It accepts 3\/8 inch OD tubing on both push-to-connect ends and threads into a 1\/2 inch NPTF female port. Rated to 250 psi working pressure, this fitting is suited for general-purpose pneumatic and fluid line connections. The brass body and nitrile O-ring construction provide reliable sealing across a wide service temperature range. Licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and fluid-systems technicians typically install this type of fitting in compressed air, water, and low-pressure hydraulic lines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis fitting is intended for general-purpose tube routing applications in residential, commercial, and light industrial environments. Its push-to-connect design speeds up field assembly by eliminating the need for ferrule compression tooling on the tubing ends while the NPTF male thread provides a dry-seal mechanical connection at the port side. It is suited for use with compatible rigid or semi-rigid tubing in pneumatic, brake, and general fluid-handling circuits where D.O.T. and SAE compliance is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePush-to-connect tube ends accept 3\/8 inch OD tubing for tool-free tube insertion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/2 inch NPTF male thread provides a pressure-tight dry-seal connection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrass body with gold finish resists corrosion in general-purpose service\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNitrile O-ring sealing element rated from -40 degrees F to 200 degrees F\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRated to 250 psi maximum working pressure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeets D.O.T.

Depressurize and isolate the line completely before disconnecting or installing any push-to-connect fitting. Verify tubing OD is within tolerance and that the cut end is clean and square before insertion to ensure proper O-ring seating. Thread engagement should follow standard NPTF hand-tight-plus-turns practice per IPC or applicable code; do not overtighten the male NPTF thread into cast or soft-metal ports.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tube x Male x Tube x Male NPTF\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTube Outside Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inches NPTF\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: NPTF\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Working Pressure\u003c\/strong\u003e: 250 psi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eO-Ring Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Nitrile\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor\u003c\/strong\u003e: Gold\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHex Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Work Temperature\u003c\/strong\u003e: -40 degrees F\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Work Temperature\u003c\/strong\u003e: 200 degrees F\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.54 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.88 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.11 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.66 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: D.O.T.
