Norgren 124250648 Push-to-connect Male Adapter 3/8 Od

Product Description

The NORGREN 124250648 is a straight push-to-connect male adapter from the Pneufit line, designed to join 3/8-inch OD tubing to a 1/2-inch NPTF male threaded port. Constructed from nickel-plated brass, this fitting delivers a rated working pressure of 260 psi and an overall length of 1.45 inches. It handles temperatures from -4 degrees F to 175 degrees F and carries a vacuum rating of 29.5 in-Hg. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and pneumatic system technicians install this type of fitting in compressed air, fluid, and vacuum line assemblies where a fast, secure tube-to-threaded-port connection is required.

This adapter is suited for residential and commercial pneumatic and fluid distribution systems. The push-to-connect mechanism allows quick tube insertion without additional tools, while the NPTF thread profile provides a pressure-tight seal at the male port connection. Typical installation scenarios include manifold assemblies, instrument air lines, and equipment plumbing where 3/8-inch OD tubing transitions to a 1/2-inch male NPT threaded fitting on a valve, cylinder, or equipment port.

Key Features

• Nickel-plated brass construction resists corrosion in compressed air and fluid service
• Rated to 260 psi maximum working pressure
• Wide temperature range: -4 degrees F to 175 degrees F
• Vacuum-rated to 29.5 in-Hg for use in vacuum line applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style push-to-connect fitting for pneumatic and fluid systems using 3/8-inch OD tubing and 1/2-inch NPTF male threaded ports. Part of the NORGREN Pneufit product line.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed pipefitters, plumbers, or qualified pneumatic system technicians. Depressurize and isolate the system completely before making or breaking any fitting connections. Ensure tubing is cut square, deburred, and clean before inserting into the push-to-connect end to achieve a proper seal. NPTF threads should be engaged per applicable plumbing or pneumatic system codes; inspect the connection for leaks after system repressurization.
