Norgren C02681238 Pneufit C Push-in Fitting - 12mm G3/8
Part Number: C02681238
Quick Summary
Pneufit C push-in fittings is a tool-free pneumatic connector family designed for rapid, reliable assembly in automation environments. Key specs include 12 mm port size and G3/8 thread for compact piping. What applications benefit most are automated machinery, robotics, and packaging lines where space is tight. Why choose Pneufit C? It delivers quick installation, leak-proof sealing, and durable materials. How does it perform under demanding conditions? The releasable grab-ring grips nylon or polyurethane tubes, while silicone-free U-packing provides immediate sealing. In practice, this reduces downtime, extends service life, and lowers maintenance costs in compressed-air systems. Designed for mid-volume automation and custom piping layouts, it supports reliable air delivery under pressure.

FAQs
Installation is straightforward with the 12 mm port and G3/8 thread designed for standard airlines. The releasable stainless-steel grab-ring accommodates nylon or polyurethane tubes and the tool-free push-in mechanism speeds setup, reducing downtime. Use with 12 mm O/D tubing, 85 or 95 durometer, and rely on silicone-free U-packing for immediate, reliable sealing.
By delivering fast tool-free assembly and a secure silicone-free seal, the fitting reduces leak paths and assembly time in control panels and automation equipment. The nickel-plated brass body resists corrosion, while the PBT housing maintains dimensional stability under temperature swings up to 60 C. With 0–10 bar operating pressure, it supports reliable air delivery in compact layouts.
Yes, the Pneufit C design uses a corrosion-resistant body and silicone-free seals suitable for challenging environments. The operating range is -20 to 60 C and 0–10 bar, with a compact 12 mm port that fits tight spaces. For regulated industries, verify customer-specific certifications such as CE or IP ratings and ensure the part's approval aligns with your site requirements.
The releasable stainless-steel grab-ring simplifies tubing changes and maintenance. It securely grips nylon or polyurethane tubing and allows quick release without tools, reducing downtime during routine inspections or tube replacements. Combined with silicone-free U-packing, it maintains a reliable seal across cycles and temperatures, supporting easy field service in busy production lines.
Implementing Pneufit C fittings can lower lifecycle costs by reducing installation time, leak-related losses, and replacement cycles. The durable PBT body and corrosion-resistant components extend service life in demanding plants, while tool-free assembly minimizes skilled labor requirements. In practice, sites report faster line changeovers and lower maintenance labor, contributing to a favorable return on investment over time.
