Norgren C20230604 Push-to-connect Tube Stem Fitting

Product Description

The NORGREN C20230604 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 a 1/4-inch outside diameter tube and connects to a 3/8-inch outside diameter stem. 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 across a broad range of media. HVAC technicians, plumbers, and industrial service pros install this type of fitting when routing tubing to threaded or barbed stem ports in control systems, instrumentation lines, and light pneumatic circuits.

This fitting suits residential and light commercial applications where copper, nylon, or polyurethane tubing must terminate at a stem-style port. Typical install scenarios include condensate management lines, control-air tubing runs, and process-monitoring instrument connections. The push-to-connect design speeds up assembly on tight service calls and reduces the need for compression ferrules or solder joints. It is packaged and sold as a single unit.

Key Features

• Push-to-connect design allows tool-free tube insertion and fast field assembly
• Brass body construction for corrosion resistance and durability
• Nitrile O-ring seal compatible with a wide range of pneumatic and fluid media
• 1/4-inch tube OD inlet with 3/8-inch stem OD connection
• Rated to 150 psi maximum working pressure
• Operating temperature range: 0 degrees F to 175 degrees F

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service fitting for pneumatic and fluid-handling systems that use 1/4-inch OD tubing terminated at a 3/8-inch stem port.

Installation Notes

Shut off all system pressure and verify the line is depressurized before removing or installing any push-to-connect fitting. Ensure the tube end is cut cleanly and squarely, with no burrs, to achieve a leak-free seal. This fitting is typically installed by licensed HVAC technicians or plumbers working within applicable mechanical code requirements. Inspect the nitrile O-ring for damage before assembly; a compromised O-ring will cause seal failure under pressure.
