Norgren 124260118 Push-to-connect Tube Fitting 1/8 in

Product Description

The NORGREN 124260118 is a push-to-connect tube fitting with a male NPT port, designed for inline tube-to-tube connections with a threaded male branch. Built from nickel-plated brass, this fitting handles working pressures up to 260 psi and carries a vacuum rating of 29.5 inches Hg, making it suitable for both pressurized and vacuum fluid or pneumatic circuits. The tube outside diameter is 1/8 inch and the male NPT thread is 1/8 inch NPTF. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and industrial pipefitters install this type of fitting when a quick, toolless tube connection is required alongside a threaded male port interface.

This fitting is rated for general-purpose use across pneumatic and fluid handling applications. Typical installations include instrument air lines, control tubing runs, and light hydraulic circuits where a push-to-connect entry point on each tube end feeds into a central male NPT port. The NPTF thread form provides a pressure-tight mechanical seal without requiring additional thread sealant, though sealant may be applied per local practice and system requirements. Both residential and light commercial applications fall within the rated operating envelope.

Key Features

• Push-to-connect design on tube ends allows toolless tube insertion and release
• 1/8 inch NPTF male thread provides a pressure-tight port without a separate fitting adapter
• Nickel-plated brass construction resists corrosion in general-purpose pneumatic and fluid service
• 260 psi maximum working pressure suits a wide range of instrument and control air applications
• 29.5 inches Hg vacuum rating supports vacuum circuit use in addition to pressure service
• Compact 1/8 inch OD tube size fits tight routing paths and instrument panel installations

Compatibility

Rated for general-purpose pneumatic and fluid handling systems. Compatible with 1/8 inch outside diameter tubing and 1/8 inch NPTF male-threaded ports.

Installation Notes

Shut off and bleed system pressure before removing or installing any tube fitting. Verify tube end is cut cleanly and squarely with no burrs before inserting into the push-to-connect collet. NPTF threads are designed to seal on the thread form, but always follow the system owner's specification for thread sealant use. This fitting is typically installed by licensed HVAC technicians, plumbers, or qualified industrial pipefitters working under applicable mechanical codes.
