Norgren M01680618 Swivel Side Tee Adapter 1/8 Bspt Brass

Product Description

The NORGREN M01680618 is a push-to-connect swivel side tee adapter designed for pneumatic and fluid-conveyance tubing systems. It provides a tee configuration with tube-to-male-to-tube-to-male BSPT connections, allowing a branch outlet off an inline tube run using a male BSPT threaded port. Constructed from brass, this fitting accepts 6mm outside-diameter tubing and is rated to 150 psi maximum working pressure. The swivel side tee design simplifies routing in tight or awkward installations. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and pneumatics technicians typically specify this fitting in compressed air and general-purpose fluid systems where quick, tool-free tube connections are required.

This fitting is suited for general-purpose pneumatic and fluid-line applications in both light industrial and commercial environments. The push-to-connect mechanism allows fast tube insertion without separate ferrules or compression sleeves. The 1/8 BSPT male thread makes it compatible with metric-threaded manifolds, valve bodies, and equipment ports common in European and Asian-origin equipment. Operating temperature range runs from 0 degrees F to 175 degrees F, making it appropriate for a wide range of service conditions encountered in HVAC controls, pneumatic actuation circuits, and process instrumentation.

Key Features

• Push-to-connect tube ports accept 6mm OD tubing for tool-free, fast assembly
• Swivel side tee configuration allows branch routing with adjustable port orientation
• 1/8 BSPT male thread for compatibility with metric-threaded ports and equipment
• Brass body construction for corrosion resistance and durability in pneumatic service
• Nitrile o-ring seals rated for the full 0 degrees F to 175 degrees F operating range
• 150 psi maximum working pressure suitable for standard compressed air applications

Compatibility

Designed for general-purpose pneumatic and fluid-line systems using 6mm OD tubing and 1/8 BSPT male threaded ports. Intended for use with compatible push-to-connect tubing in BSPT-threaded manifolds, valve bodies, and instrumentation equipment.

Installation Notes

Depressurize and isolate the pneumatic or fluid circuit completely before removing or installing any fitting. Ensure tubing is cut cleanly and squarely with no burrs before inserting into the push-to-connect ports, as irregular cut ends can compromise the seal. Thread the BSPT male port into the receiving fitting by hand first, then tighten with an appropriate wrench — BSPT is a tapered thread and does not require a separate sealant, but apply PTFE tape or suitable thread sealant per the equipment manufacturer and applicable site requirements. Verify the working pressure of the completed assembly does not exceed the 150 psi rating of this fitting.
