Norgren C20230402 Stem Reducer Fitting 5/32 in Brass

Product Description

The NORGREN C20230402 is a straight push-to-connect stem reducer tube fitting designed to connect a 5/32-inch OD tube to a 1/4-inch OD stem. Constructed from brass, it is rated for a maximum working pressure of 150 psi and handles temperatures from 0 degrees F to 175 degrees F. The nitrile O-ring provides a reliable seal within the push-to-connect mechanism, allowing tool-free tube insertion and secure retention. At 1.59 inches overall length, the fitting is compact enough for tight plumbing and pneumatic assemblies. HVAC technicians, plumbers, and industrial service professionals install this type of fitting where tubing must transition to a threaded or barbed stem connection.

This fitting is suited for use in pneumatic control lines, instrumentation tubing runs, and light-duty fluid handling systems where a tube-to-stem reduction is required. The straight configuration makes it appropriate for in-line applications where no directional change is needed. Its brass construction and nitrile O-ring make it compatible with a range of air, water, and compatible fluid media within its rated pressure and temperature envelope. It is commonly found in HVAC control pneumatics, plumbing sub-assemblies, and light industrial process lines.

Key Features

• Brass construction for corrosion resistance and durability in fluid and pneumatic service
• Nitrile O-ring provides a positive seal across the rated temperature range
• Rated to 150 psi maximum working pressure
• Compact at 1.59 inches overall length for use in confined assemblies
• Straight stem reducer geometry transitions a 5/32-inch OD tube to a 1/4-inch OD stem

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style push-to-connect stem reducer for pneumatic control and fluid handling systems accepting a 5/32-inch OD tube connection to a 1/4-inch OD stem.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by plumbers, HVAC technicians, or instrumentation technicians. Before installing or removing this fitting, depressurize and isolate the line completely. Ensure the tube end is cut cleanly and squarely with no burrs, as a deformed tube end will compromise the O-ring seal. To remove the tube, press and hold the collet release collar while pulling the tube free.
