Norgren C24260518 Push-to-connect Adapter 5/16 in Brass

Product Description

The NORGREN C24260518 is a straight push-to-connect adapter fitting designed for inline tube-to-female NPT connections in pneumatic and general-purpose fluid handling systems. The fitting accepts 5/16 inch OD tubing on each tube port and threads into a 1/8 inch NPTF female port. Constructed from brass, it is rated to 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 for air and compatible media. This type of fitting is installed by HVAC technicians, plumbers, and pneumatic system technicians working on control lines, instrument tubing, and low-pressure fluid circuits.

The C24260518 is suited for residential and light commercial pneumatic control systems, instrument air lines, and general-purpose fluid distribution where a straight inline adapter is needed between a threaded female port and push-to-connect tubing. The push-to-connect ends allow fast, tool-free tube insertion while the NPTF threaded center provides a leak-resistant mechanical connection to manifolds, valves, or equipment housings. Overall installed length is 1.14 inches, keeping the fitting compact in tight panel or cabinet installations.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style push-to-connect adapter for general-purpose pneumatic and fluid control systems requiring a straight inline connection between 5/16 inch OD tubing and a 1/8 inch NPTF female port.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified HVAC technician, plumber, or pipefitter. De-pressurize and isolate the system before removing or installing any fittings. Ensure tubing is cut cleanly and squarely and deburred before insertion into the push-to-connect port. Apply thread sealant appropriate for NPTF connections per local plumbing or mechanical codes when making up the NPT end.
