Norgren C20230704 Push-to-connect Tube Stem Fitting

Product Description

The NORGREN C20230704 is a push-to-connect tube to stem tube fitting designed for general-purpose fluid and pneumatic line connections. Constructed from brass, this fitting accepts a 1/4 inch outside diameter tube and transitions to a 1/2 inch stem outside diameter. The push-to-connect design allows for fast, tool-free tube insertion while maintaining a secure, leak-resistant seal backed by a nitrile O-ring. Rated to 150 psi maximum working pressure, it handles a service temperature range of 0 degrees F to 175 degrees F. Plumbers, pipefitters, and pneumatic system technicians install this fitting wherever a quick, reliable tube-to-stem transition is required.

This fitting is suited for general-purpose applications in residential and light commercial systems where push-to-connect convenience is preferred over compression or flare-type connections. Typical install scenarios include pneumatic control lines, low-pressure fluid distribution, and instrumentation tubing runs. The 1/4 inch OD tube entry and 1/2 inch stem OD make it a practical inline component for connecting tubing to threaded or barbed stem ports in a wide range of service environments.

Key Features

• Push-to-connect design allows tool-free tube insertion for faster installation
• Brass construction provides corrosion resistance in general-purpose fluid and pneumatic service
• Nitrile O-ring seat delivers a secure, leak-resistant seal across the rated temperature range
• 150 psi maximum working pressure rating suitable for low-to-medium pressure applications
• Rated from 0 degrees F to 175 degrees F for broad service temperature coverage
• 1/4 inch OD tube connection with 1/2 inch stem OD for reliable tube-to-stem transitions

Compatibility

Designed for general-purpose use with 1/4 inch outside diameter tubing in pneumatic and fluid line applications requiring a tube-to-stem push-to-connect interface.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters familiar with push-to-connect fittings and applicable plumbing or pneumatic codes. Before servicing any line, depressurize and isolate the system completely. Ensure the tube end is cut cleanly and squarely, and that no burrs are present before inserting into the fitting to avoid damage to the O-ring seal. Do not exceed the rated working pressure or temperature limits stated by the manufacturer.
