Norgren C20230502 Push-to-connect Tube Fitting Brass

Product Description

The NORGREN C20230502 is a push-to-connect tube-to-stem tube fitting designed for fast, tool-free connections in pneumatic and fluid-handling systems. Constructed from brass, this fitting accepts 5/32-inch outside-diameter tubing on the tube side and has a 5/16-inch outside-diameter stem. It is rated for a maximum working pressure of 150 psi and can operate across a temperature range of 0 degrees F to 175 degrees F. The nitrile O-ring provides a reliable seal against air and compatible fluid media. Technicians installing pneumatic control lines, instrumentation tubing, or low-pressure fluid circuits will find this fitting a straightforward drop-in connection component.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial applications wherever push-to-connect tubing terminations are required. Common install scenarios include pneumatic control systems, HVAC pneumatic actuator lines, instrumentation runs, and compressed-air distribution sub-circuits. The 5/32-inch OD tube engagement paired with a 5/16-inch stem makes it compatible with standard small-bore tubing assemblies typical in control and automation work. The brass body withstands moderate pressures and temperatures encountered in these environments without degradation.

Key Features

• Push-to-connect design allows fast, tool-free tube insertion and removal
• Brass body construction offers corrosion resistance for air and compatible fluid service
• Rated to 150 psi maximum working pressure
• Wide operating temperature range: 0 degrees F to 175 degrees F
• Nitrile O-ring provides a positive, leak-resistant seal
• Tube-to-stem configuration simplifies connection to barbed or threaded stem ports

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation push-to-connect fitting for pneumatic and low-pressure fluid systems using 5/32-inch outside-diameter tubing with a 5/16-inch stem interface.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a qualified HVAC technician, instrumentation mechanic, or pipefitter. Depressurize and isolate the system completely before disconnecting or inserting any fitting. Ensure tubing ends are cut square and deburred to guarantee a proper seal at the push-to-connect collet. Verify that operating pressure and temperature in the target circuit do not exceed the fitting ratings before returning the system to service.
