Norgren 124260228 Push-to-connect Tube Fitting 1/4 Npt

Product Description

The NORGREN 124260228 is a push-to-connect tube fitting with a male NPT thread connection, designed for use in pneumatic and fluid distribution systems. This union-style fitting connects tubing on both ends while threading into a male NPT port at the center, allowing quick, tool-free tube insertion on each side. Constructed from nickel-plated brass, it handles a maximum working pressure of 260 psi and carries a vacuum rating of 29.5 inches of mercury. The NPTF thread type provides a pressure-tight seal without additional sealant when properly engaged. HVAC technicians, pneumatic system installers, and industrial plumbing professionals use this fitting for secure, leak-resistant connections in compressed air and fluid control lines.

This fitting is suited for light commercial and industrial pneumatic plumbing where fast, reliable tube connections to NPT-threaded ports are required. The push-to-connect design reduces installation time compared to traditional compression fittings, making it a practical choice for manifold assemblies, control panels, and instrument air lines. It accepts 5/32 inch OD tubing on both tube ports and threads into a 1/4 inch NPTF male port, covering common small-bore pneumatic circuit configurations encountered in HVAC controls, automation equipment, and process instrumentation.

Key Features

• Push-to-connect design on both tube ends for tool-free tube insertion and removal
• 1/4 inch NPTF male thread for a pressure-tight port connection
• Accepts 5/32 inch OD tubing on each tube port
• Nickel-plated brass construction for corrosion resistance in pneumatic service
• 260 psi maximum working pressure rating
• 29.5 inches of mercury vacuum rating for use in vacuum circuit applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-install fitting for pneumatic and fluid control systems requiring 5/32 inch OD push-to-connect tube ports with a 1/4 inch NPTF male thread interface.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified pneumatic or plumbing technician. Depressurize and lock out the system before removing or installing any fittings. Verify that tubing is cut cleanly and squarely and is fully seated in the push-to-connect collet before pressurizing. NPTF threads are designed to seal on the threads themselves, but inspect the joint for leaks after returning the system to service pressure.
