Norgren C02680606 Pneufit C Tee 6mm M6 - Silicone-Free
Part Number: C02680606
Quick Summary
Pneufit C Push-in fitting is a fast, tool-free adaptor for compressed air lines used in automated equipment and control panels. This design addresses the common industrial pain point of lengthy assembly times and unreliable leak paths that slow line integration. While many fittings struggle with silicone contamination and grab-ring slippage, Pneufit C uses a releasable stainless-steel grab-ring and silicone-free U-packing to minimize downtime and maintenance. CE, SIL, and IP-related considerations are important in many regions, and the industry commonly emphasizes these standards for safety and reliability. For engineers and procurement teams, the combination of quick installation, robust materials, and predictable performance translates into reduced lifecycle costs and smoother production runs.

Feature → Business Impact → Application: The tool-free push-in operation enables immediate connections, cutting assembly time in half versus traditional compression fittings, which reduces machine downtime during line upgrades or panel rebuilds. In practice, this means faster changeovers on assembly lines and improved overall equipment effectiveness (OEE). Feature → Business Impact → Application: A releasable stainless-steel grab-ring provides a secure grip on nylon or polyurethane tubing (85 or 95 durometer) without requiring tools, ensuring consistent seal integrity in vibrating environments such as robotic cells and packaging lines. This reduces leak-related waste and extends service intervals in high-cycle applications. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Nickel-plated brass bodies deliver corrosion and contamination resistance, delivering longer service life in harsh plant environments and enabling longer intervals between maintenance windows in harsh or humid facilities. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Silicone-free U-packing offers immediate quality sealing without silicone contamination, protecting downstream purity-critical systems such as food packaging or clean-room-adjacent machinery while maintaining regulatory compliance. Feature → Business Impact → Application: The 6 mm O/D tube and M6 thread with a tee shape create a compact, versatile junction for branch connections in tight panel spaces, enabling more flexible line routing and easier retrofits in existing lines. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Operating temperature range (-20 to 60 °C) and pressure range (0 to 10 bar) provide reliable performance across typical factory floors and outdoor installations, reducing the risk of performance degradation in temperature or transient pressure spikes. Feature → Business Impact → Application: PBT body and NBR seals (silicone-free) deliver chemical resistance and durability in aggressive air lines, supporting longer service life and predictable sealing behavior in environments with lubricants or particulates. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Compatibility with PA2-0006100 and PA2-0006025C tubing options ensures consistent tubing supply and reduces on-site substitutions, simplifying procurement and inventory management for OEMs and system integrators. Feature → Business Impact → Application: The compact tee design and clearly defined dimensions (Height 14 mm, Length 46 mm, Width 28.3 mm) support precise panel layouts and easier integration into compact automation cabinets, improving overall system ergonomics and reliability.

FAQs
C02680606 is designed for 6 mm outer diameter tubing with an M6 thread. The push-in mechanism eliminates tools, enabling quick, secure connections. For best results, ensure the tube is cut square, deburred, and fully seated to prevent leaks. This setup suits most compact automation panels and small manifolds.
Key specs include a medium of compressed air, operating temperature from -20 to 60 °C, and operating pressure from 0 to 10 bar. The component features a 6 mm O/D tube, M6 port, and a tee configuration, with a PBT body and silicone-free NBR seals to ensure reliable, contaminant-free operation in typical factory environments.
Yes, within its rated limits. The stainless-steel grab-ring and silicone-free U-packing reduce wear and contamination, improving seal integrity in high-cycle environments. The tool-free insertion saves time during frequent line changes or maintenance, while the 0–10 bar range supports many standard pneumatic circuits found in automation lines.
In industrial pneumatics, CE marking, SIL safety considerations, and appropriate IP ratings are common standards to verify depending on your region and application. While this data sheet emphasizes materials and performance, confirm with the supplier or product documentation to ensure your specific installation complies with regional safety and quality requirements.
The tool-free installation reduces commissioning and changeover time, lowering labor costs and downtime. Silicone-free seals help prevent air line contamination, potentially extending filter and regulator service intervals. The combination of corrosion-resistant metals and durable plastics also lowers replacement frequency, delivering predictable maintenance planning and improved asset uptime.
