Norgren C20230605 Stem Reducer Fitting 5/16 in Brass

Product Description

The NORGREN C20230605 is a straight push-to-connect tube-to-stem reducer fitting designed for general-purpose pneumatic and fluid line applications. Constructed from brass, this fitting connects a 5/16-inch OD tube to a 3/8-inch OD stem, reducing between the two sizes in a single inline body. It carries a maximum working pressure of 150 psi and is rated for service from 0 degrees F to 175 degrees F. The push-to-connect end accepts tubing without tools, while the stem end provides a secure, direct connection to compatible ports or valves. This type of fitting is installed by HVAC technicians, plumbers, and pipefitters working with compressed air or general-purpose fluid lines.

The C20230605 is suited for general-purpose tubing runs in residential and light commercial environments where a size transition is needed between a 5/16-inch tube and a 3/8-inch stem. Its straight configuration makes it appropriate for in-line installations where routing space is not a constraint. The brass body and nitrile O-ring construction make it compatible with a range of dry or mildly wet pneumatic media within its rated temperature and pressure limits.

Compatibility

Designed for general-purpose pneumatic and fluid line applications requiring a push-to-connect tube-to-stem reduction from 5/16-inch OD tube to a 3/8-inch OD stem.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified technician. Depressurize and isolate the line completely before disconnecting or installing any fitting. Ensure the tubing end is cut cleanly and squarely and is free of burrs before inserting into the push-to-connect end to achieve a proper seal. Do not exceed the rated working pressure or temperature limits for the fitting or the connected tubing.
