Norgren C24680428 Swivel Side Tee Adapter 1/4 in Brass

Product Description

The NORGREN C24680428 is a brass push-to-connect swivel side tee adapter designed for pneumatic and fluid distribution lines. It combines a tube-to-tube push-fit connection on two ports with a male NPTF threaded side outlet, allowing a tee branch to be added to an existing line without cutting or swaging. The fitting handles up to 150 psi working pressure and operates across a temperature range of 0 degrees F to 175 degrees F. The nitrile O-ring seat supports a reliable, tool-free tube insertion seal on the push-to-connect ends. Licensed plumbers, HVAC mechanics, and pneumatic system technicians are the typical installers.

This fitting is suited for general-purpose compressed air, pneumatic control, and light fluid service applications. The 1/4 inch OD tube ports accept standard 1/4 inch outside diameter tubing, while the 1/4 inch NPTF male thread provides a pressure-rated connection into a ported manifold, valve body, or threaded female port. It is commonly used in residential and light commercial HVAC control panels, pneumatic actuator circuits, and compressed air distribution branch points where a compact inline tee is needed without hard plumbing.

Key Features

• Push-to-connect tube ports for tool-free, no-solder tube insertion on both tube ends
• Swivel side tee design allows the NPTF male thread to be positioned before tightening
• Brass construction for corrosion resistance in air and light fluid service
• 150 psi maximum working pressure rating
• Nitrile O-ring seals for reliable push-fit retention
• Wide service temperature range: 0 degrees F to 175 degrees F

Compatibility

Designed for general-purpose pneumatic and fluid control lines using 1/4 inch OD tubing with a 1/4 inch NPTF male threaded outlet. Suitable for standard compressed air and light fluid systems requiring an inline tee branch connection.

Installation Notes

Depressurize and lock out the pneumatic or fluid system completely before installing or removing this fitting. The NPTF male thread should be tightened into the receiving port using appropriate thread sealant or tape per system requirements and applicable plumbing codes. Push-to-connect ports require clean, burr-free tubing cut to a square end for a proper seal. Verify tube OD matches the fitting specification before insertion to avoid seal bypass.
