Constructed from brass, it connects 1\/4-inch OD tubing to a 1\/8-inch male NPT port with a swivel elbow geometry that simplifies routing in tight spaces. Rated to 250 psi maximum working pressure, it handles a temperature range of -40 degrees F to 200 degrees F. The push-to-connect design allows fast, tool-free tube insertion, while the swivel feature permits the fitting body to rotate before final positioning. An internal nitrile O-ring provides a reliable seal under pressure and temperature cycling. Licensed plumbers, fleet mechanics, and HVAC technicians install this type of fitting in compressed air and fluid transfer lines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis fitting is specified for D.O.T. air brake circuit plumbing on commercial vehicles, trailers, and heavy equipment. It meets D.O.T. FMVSS 571.106, SAE J2494, SAE J2494-3, and SAE J844 standards, making it appropriate for federally regulated air brake systems. It is also suitable for general pneumatic tubing runs in industrial and HVAC applications where a 1\/4-inch OD push-to-connect connection terminates at a 1\/8-inch NPT male port. The 45-degree elbow orientation reduces bend stress on the tubing and allows more direct routing compared to a straight fitting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePush-to-connect design allows fast tube insertion without tools or ferrules\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSwivel body rotates before final lock-down for precise line routing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBrass construction provides corrosion resistance in air and fluid service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNitrile O-ring seal rated from -40 degrees F to 200 degrees F\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e250 psi maximum working pressure\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMeets D.O.T.

Depressurize the air system completely before removing or installing any fittings. Ensure tubing is cut cleanly and squarely and that the tube end is free of burrs before inserting into the push-to-connect port. Apply thread sealant compatible with NPT connections to the male NPT threads per standard practice; verify the swivel body is oriented correctly before torquing the NPT end into the port.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tube x MNPT x Tube x Male\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTube Outside Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/8 inch NPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: NPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Working Pressure\u003c\/strong\u003e: 250 psi\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Working Temperature\u003c\/strong\u003e: -40 degrees F\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Working Temperature\u003c\/strong\u003e: 200 degrees F\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\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: D.O.T.
