Norgren 101680628 Swivel Tee Adapter 6mm Bspt 260 Psi

Product Description

The NORGREN 101680628 is a push-to-connect swivel tee adapter fitting designed for pneumatic and fluid tubing systems requiring a three-way branch connection. The fitting accepts 6mm outside diameter tubing on the tube ports and terminates with a male BSPT threaded connection, allowing quick tube insertion without tools on the push-to-connect ends. Constructed from nickel-plated brass with a nitrile O-ring, it is rated for a maximum working pressure of 260 psi and a temperature range of 0 to 175 degrees F. The swivel feature allows the threaded male end to rotate for easier alignment during installation. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and pneumatic system technicians are the typical installers.

This fitting is suited for general-purpose pneumatic and fluid distribution applications in both commercial and light industrial environments. It is commonly installed in compressed air lines, pneumatic control circuits, and instrumentation tubing runs where a tee branch with a BSPT male port is required. The 6mm tube OD size is standard in metric pneumatic systems, making this fitting appropriate for equipment built to European dimensional standards. The BSPT thread form is tapered, which differs from BSPP and requires appropriate mating fittings or ports.

Key Features

• Push-to-connect design on tube ports allows tool-free tube insertion and removal
• Swivel male BSPT thread simplifies alignment to mating ports without twisting the tubing
• Nickel-plated brass construction resists corrosion in compressed air and general-purpose fluid service
• Nitrile O-ring sealing compatible with air, water, and many common industrial fluids
• 260 psi maximum working pressure suitable for standard pneumatic line pressures
• Rated for service from 0 to 175 degrees F

Compatibility

Designed for use with 6mm outside diameter tubing in general-purpose pneumatic and fluid systems requiring a male BSPT tee connection. Verify mating port thread form is BSPT before installation, as BSPT and BSPP are not interchangeable despite similar appearance.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified pipefitter or pneumatic system technician. Depressurize and isolate the pneumatic or fluid line completely before removing or installing any fitting. Confirm the mating port accepts a BSPT tapered male thread; applying BSPT fittings to parallel-thread BSPP ports will result in leakage. Ensure tubing is cut square and deburred before inserting into the push-to-connect ports to achieve a proper seal.
