Norgren 101451038 Push-to-connect Elbow Adapter Bspt

Product Description

The NORGREN 101451038 is a push-to-connect elbow adapter fitting designed for tube-to-male BSPT connections in compressed air and general-purpose fluid systems. The fitting accepts 10 mm outside diameter tubing on the push-to-connect end and terminates with a male BSPT threaded port, providing a 90-degree change of direction in pneumatic or low-pressure fluid lines. Constructed from nickel-plated brass with a nitrile O-ring, it is rated to 260 psi maximum working pressure and operates across a temperature range of 0 degrees F to 175 degrees F. It is installed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and industrial maintenance technicians working on pneumatic distribution systems.

This fitting is suited for general-purpose pneumatic and fluid line assemblies where a compact elbow transition is needed between a fixed male BSPT port and a push-to-connect tube run. Typical applications include compressed air distribution manifolds, pneumatic actuator supply lines, and light industrial process plumbing. The push-to-connect end allows for quick tube insertion and removal without additional tools, reducing assembly time during panel builds or field service. The BSPT thread form is common in European and Asian equipment and is not interchangeable with NPT threads.

Key Features

• Push-to-connect tube entry accepts 10 mm outside diameter tubing for tool-free assembly
• Male BSPT threaded outlet for connection to BSPT-ported equipment and manifolds
• 260 psi maximum working pressure rating suitable for most compressed air service
• Nickel-plated brass body for corrosion resistance in industrial environments
• Nitrile O-ring sealing element compatible with air, water, and many common pneumatic fluids
• Operating temperature range of 0 degrees F to 175 degrees F

Compatibility

Designed for general-purpose pneumatic and fluid systems using 10 mm OD tubing and male BSPT ported components. Verify thread form before installation, as BSPT is not interchangeable with NPT or BSPP threads.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, or qualified industrial maintenance technicians. Depressurize and isolate the system fully before removing or installing any fittings. Confirm the mating port is BSPT threaded, as incorrect thread pairing will result in leakage or fitting damage. Apply appropriate thread sealant to the male BSPT threads per the system fluid and pressure requirements before assembly.
