Norgren 124680418 Swivel Male Side Tee 1/4 in Od

Product Description

The NORGREN 124680418 is a Pneufit swivel male side tee push-to-connect tube fitting constructed from nickel-plated brass. It accepts 1/4 inch OD tubing on two ports and connects to a 1/8 inch NPTF male thread on the side outlet. The swivel feature on the male thread port allows for rotational adjustment after assembly, reducing stress on connected lines. Rated for a maximum working pressure of 260 psi, this fitting is suited for general-purpose pneumatic plumbing tasks. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and pneumatic system technicians are the typical installers.

This fitting is intended for general-purpose pneumatic tubing systems where a 90-degree or tee branch connection is needed between 1/4 inch OD tubing runs and a male NPT threaded port. Common applications include compressed air distribution, instrumentation lines, and light industrial pneumatic circuits. The push-to-connect design allows for fast, tool-free tube insertion and release, making it practical in tight service spaces or during new system builds.

Key Features

• Push-to-connect tube ports accept 1/4 inch OD tubing without additional fittings or tools
• Swivel male NPTF side port allows rotational adjustment to align connected components
• Nickel-plated brass construction resists corrosion in typical pneumatic service environments
• Maximum working pressure of 260 psi suitable for standard compressed air systems
• Operating temperature range from -4 degrees F to 175 degrees F covers most indoor pneumatic applications
• Vacuum-capable rated to 29.5 in-Hg for light vacuum circuit use

Compatibility

Designed for general-purpose pneumatic tubing systems using 1/4 inch OD tubing and 1/8 inch NPTF male threaded ports. No specific equipment model compatibility was stated in the product data.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified pipefitter or pneumatic system technician. Depressurize and lock out the air supply completely before disconnecting or installing any fitting. Ensure the NPTF thread is clean and in good condition before engaging the swivel port. Do not exceed the rated working pressure of 260 psi or the maximum temperature of 175 degrees F in service.
