Norgren C20600500 Union Tee Tube Fitting 5/16 in Brass

Product Description

The NORGREN C20600500 is a push-to-connect union tee tube fitting designed for tube-to-tube connections in pneumatic and fluid handling systems. Built from brass with nitrile O-rings, it accepts 5/16 inch OD tubing and is rated to 150 psi maximum working pressure. The push-to-connect design allows fast, tool-free insertion and secure sealing without compression ferrules or threaded fittings. This fitting is suited for light industrial, HVAC, and plumbing applications where a reliable three-way tee connection between same-size tubing runs is required. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians are the typical installers.

This union tee fitting is used wherever a single tube line must branch into two directions using 5/16 inch OD tubing. Common applications include pneumatic control lines, instrument air distribution, and low-pressure fluid circuits in both residential and light commercial systems. The fitting operates across a temperature range of 0 degrees F to 175 degrees F, making it suitable for year-round service in conditioned and unconditioned spaces. Overall installed length measures 1.21 inches, keeping the assembly compact in tight panel or cabinet runs.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, or HVAC technicians following applicable IPC and IFGC guidelines for the service medium. Before servicing, depressurize and isolate the line to zero psi. Verify tubing is cut cleanly and squarely and that the OD measures exactly 5/16 inch before insertion to ensure proper O-ring seating. Do not exceed the 150 psi rated working pressure or the 175 degrees F maximum temperature limit.
