nickel-plated brass body resists corrosion in humid and light condensate environments
• Nitrile O-ring seal compatible with air, water, and many hydraulic fluids within rated temperature limits
• Operating temperature range of 0 to 175 degrees F covers standard pneumatic control applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style push-to-connect elbow adapter for pneumatic and compressed air systems accepting 8 mm outside diameter tubing with 1/8 inch BSPT male threaded ports.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by HVAC controls technicians, pneumatic system mechanics, or qualified maintenance personnel. Depressurize and isolate the pneumatic circuit fully before making or breaking any connections. Verify that the mating port thread standard is BSPT, not NPT, before installation, as these thread forms are not interchangeable. Tubing must be cut square and deburred before insertion to ensure a proper push-to-connect seal.
