Norgren 120400600 Union Elbow Fitting 3/8 in Od 260 Psi

Product Description

The NORGREN 120400600 is a Pneufit push-to-connect union elbow tube fitting designed for tube-to-tube connections in pneumatic and general-purpose fluid systems. Constructed from nickel-plated brass, it handles a maximum working pressure of 260 psi and operates across a temperature range of -4 degrees F to 175 degrees F. The elbow configuration redirects tubing runs without additional tools or thread sealants, making it a fast, reliable choice for field assembly. HVAC technicians, pneumatic system installers, and industrial maintenance trades install this fitting where a 90-degree change of direction is needed in a 3/8 inch OD tubing line.

This fitting is suited for general-purpose pneumatic lines, compressed air distribution, and light fluid handling applications. Its push-to-connect design allows tubing to be inserted and locked in place without ferrules, wrenches, or thread tape, reducing installation time significantly. The 3/8 inch OD size is common in residential and light commercial pneumatic control circuits, HVAC pneumatic tubing runs, and similar trade applications. The vacuum rating of 29.5 inches Hg also makes it usable in low-pressure vacuum service.

Key Features

• Push-to-connect design — no tools required for tube insertion and lock
• Nickel-plated brass body for corrosion resistance in pneumatic and fluid service
• 260 psi maximum working pressure suits typical compressed air and pneumatic control systems
• Wide operating temperature range: -4 degrees F to 175 degrees F
• 29.5 in-Hg vacuum rating supports light vacuum applications
• 90-degree elbow geometry for compact tube routing in tight spaces

Compatibility

Designed for general-purpose pneumatic and fluid systems using 3/8 inch OD tubing. Suitable for compressed air, inert gas, and compatible fluid lines where push-to-connect tube fittings are specified.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by pneumatic system technicians or HVAC mechanics. Depressurize and isolate the line completely before removing or installing any fitting. Ensure tubing end is cut cleanly and squarely with no burrs before inserting into the fitting to achieve a proper seal. Verify tubing OD matches the 3/8 inch specification — undersized or oversized tubing will not seal correctly.
