Norgren 101451228 Push-to-connect Elbow Adapter Bspt

Product Description

The NORGREN 101451228 is a push-to-connect elbow adapter fitting designed for tube-to-male BSPT connections in compressed air and general-purpose pneumatic plumbing systems. Constructed from nickel-plated brass, this fitting accepts a 12 mm outside-diameter tube on the push-to-connect end and terminates in a 1/4 inch male BSPT threaded port on the other. It is rated for a maximum working pressure of 260 psi and handles temperatures from 0 degrees F to 175 degrees F. The nitrile O-ring provides a reliable seal at the tube insertion point. Plumbers, pipefitters, and pneumatic system technicians are the typical installers for this style of fitting.

This elbow adapter is suited for general-purpose pneumatic and fluid-handling applications where a 90-degree direction change is needed between a tube run and a male-threaded port. The push-to-connect design allows fast, tool-free tube insertion while maintaining a secure, leak-resistant connection under normal working pressures. Common installation environments include industrial automation, compressed air distribution panels, and light commercial pneumatic control systems requiring BSPT-threaded connections.

Key Features

• Push-to-connect tube end accepts 12 mm outside-diameter tubing without additional tools
• 1/4 inch male BSPT threaded port for direct connection to BSPT-tapped components
• Nickel-plated brass construction resists corrosion in general-purpose service
• Rated to 260 psi maximum working pressure
• Nitrile O-ring seal at tube insertion for reliable, leak-resistant performance
• Operating temperature range of 0 degrees F to 175 degrees F

Compatibility

Designed for general-purpose pneumatic and fluid-handling systems requiring a push-to-connect elbow adapter with a 1/4 inch male BSPT thread and 12 mm outside-diameter tube connection.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed pipefitter or pneumatic systems technician. Depressurize and isolate the system completely before removing or installing any fittings. Ensure the tube end is cut cleanly and squarely, and that it is free of burrs before insertion into the push-to-connect port to maintain a proper seal. BSPT threads are tapered and do not require a separate sealant in all applications, but follow the equipment manufacturer's guidance on thread sealing.
