Norgren C20230201 Stem Reducer Fitting 1/8 in Od Brass

Product Description

The NORGREN C20230201 is a straight push-to-connect stem reducer tube fitting designed for general-purpose pneumatic and fluid line applications. Constructed from brass, it connects a 1/8-inch OD tube to a 5/32-inch OD stem using a tool-free push-to-connect mechanism that locks tubing securely without ferrules or compression nuts. The fitting is rated to 150 psi maximum working pressure and handles temperatures from 0 degrees F to 175 degrees F, making it suitable for a wide range of service environments. The nitrile O-ring provides a reliable seal against common pneumatic media and light fluids encountered in HVAC, refrigeration control, and instrumentation lines.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial installations where a compact, inline tube-to-stem connection is needed. Typical applications include control line assemblies, instrument tubing runs, and pneumatic signal circuits where a size transition from 1/8-inch OD tubing to a 5/32-inch stem is required. The straight configuration keeps the plumbing profile tight in space-constrained panels and equipment cabinets. It is sized for general-purpose service and is appropriate for HVAC technicians, instrumentation mechanics, and plumbing professionals working with small-bore pneumatic or fluid control tubing.

Key Features

• Push-to-connect design allows tool-free tube insertion and secure retention
• Brass construction provides corrosion resistance in general-purpose pneumatic and fluid service
• 150 psi maximum working pressure rating for reliable performance in control line applications
• Nitrile O-ring seal compatible with common pneumatic media and light fluids
• Operating range from 0 degrees F to 175 degrees F covers typical HVAC and instrumentation conditions
• Straight stem reducer geometry transitions 1/8-inch OD tube to 5/32-inch OD stem in a single compact body

Compatibility

Designed for general-purpose tube-to-stem connections using 1/8-inch OD tubing and 5/32-inch OD stem ports in pneumatic control and fluid line assemblies.

Installation Notes

This fitting is typically installed by HVAC technicians or instrumentation mechanics working on low-pressure pneumatic or fluid control circuits. Before installation, depressurize and isolate the line completely. Cut tubing square and deburr the end before inserting into the push-to-connect collet to ensure a leak-free seal. Follow applicable system and local codes governing pneumatic and fluid control line assembly.
