Value Collection -10744-2 Push-to-connect Tube Fitting

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION -10744-2 is a push-to-connect tube fitting configured in a tube-to-male-to-tube-to-male NPTF arrangement. It accepts tubing with a 1/8 inch outside diameter and threads into a 1/16-27 NPTF port. The National Pipe Taper Fuel thread form creates a pressure-tight mechanical seal without additional sealant, though thread sealant is commonly used in field applications. This fitting is suited for plumbing technicians, HVAC mechanics, and fluid-system assemblers working on low-pressure pneumatic or hydraulic lines where a reliable push-to-connect entry point and a male NPTF exit are both required in a single body.

This fitting is appropriate for use in compact fluid or pneumatic tubing runs where space constraints favor push-to-connect technology over traditional compression or flare fittings. The small 1/8 inch OD tube size makes it common in instrumentation lines, pilot lines, and control-circuit tubing found in residential and light commercial HVAC equipment, as well as general plumbing and pneumatic panel assemblies. Sold in a package quantity of 10, it is practical for both single repairs and small-batch assembly work.

Key Features

• Push-to-connect tube entry allows tool-free tube insertion and secure retention
• 1/16-27 NPTF thread provides a pressure-tight seal at the male port
• 1/8 inch OD tube compatibility suits small-diameter instrumentation and control lines
• Dual inline connection path: tube inlet, male NPTF outlet, tube inlet
• Package quantity of 10 supports small-batch assembly or stocking for service calls

Compatibility

Designed for use with 1/8 inch OD tubing and 1/16-27 NPTF threaded ports in pneumatic, instrumentation, or fluid-control tubing systems. Verify thread form and tube OD at the installation point before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified plumbing or HVAC technician familiar with push-to-connect fitting systems. Depressurize and drain the line before removing or installing any fitting. Ensure the tubing end is cut square and deburred before inserting into the push-to-connect port to prevent leaks and fitting damage. NPTF threads are self-sealing by design, but thread sealant tape or compound may be applied per job specifications and local code requirements.
