Norgren 124680638 Push-to-connect Tube Fitting 3/8 in

Product Description

The NORGREN 124680638 is a push-to-connect tube fitting with a male NPT port, designed for inline pneumatic or fluid line connections where a quick, tool-free tube connection meets a threaded port. The fitting accepts 3/8-inch outside-diameter tubing on both tube ends and threads into a 3/8-inch NPTF male port. Constructed from nickel-plated brass, it is rated for a maximum working pressure of 260 psi and a vacuum rating of 29.5 inches of mercury. Plumbers, pipefitters, and pneumatic system technicians install this type of fitting in compressed air lines, instrumentation tubing, and light fluid distribution systems.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial applications where tube-to-male-NPT inline connections are required. Typical install scenarios include compressed air distribution panels, pneumatic control lines, and plumbing instrument taps. The push-to-connect ends allow fast field assembly without ferrules or compression nuts, reducing installation time on service calls or new construction runs. It is sold as a single piece per package.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-install fitting for pneumatic and fluid systems using 3/8-inch OD tubing and 3/8-inch NPTF male ported components.

Installation Notes

This fitting is typically installed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, or pneumatic system technicians. Depressurize and isolate the line completely before removing or installing any fitting. NPTF threads are tapered and self-sealing by design, but thread sealant or tape may be applied per system requirements and applicable codes. Do not exceed the rated working pressure of 260 psi in service.
