Norgren C02680838 Pneufit C Push-in Fitting - 8mm/G3/8
Part Number: C02680838
Quick Summary
Norgren Pneufit C push-in fittings provide fast, tool-free connections for compressed air in automation and packaging environments. This design reduces installation time and the risk of leaks by delivering reliable seals with silicone-free U-packing. While the data set does not specify SIL, CE, or IP ratings, the rugged construction uses a nickel-plated brass body and a releasable stainless-steel grab-ring for durable performance in harsh environments. The combination of 8mm port size, G3/8 threading, and a compact tee shape supports flexible layouts, short cycle times, and scalable pipings. For engineers and procurement teams, this means predictable maintenance, lower total cost of ownership, and safer, cleaner operation in demanding systems.

Feature → Business Impact → Application: The Pneufit C has a reusable, releasable stainless-steel grab-ring that grips nylon or polyurethane tubing (85 or 95 durometer), enabling tool-free assembly and immediate, reliable sealing. This reduces assembly time on production lines and minimizes downtime during maintenance; ideal for high-volume automotive or packaging equipment where quick field servicing is critical. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Nickel-plated brass components provide corrosion resistance and extended life in moisture-prone environments, delivering increased reliability and lower replacement costs over time. Use this in conveyor systems or pneumatic pick-and-place setups where exposure to humidity or incidental splashes is common. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Silicone-free U-packing ensures compatibility with silicone-sensitive systems and reduces contamination risk, supporting quality-control requirements in medical device manufacturing and clean-room grade automation. Feature → Business Impact → Application: PBT body and compact Tee shape support compact manifolds and flexible routing in tight spaces, enabling more efficient cabinet layouts and reducing material waste. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Medium is compressed air with operating temperatures from -20 to 60 °C and operating pressure up to 10 bar, offering predictable performance across factory floors, robotics cells, and process lines. Feature → Business Impact → Application: 8mm O/D tube with 8mm port size and G3/8 thread provides broad compatibility with common tubing and standard fittings, simplifying parts management and supplier sourcing for system integrators and OEMs. Feature → Business Impact → Application: The product’s dimensions (56 mm length, 34.4 mm width, 23 mm height) and lightweight design (0.027 kg) enable easy integration into compact manifolds and multi-branch circuits without compromising performance. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Tubing options PA2-0008025C and PA2-0008100 (8mm/6mm, natural nylon polyamide) offer scalable tubing solutions for long runs or flexible layouts in automated pick-and-place machines and vending/dispensing lines. The combined effect is faster installation, lower leak rates, and improved total cost of ownership across industrial pneumatic systems.

FAQs
The Pneufit C swivel side tee accepts 8 mm O/D tubing and uses a G3/8 thread, aligning with common 8 mm/6 mm nylon or polyurethane tubes. This compatibility supports rapid field assembly and simplifies parts management for system integrators and maintenance teams, reducing downtime during maintenance or retrofit projects.
Silicone-free NBR seals minimize contamination risk in sensitive pneumatic systems and reduce post-installation cleaning requirements. This improves downstream process cleanliness, particularly in environments with strict contamination controls, while maintaining immediate quality sealing and consistent leak-proof performance.
Yes, thanks to the stainless-steel grab-ring and nickel-plated brass components, which provide robust grip and corrosion resistance. The design supports stable performance in humid or damp environments and under vibration, common in automation cells, packaging lines, and robotics fixtures.
The fitting is rated for operating temperatures from -20 to 60 °C and pressures from 0 to 10 bar. This makes it suitable for a wide range of factory environments, from cold storage to elevated-temperature machinery, ensuring dependable operation without over-designing the system.
Tool-free assembly reduces installation time and maintenance intervals, lowering labor costs. The silicone-free seals and corrosion-resistant materials extend service life and minimize replacement frequency, delivering lower total cost of ownership across automated lines, conveyors, and robotic work cells.
