Norgren 101670838 Push-to-connect Male Bspt Tube Fitting

Product Description

The NORGREN 101670838 is a push-to-connect tube fitting with a male BSPT thread connection, designed for general-purpose pneumatic and fluid-handling systems. It features a tube-to-male-to-tube-to-male BSPT configuration, allowing inline connections between tubing runs and threaded ports. Constructed from nickel-plated brass, it handles a maximum working pressure of 260 psi and an operating temperature range of 0 to 175 degrees F. The push-to-connect mechanism allows fast, tool-free tube insertion, making it a practical choice for technicians assembling or servicing compressed-air lines, pneumatic control circuits, or general fluid distribution systems.

This fitting is suited for general-purpose applications in light industrial, HVAC, and pneumatic control environments. The BSPT male thread end connects to standard BSPT-ported components such as valves, manifolds, cylinders, or instrumentation. It accepts 8 mm outside-diameter tubing on both tube-entry ends. The nitrile O-ring provides a reliable seal in systems handling air, water, and many common fluids. It is typically installed by HVAC mechanics, pipefitters, or instrumentation technicians working with pneumatic control or fluid-handling assemblies.

Key Features

• Push-to-connect design allows tool-free tube insertion and removal
• Nickel-plated brass construction resists corrosion and wear in general-purpose service
• Rated to 260 psi maximum working pressure
• Operates across a temperature range of 0 to 175 degrees F
• Nitrile O-ring provides a reliable seal for air and common fluid media
• Accepts 8 mm outside-diameter tubing on both tube ports

Compatibility

Designed for general-purpose pneumatic and fluid-handling systems requiring BSPT-threaded connections and 8 mm outside-diameter tubing.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified pipefitter, HVAC mechanic, or instrumentation technician. Depressurize and isolate the line before removing or installing any fitting. Ensure tubing is cut cleanly and squarely and inserted fully into the push-to-connect port until it seats. Verify thread type compatibility before assembly, as BSPT threads are not interchangeable with NPT threads.
