Norgren 124250748 Push-to-connect Male Adapter 1/2 in

Product Description

The NORGREN 124250748 is a straight push-to-connect male adapter designed for pneumatic tubing systems. It connects 1/2-inch OD tubing to a 1/2-inch NPTF male threaded port, providing a secure, tool-free tube connection on one end and a threaded port connection on the other. Constructed from nickel-plated brass, the fitting handles working pressures up to 260 psi and operates across a temperature range of -4 degrees F to 175 degrees F. It also carries a vacuum rating of 29.5 in-Hg, making it suitable for both pressure and vacuum circuits. Pneumatic technicians and pipefitters install this fitting in compressed air and fluid control systems.

This adapter is used in straight-run pneumatic plumbing where a tube must transition to a male NPT threaded component such as a valve body, manifold, or cylinder port. It is appropriate for light industrial, manufacturing, and automation applications where 1/2-inch OD tubing is routed to threaded fittings. The push-to-connect mechanism allows quick tube insertion and release, which reduces installation time during initial assembly or field service.

Key Features

• Push-to-connect design accepts 1/2-inch OD tubing without additional tools or ferrules
• 1/2-inch NPTF male thread for leak-resistant tapered thread engagement
• Nickel-plated brass construction resists corrosion in typical compressed air environments
• 260 psi maximum working pressure suits most industrial pneumatic circuits
• Rated for vacuum service up to 29.5 in-Hg
• Operating range of -4 degrees F to 175 degrees F covers most ambient and elevated-temperature pneumatic applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style push-to-connect replacement or new-installation fitting for pneumatic systems using 1/2-inch OD tubing and 1/2-inch NPTF male threaded ports.

Installation Notes

Installation and service of pneumatic fittings should be performed by qualified pneumatic or pipefitting technicians. Depressurize and lock out the pneumatic circuit fully before removing or installing any fitting. Confirm thread type compatibility between the fitting and the receiving port before assembly, as NPTF and NPT ports may appear similar but differ in sealing behavior. Inspect tubing cut ends for squareness and burrs before insertion to ensure a proper push-to-connect seal.
