Value Collection PC71GS-42 Male Swivel Run Tee 1/4in Od

Product Description

The Value Collection PC71GS-42 is a push-to-connect male swivel run tee fitting designed for small-diameter pneumatic and fluid tubing systems. It accepts 1/4-inch OD tubing on the run ports and connects to threaded ports via a 1/8-inch NPT male thread. The body is constructed from polyoxymethylene (POM), a high-stiffness acetal resin that resists moisture, fuels, and mild chemicals. Rated to 150 psi, this fitting is well suited for low-pressure air, water, and compatible fluid lines in light industrial and trade applications. No tools are needed for tube insertion, and the swivel design on the threaded end allows the fitting to be oriented without twisting the tubing run. Licensed HVAC techs, plumbers, and controls technicians commonly use push-to-connect fittings of this type when routing small-bore tubing in tight spaces.

This fitting is used in residential and light commercial applications where 1/4-inch OD tubing must branch off a run while maintaining a threaded port connection. Typical install scenarios include pneumatic control lines, condensate sensing circuits, compressed air distribution manifolds, and low-pressure fluid transfer systems. The male swivel run tee configuration allows inline branching without interrupting the primary tubing path, making it a practical choice in panel builds and equipment connections where rerouting tubing is not practical.

Key Features

• Push-to-connect design for tool-free tube insertion and removal
• Swivel male thread end allows angular positioning without twisting tubing
• POM (polyoxymethylene) body offers good chemical and moisture resistance
• Rated to 150 psi for low-to-medium pressure pneumatic and fluid service
• 1/8-inch NPT male thread for standard port connections
• Compact run tee configuration supports inline branching in space-constrained installs

Compatibility

Designed for use with 1/4-inch OD tubing and equipment or manifolds fitted with 1/8-inch NPT threaded ports. Suitable for pneumatic control, low-pressure fluid, and compressed air applications within the fitting's 150 psi pressure rating.

Installation Notes

Shut off and depressurize the system fully before installing or removing push-to-connect fittings. Verify that tubing OD matches the fitting's rated tube size and that cut ends are clean, burr-free, and square before insertion. Inspect NPT threads and apply appropriate thread sealant per the system fluid type and applicable plumbing or pneumatic codes. Do not exceed the 150 psi rated working pressure.
