Norgren 102470838 90 Swivel Elbow Ptc Fitting Bspp

Product Description

The NORGREN 102470838 is a 90-degree swivel elbow push-to-connect tube fitting designed for general-purpose pneumatic and fluid systems. It connects an 8 mm outside-diameter tube on each tube port to a male BSPP threaded port, allowing a right-angle change of direction in the line. The swivel design lets the fitting rotate after assembly, making it easier to align tubing without twisting. Constructed from nickel-plated brass, it handles working pressures up to 260 psi and operates across a temperature range of 0 degrees F to 175 degrees F. An internal nitrile O-ring provides a reliable seal on the tube side. This type of fitting is installed by HVAC technicians, pneumatic system technicians, and plumbers working on compressed-air or fluid-control lines.

The 102470838 is suited for general-purpose compressed-air lines, pneumatic control circuits, and fluid-handling systems that require a 90-degree direction change at a male BSPP threaded port. The push-to-connect ends accept 8 mm OD tubing, making it compatible with standard metric pneumatic tubing commonly found in light industrial and commercial building automation applications. The swivel elbow configuration is especially useful in tight installations where fixed elbows would create alignment difficulties during assembly or service.

Key Features

• Push-to-connect ends accept 8 mm OD tubing for tool-free tube insertion and release
• Swivel elbow body rotates after installation to align tubing without line twist
• Male BSPP threaded port for direct connection to BSPP-tapped ports or fittings
• Nickel-plated brass construction resists corrosion in typical compressed-air environments
• Nitrile O-ring seal rated for 0 degrees F to 175 degrees F service
• Maximum working pressure of 260 psi for general-purpose pneumatic and fluid lines

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose push-to-connect swivel elbow fitting for systems using 8 mm OD metric tubing and male BSPP threaded ports. No specific equipment model compatibility was provided in the product data.

Installation Notes

Depressurize and de-energize the system completely before removing or installing any pneumatic fitting. Verify that the mating port thread is BSPP, not NPT or BSPT, before threading the fitting in place, as these thread forms are not interchangeable. Insert tubing fully into the push-to-connect port until it seats against the internal stop, and confirm retention with a light pull-back before pressurizing. Inspect the nitrile O-ring for damage prior to installation and replace it if any nicking or flat-spotting is visible.
