Norgren C20230104 Stem Expander Fitting 1/4 Inch Od Brass

Product Description

The NORGREN C20230104 is a push-to-connect tube-to-stem fitting configured as a straight stem expander. It accepts tubing with a 1/4-inch outside diameter on the push-to-connect end and transitions to a 1/8-inch outside diameter stem. The body is machined from brass, rated to 150 psi maximum working pressure, and carries an operating temperature range of 0 to 175 degrees F. An integrated nitrile o-ring provides a reliable seal at the stem interface. This fitting is installed by plumbers, HVAC technicians, and fluid-system mechanics wherever a quick, tool-free tube connection to a stem-style port is required.

The C20230104 is suited for use in compressed air lines, pneumatic control circuits, fluid distribution manifolds, and light-duty hydraulic tubing runs operating within its rated pressure and temperature envelope. The straight configuration simplifies inline connections where space allows a direct tube-to-stem transition. Its compact 1.41-inch overall length makes it practical in tight panel or cabinet installations common in HVAC and industrial pneumatic applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, or qualified pneumatic-system mechanics. Before connecting or disconnecting this fitting, depressurize and lock out the system per applicable safety procedures. Ensure tubing ends are cut square and deburred before insertion to achieve a full, leak-free seat. Verify system media compatibility with brass and nitrile before placing this fitting in service.
