Norgren 101680828 Swivel Tee Adapter 1/4 Inch Bspt 260 Psi

Product Description

The NORGREN 101680828 is a push-to-connect swivel tee adapter fitting designed for tube-to-male BSPT pneumatic and fluid line connections. It features a tee configuration with a 1/4 inch BSPT male thread and accepts 8 mm outside diameter tubing on the tube ports. 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. This fitting is a practical choice for general-purpose pneumatic or fluid distribution circuits where a swivel connection simplifies routing and assembly.

This fitting is suited for general-purpose pneumatic and light fluid handling applications in both industrial and commercial environments. The swivel tee configuration allows the male BSPT port to rotate during installation, reducing thread-up stress on adjacent lines. Typical installations include compressed air distribution panels, pneumatic control circuits, and process fluid manifolds where a tee branch is required without a fixed-orientation male port. It is installed by plumbers, pipefitters, and pneumatic systems technicians working on low-pressure instrumentation and control lines.

Key Features

• Push-to-connect design for fast, tool-free tube insertion on both tube ports
• Swivel tee body allows the male BSPT port to rotate for easier alignment during installation
• Nickel-plated brass construction resists corrosion in general-purpose service environments
• Nitrile O-ring provides a reliable seal across the rated temperature and pressure range
• Rated to 260 psi maximum working pressure for broad pneumatic circuit compatibility
• Operating temperature range of 0 to 175 degrees F covers typical indoor industrial conditions

Compatibility

Designed for general-purpose pneumatic and fluid line applications accepting 8 mm outside diameter tubing with a 1/4 inch BSPT male thread connection. No specific equipment or system model compatibility was stated in the available product data.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified plumber, pipefitter, or pneumatic systems technician. Depressurize and isolate the line completely before removing or installing any fittings. Confirm thread type compatibility before engaging the BSPT male port, as BSPT is a parallel thread standard and is not interchangeable with NPT or BSPP without appropriate adapters. Insert tubing fully into the push-to-connect ports until it seats against the collet stop, and verify a positive grip before returning the system to service.
