Norgren 101681038 Push-to-connect Male Bspt Fitting

Product Description

The NORGREN 101681038 is a push-to-connect tube-to-male BSPT tube fitting designed for general-purpose pneumatic and fluid-handling applications. Built from nickel-plated brass, this fitting accepts a 10 mm outside diameter tube on each tube port and connects to a male BSPT threaded port, allowing a secure, tool-free tube insertion on both ends. It is rated to 260 psi maximum working pressure and operates across a temperature range of 0 degrees F to 175 degrees F. The nitrile O-ring provides a reliable seal under normal working conditions. This type of fitting is installed by HVAC technicians, pipefitters, and pneumatic system assemblers in both residential and light commercial settings.

The 101681038 is suited for general-purpose pneumatic lines, compressed air distribution, and fluid control systems where a BSPT male threaded connection is required alongside push-to-connect tube ports. The BSPT thread form is commonly found in international and metric-standard equipment. This fitting bridges a male BSPT threaded port to two push-to-connect tube ends, making it useful for inline connections in pneumatic circuits or control tubing runs. No compatibility with specific equipment models is stated in the available product data.

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose push-to-connect BSPT tube fitting for use in pneumatic and fluid-handling systems requiring a male BSPT threaded port connection with 10 mm outside diameter tube ends.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with pneumatic or fluid-handling systems. Before servicing any line, depressurize the system fully and verify zero pressure before disconnecting or inserting fittings. Ensure tubing is cut cleanly and squarely and that the outside diameter is within specification before insertion into the push-to-connect port. Thread engagement should follow applicable piping codes and the fitting should be inspected for leaks after system pressure is restored.
