Norgren 124250438 Push-to-connect Male Adapter 1/4 Od

Product Description

The NORGREN 124250438 is a straight Pneufit push-to-connect male adapter designed for pneumatic tube connections in compressed air and vacuum systems. It accepts 1/4 inch OD tubing on the push-to-connect end and threads into a 3/8 inch NPTF male port on the other side. The body is nickel-plated brass, rated to 260 psi maximum working pressure, and handles temperatures from -4 degrees F to 175 degrees F. The overall installed length is 1.07 inches. HVAC technicians, industrial mechanics, and pneumatic system installers use this fitting to transition between push-to-connect tubing runs and threaded male ports on equipment manifolds, solenoids, and control components.

This adapter is suited for residential and light commercial HVAC controls, pneumatic actuator supply lines, and general-purpose compressed air plumbing where a quick, reliable tube-to-male-NPT connection is needed. The push-to-connect design allows fast tube insertion without additional tools and supports a vacuum rating of 29.5 in-Hg, making it appropriate for both pressure and vacuum circuit applications. It is sold individually.

Key Features

• Push-to-connect on tube end allows tool-free tube insertion and removal
• 3/8 inch NPTF male thread for secure, pressure-rated port connections
• Accepts 1/4 inch OD tubing
• Nickel-plated brass construction for corrosion resistance and durability
• Rated to 260 psi maximum working pressure
• Vacuum-rated to 29.5 in-Hg for dual pressure and vacuum service

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Pneufit-series push-to-connect fitting compatible with 1/4 inch OD pneumatic tubing and 3/8 inch NPTF male threaded ports in compressed air and vacuum plumbing systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed HVAC technicians or qualified pneumatic system mechanics. De-pressurize and lock out the air supply before servicing any fitting in the line. Ensure the receiving port threads are clean and in good condition before threading in the NPTF male end; NPTF threads are self-sealing by design, but inspect for damage that could prevent a proper seal. Confirm tube OD is exactly 1/4 inch and that the tube end is cut cleanly and squarely before inserting into the push-to-connect collet.
