Norgren C01680838 Push-to-connect Tube Fitting Bspt

Product Description

The NORGREN C01680838 is a push-to-connect tube fitting with a male BSPT thread configuration designed for pneumatic and fluid-handling systems. The fitting uses a tube-in, male-thread-out connection on both ends, allowing technicians to route tubing runs while transitioning to a threaded port in a single component. Constructed from brass, it handles working pressures up to 150 psi and operates across a temperature range of 0 degrees F to 175 degrees F. The push-to-connect mechanism eliminates the need for ferrules or compression sleeves, reducing installation time on general-purpose pneumatic lines.

This fitting is suited for general-purpose compressed-air and fluid-distribution plumbing in industrial, commercial, and light-mechanical applications. It accepts 8 mm outside-diameter tubing and terminates in a 3/8-inch male BSPT thread, making it appropriate for equipment with metric tubing circuits that transition to BSPT-threaded manifolds, valve bodies, or port blocks. Licensed pipefitters, plumbers, and pneumatic-systems technicians typically install this type of fitting during new construction, system expansion, or maintenance service on pneumatic control circuits.

Key Features

• Push-to-connect design accepts 8 mm OD tubing without ferrules or additional compression hardware
• Male BSPT thread on the port end for direct connection to BSPT-threaded manifolds and valve bodies
• Brass construction provides corrosion resistance in compressed-air and compatible fluid service
• Rated to 150 psi maximum working pressure
• Operating temperature range of 0 degrees F to 175 degrees F
• Nitrile O-ring sealing material for reliable low-leak performance

Compatibility

Designed for general-purpose pneumatic and fluid-handling systems using 8 mm OD tubing with BSPT-threaded port connections.

Installation Notes

Depressurize and isolate the pneumatic or fluid circuit fully before removing or installing any fittings. Cut tubing square and deburr the end before inserting into the push-to-connect collar to ensure a proper seal. Hand-tighten the BSPT threaded end into the mating port and apply appropriate thread sealant per the system fluid compatibility requirements. Follow applicable piping codes and the equipment manufacturer guidance for torque and sealant selection.
