Norgren 124260638 Ptc Female Adapter 3/8 Inch Od Nptf

Product Description

The NORGREN 124260638 is a push-to-connect Pneufit female adapter fitting in a straight configuration, designed to join tube lines to male NPT threaded ports in pneumatic and fluid-transfer systems. Constructed from nickel-plated brass, this fitting handles a maximum working pressure of 260 psi and an operating temperature range of -4 degrees F to 175 degrees F. The push-to-connect mechanism allows fast, tool-free tube insertion on both tube ends while the 3/8 inch NPTF male thread seals securely to a ported component. Licensed HVAC technicians, plumbers, and pneumatic system technicians are the typical installers.

This fitting is suited for general-purpose pneumatic and fluid-line applications in both light industrial and commercial service environments. It accommodates 3/8 inch outside diameter tubing and threads into 3/8 inch NPTF ports, making it a practical inline adapter wherever a tube-to-threaded-port transition is required. Its nickel-plated brass body resists corrosion in moderate-duty service conditions, and the vacuum rating of 29.5 inches Hg supports use in vacuum as well as pressure circuits.

Key Features

• Push-to-connect design on tube ends for fast, tool-free installation
• 3/8 inch OD tube compatibility on both tube connection points
• 3/8 inch NPTF male thread for leak-resistant tapered thread engagement
• 260 psi maximum working pressure for demanding pneumatic service
• Vacuum-rated to 29.5 inches Hg for dual pressure and vacuum circuits
• Nickel-plated brass construction for corrosion resistance and durability

Compatibility

Designed for general-purpose pneumatic and fluid-transfer systems using 3/8 inch OD tubing and 3/8 inch NPTF male-threaded ports.

Installation Notes

Shut off and depressurize the pneumatic or fluid system completely before removing or installing fittings. Inspect tubing ends for clean, square cuts and remove burrs before inserting into the push-to-connect port. Thread the NPTF male end into the mating port by hand first, then tighten with an appropriate wrench — do not overtighten, as NPTF tapered threads seal on thread engagement. Verify all connections are leak-free by pressurizing the system gradually and checking with an appropriate leak-detection method.
