Norgren 120200500 Push-to-connect Union 5/16 Inch Od

Product Description

The NORGREN 120200500 is a Pneufit push-to-connect union fitting designed for tube-to-tube connections in pneumatic systems. It accepts 5/16 inch OD tubing on both ends and requires no tools for connection — tubing seats and locks in a single push. Constructed from nickel-plated brass, this union fitting handles a maximum working pressure of 260 psi and operates across a temperature range of -4 degrees F to 175 degrees F. A vacuum rating of 29.5 in-Hg makes it suitable for both pressure and vacuum pneumatic circuits. HVAC technicians, automation technicians, and pneumatic system installers use this fitting in light industrial and commercial control applications.

This union is suited for pneumatic tubing runs in air-operated control systems, instrumentation lines, and compressed-air distribution. Its straight union configuration allows inline connection or repair of a tubing run without special tooling. The nickel-plated brass construction resists corrosion in typical indoor and light industrial environments. It is sold individually and is appropriate wherever a 5/16 inch OD push-to-connect union fitting is required.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed as a push-to-connect union fitting for pneumatic systems using 5/16 inch OD tubing, compatible with standard Pneufit-style tube fittings of the same tube size.

Installation Notes

Cut tubing squarely and deburr the end before insertion to ensure a proper seal and full engagement of the internal collet. Push tubing firmly into the fitting until it seats against the internal stop. To release tubing, depress the collet release ring evenly while pulling the tube out. Always depressurize and de-energize the pneumatic circuit before servicing or replacing fittings.
