Norgren 124250538 Push-to-connect Male Adapter 5/16 Od

Product Description

The NORGREN 124250538 is a Pneufit push-to-connect male adapter fitting designed for pneumatic tubing systems. It connects 5/16 inch OD tubing to a 3/8 inch NPTF male threaded port, allowing quick tube insertion without additional tools or ferrules. The body is nickel-plated brass, suited for compressed air and compatible pneumatic media within its rated pressure and temperature range. This fitting is installed by HVAC technicians, pneumatic controls specialists, and industrial mechanics working on air lines, control circuits, and instrumentation tubing. It is rated to 260 psi and handles temperatures from -4 degrees F to 175 degrees F.

This adapter is used in residential and commercial pneumatic control systems, compressed air distribution lines, and instrumentation tubing runs where a tube-to-male NPT transition is required. It is well suited for connections to solenoid valve ports, manifold blocks, actuators, and other threaded pneumatic components. The push-to-connect design speeds up field assembly and simplifies replacements during service calls.

Key Features

• Push-to-connect design allows tool-free tube insertion for fast field assembly
• Nickel-plated brass construction resists corrosion in compressed air environments
• Rated to 260 psi maximum working pressure
• Operating temperature range of -4 degrees F to 175 degrees F
• 3/8 inch NPTF male thread seals reliably on standard NPT ports
• Accepts 5/16 inch OD tubing with no additional ferrules or fittings required

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or upgrade fitting for pneumatic control and compressed air systems using 5/16 inch OD tubing with 3/8 inch NPTF male threaded ports.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified technician. Depressurize and lock out the pneumatic system before removing or installing any fittings. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to the NPTF male threads as required by the application and in accordance with the system manufacturer guidelines. Confirm tubing is cut cleanly and squarely before insertion to ensure a proper seal in the push-to-connect collet.
