Norgren 101681248 Push-to-connect Male Bspt Tube Fitting

Product Description

The NORGREN 101681248 is a push-to-connect tube-to-male BSPT tube fitting designed for general-purpose pneumatic and fluid line connections. Constructed from nickel-plated brass, this fitting accommodates a 12 mm tube outside diameter and a 1/2 inch BSPT male thread. It is rated for a maximum working pressure of 260 psi and operates across a temperature range of 0 to 175 degrees F. The nitrile O-ring provides a reliable seal against air and compatible fluid media. Plumbers, pipefitters, and pneumatic system technicians install this fitting in industrial and commercial compressed-air or fluid distribution systems where a fast, tool-free tube connection to a male-threaded port is needed.

This fitting is suited for general-purpose pneumatic and fluid handling applications in both industrial and commercial environments. The push-to-connect design allows quick tube insertion and removal without additional compression hardware, reducing installation time on compressed-air manifolds, valve banks, and fluid distribution lines. It is appropriate for use wherever a 12 mm OD tube must terminate at a 1/2 inch BSPT male-threaded port and system pressures do not exceed 260 psi within the rated temperature limits.

Key Features

• Push-to-connect design accepts 12 mm outside diameter tubing without additional tools
• 1/2 inch BSPT male thread for direct port connection
• Nickel-plated brass construction resists corrosion in general-purpose service environments
• Rated to 260 psi maximum working pressure
• Nitrile O-ring seal compatible with air and many common fluid media
• Operating temperature range of 0 to 175 degrees F

Compatibility

Designed for general-purpose pneumatic and fluid system applications using 12 mm outside diameter tubing with 1/2 inch BSPT male-threaded ports.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by pipefitters or pneumatic system technicians. Depressurize and isolate the system completely before removing or installing any fittings. Verify that the mating port thread type is BSPT before installation, as BSPT and NPT threads are not interchangeable. Confirm tube outside diameter is 12 mm and that tube ends are cut cleanly and deburred before inserting into the push-to-connect collet to ensure a leak-free seal.
