Norgren 101680618 Push-to-connect Male Bspt Fitting

Product Description

The NORGREN 101680618 is a push-to-connect tube-to-male BSPT tube fitting designed for quick, tool-free pneumatic and fluid line connections in general-purpose applications. Constructed from nickel-plated brass, it accepts 6 mm outside diameter tubing on each tube end and terminates at a 1/8 inch BSPT male thread. The fitting is rated to 260 psi maximum working pressure and handles temperatures from 0 degrees F up to 175 degrees F. An integrated nitrile O-ring seals the push-to-connect mechanism. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and pneumatic system technicians are the typical installers for this type of fitting.

This fitting is suited for general-purpose pneumatic and fluid distribution systems where a straight inline connection is needed between flexible tubing and a male BSPT-threaded port. The push-to-connect ends allow fast field assembly without compression tools. The BSPT male thread mates to standard British Standard Pipe Taper female ports found on valves, manifolds, cylinders, and instrumentation in light industrial and commercial environments.

Key Features

• Push-to-connect ends accept 6 mm OD tubing for tool-free assembly and release
• 1/8 inch BSPT male thread for compatibility with standard British Standard Pipe Taper female ports
• 260 psi maximum working pressure rating
• Operating temperature range of 0 degrees F to 175 degrees F
• Nickel-plated brass construction resists corrosion in general-purpose environments
• Nitrile O-ring seal integrated into push-to-connect mechanism

Compatibility

Designed for general-purpose pneumatic and fluid systems using 6 mm OD tubing and 1/8 inch BSPT female-threaded ports on valves, manifolds, and instrumentation.

Installation Notes

Depressurize and isolate the line completely before removing or installing any push-to-connect fitting. Ensure tubing is cut cleanly and squarely with no burrs before inserting into the push-to-connect end, as irregular cuts can compromise the O-ring seal. Thread the BSPT male end into the female port by hand first, then tighten with an appropriate wrench — do not overtighten, as brass threads can be damaged. Verify there are no leaks by slowly re-pressurizing the system and checking all connection points before returning to service.
