Norgren C24680528 Swivel Side Tee Adapter 5/16 in Od

Product Description

The NORGREN C24680528 is a push-to-connect swivel side tee adapter designed to join tubing runs with a male NPT branch port in a single compact fitting. Constructed from brass, this fitting accepts 5/16 inch OD tubing on both tube ends and provides a 1/4 inch NPTF threaded side port. It is rated for 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 at the tube connections. This fitting is suited for general-purpose pneumatic and fluid transfer applications and is installed by HVAC technicians, plumbers, and industrial service mechanics.

The C24680528 is used in general-purpose compressed air, pneumatic control, and light fluid service lines where a tee branch with a threaded male NPT port is required. The swivel side tee configuration allows the threaded branch to rotate during assembly, reducing installation stress on adjacent tubing and fittings. With an overall length of 2.19 inches, this fitting fits in tight panel or manifold installations. It is appropriate for residential, commercial, and light industrial service environments wherever push-to-connect brass fittings are specified.

Key Features

• Push-to-connect tube ends accept 5/16 inch OD tubing without tools for fast, repeatable connections
• Swivel side tee design allows the NPTF branch port to rotate for easier alignment during installation
• Brass body construction provides corrosion resistance in air and compatible fluid service
• Nitrile O-ring seals deliver reliable tube-end sealing across the rated temperature range
• Rated to 150 psi maximum working pressure for general-purpose pneumatic and fluid lines
• Operating temperature range of 0 degrees F to 175 degrees F covers most HVAC and light industrial environments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style push-to-connect brass tee fitting for general-purpose pneumatic and fluid transfer systems using 5/16 inch OD tubing and 1/4 inch NPTF threaded connections.

Installation Notes

Shut off and depressurize the air or fluid line completely before removing or installing any push-to-connect fitting. Ensure tubing ends are cut square and free of burrs before insertion to achieve a proper seal at the collet. The NPTF threaded port should be sealed with an appropriate thread sealant per the system manufacturer's guidelines and applicable plumbing or pneumatic codes. Confirm the system operating pressure does not exceed the 150 psi rating of this fitting before returning the line to service.
