Norgren 124260418 Push-to-connect Female Adapter 1/4 Od

Product Description

The NORGREN 124260418 is a straight push-to-connect female adapter fitting designed for pneumatic tube and pipe connections in general-purpose compressed air and gas systems. It uses a tube-to-male NPT configuration, accepting 1/4-inch OD tubing on one end and threading into a 1/8-inch NPTF male port on the other. Constructed from nickel-plated brass, this fitting handles working pressures up to 260 psi and operating temperatures from -4 degrees F to 175 degrees F. It is a compact, field-ready component commonly installed by HVAC technicians, pipefitters, and pneumatic system integrators.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial pneumatic control systems, instrumentation lines, and general-purpose air circuits where a reliable tube-to-threaded-port transition is required. The push-to-connect design allows fast, tool-free tube insertion and secure locking without ferrules or compression rings. It is well matched to applications requiring a clean inline connection between flexible tubing and a fixed threaded male port. The overall installed length of 1.19 inches keeps the assembly compact in tight panel or valve manifold installations.

Key Features

• Push-to-connect design for fast, tool-free tube insertion and removal
• Accepts 1/4-inch OD tubing with a straight inline configuration
• 1/8-inch NPTF threaded male port for leak-resistant tapered thread engagement
• Nickel-plated brass construction resists corrosion in damp or oily air environments
• Rated to 260 psi maximum working pressure
• Vacuum-capable to 29.5 in-Hg for vacuum circuit applications

Compatibility

Designed for general-purpose pneumatic systems using 1/4-inch OD tubing and 1/8-inch NPTF threaded ports. Suitable for use with compatible flexible tubing in compressed air, instrumentation, and control circuit applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed HVAC technicians, pneumatic control technicians, or pipefitters. Depressurize and isolate the air circuit completely before removing or installing any fitting. Thread the NPTF male end into the receiving port by hand first, then tighten with an appropriately sized wrench — do not overtighten, as tapered NPTF threads can crack brass fittings if torqued beyond the port's engagement limit. Insert tubing fully into the push-to-connect end until it seats against the internal stop; verify retention by pulling back on the tube before repressurizing.
