Norgren 104251248 Straight Push-to-connect Adapter 260 Psi

Product Description

The NORGREN 104251248 is a push-to-connect straight adapter fitting designed to join tubing on both ends to a male NPTF threaded port in a single inline connection. Constructed from nickel-plated brass, this fitting handles a maximum working pressure of 260 psi and operates across a temperature range of 0 to 175 degrees F. The connection configuration is tube-by-male-NPT-by-tube, making it suited for inline runs where a threaded male port must be integrated into a push-connect pneumatic or fluid line. With an overall length of 1.7 inches, it fits in compact manifold and panel installations. A nitrile O-ring provides a reliable seal at the tube connections.

This fitting is intended for general-purpose pneumatic and fluid-line applications in commercial and light industrial environments. It is commonly installed in compressed air distribution, instrumentation lines, and process control tubing runs. Trades including HVAC technicians, refrigeration mechanics, and industrial maintenance technicians install these fittings when transitioning between push-connect tubing and male NPTF threaded ports on valves, manifolds, or equipment bodies. The 12 mm outside diameter tube sizing suits metric tubing commonly found in imported equipment and OEM assemblies.

Key Features

• Push-to-connect on both tube ends with male NPTF center thread for fast, tool-free tube insertion
• Nickel-plated brass body resists corrosion in general-purpose pneumatic and fluid service
• 260 psi maximum working pressure rating
• Wide service temperature range: 0 to 175 degrees F
• Nitrile O-ring seals for reliable tube retention and leak resistance
• Compact 1.7-inch overall length suits tight installation spaces

Compatibility

Designed for general-purpose use with 12 mm outside diameter push-to-connect tubing in pneumatic and fluid systems requiring an inline male NPTF threaded adapter.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by qualified HVAC technicians, plumbers, or industrial maintenance mechanics. Depressurize and isolate the line completely before removing or installing any push-connect fitting. Ensure tubing ends are cut square, deburred, and free of contamination before inserting into the fitting to achieve a proper seal. Thread connections should be made in accordance with applicable thread engagement standards for NPTF fittings to prevent leaks under pressure.
