Norgren 101451238 Elbow Adapter 3/8 Inch Bspt 260 Psi

Product Description

The NORGREN 101451238 is a push-to-connect elbow adapter fitting designed for pneumatic and fluid distribution systems. It transitions a tube connection to a male BSPT threaded port in a 90-degree elbow configuration, using a tool-free push-in mechanism on the tube side for fast, secure connections. Constructed from nickel-plated brass, this fitting handles a maximum working pressure of 260 psi and supports operating temperatures from 0 degrees F to 175 degrees F. The tube outside diameter is 12.00 mm. It is suited for general-purpose pneumatic plumbing, compressed air lines, and similar fluid control applications where a reliable angle fitting is required.

This fitting is appropriate for use in both light industrial and general-purpose pneumatic systems. It is commonly installed where a compressed air or fluid line must change direction from a tube run to a male BSPT threaded port on a valve, manifold, or equipment body. The push-to-connect design reduces assembly time compared to traditional compression fittings, making it practical for panel builds, machine plumbing, and service work. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and pneumatic system technicians are the typical installers for this type of component.

Key Features

• Push-to-connect tube entry for tool-free tube insertion and secure retention
• Male BSPT threaded outlet for direct connection to BSPT-ported valves and equipment
• Nickel-plated brass construction for corrosion resistance in general-purpose environments
• 260 psi maximum working pressure rating
• Nitrile O-ring material for compatibility with air and common pneumatic media
• 90-degree elbow geometry for routing lines in confined or angled spaces

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style push-to-connect elbow fitting for general-purpose pneumatic and fluid systems using 12.00 mm outside diameter tubing and BSPT-threaded ported components.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified 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 is free of burrs before inserting into the push-to-connect port. Verify that the BSPT thread is compatible with the mating port and apply appropriate thread sealant per system requirements and applicable codes.
