Norgren C02880838 Pneufit C Push-in Fitting - G3/8
Part Number: C02880838
Quick Summary
The Norgren Pneufit C Push-in Fitting is a tool-free adaptor designed to simplify compressed air connections in harsh, fast-paced environments. By eliminating screws and using a releasable stainless-steel grab-ring, it reduces assembly time and minimizes leak paths. This addresses common pain points like tool dependency, tube misalignment, and contamination during field retrofits. While the datasheet emphasizes durable nickel-plated brass and silicone-free U-packing for long life, the plastic PBT body contributes corrosion resistance and consistent sealing across cycles. In practice, engineers gain reliable performance with fewer maintenance stops, while procurement benefits from standardized parts and lower total cost of ownership. The product supports 8 mm O.D. tubing and G3/8 threads, aligning with core automation applications.

Push-in, tool-free assembly is a core feature of Pneufit C fittings, slicing installation time and eliminating tool dependency. The result is faster changeovers and less downtime on packaging lines or robotic cells, where space is tight and specialists are scarce. The releasable stainless-steel grab-ring provides a secure grip on nylon or polyurethane tubes, enabling quick disconnections for maintenance or reconfiguration without risk of tube slippage. Nickel-plated brass components deliver corrosion resistance and contamination protection, extending service life in demanding environments and reducing replacement costs. Silicone-free U-packing delivers immediate quality sealing without silicone-related contamination, preserving air purity for sensitive pneumatic operations. The 8 mm O.D. tubing compatibility and G3/8 thread standardize connections across multiple modules, simplifying stocking and field retrofits. A PBT body further enhances chemical resistance and lightweight handling, improving installation ergonomics on crowded panels. Overall, these features translate to measurable efficiency gains, improved reliability, and lower total cost of ownership in automated lines and packaging equipment.

FAQs
Installation is tool-free: insert the 8mm O.D. tube into the push-in port, ensure a secure seating with the stainless-steel grab-ring, and rotate the Y-branch to the desired orientation. The silicone-free U-packing immediately seals once seated, reducing potential leak paths. For field retrofits, keep a small set of common-length tubes and confirm the G3/8 thread compatibility on neighboring modules to minimize reseating.
Operating temperature ranges from -20 to 60 °C (-4 to 140 °F) and operating pressure from 0 to 10 bar (0 to 145 psi). These limits define suitability for typical factory compressed air systems and robotic actuation without additional cooling or pressure controls, supporting reliable performance across production environments.
Yes. The Y-shaped swivel design provides flexible routing in tight spaces, while the push-in connection and 8 mm O.D. tubing support compact, rapid assembly. Its corrosion-resistant nickel-plated brass and silicone-free sealing system are well-suited for high-cycle robotic gripper networks and packaging conveyors where downtime minimization is critical.
The provided data does not list specific certifications such as CE, SIL, or IP ratings for this exact part. For regulatory compliance in your region, refer to the official datasheet or contact the manufacturer. In practice, Pneufit C fittings are designed to meet common pneumatic industry expectations, but always verify with the datasheet before deployment in safety-critical applications.
The fast, tool-free connections reduce installation and changeover times, lowering labor costs and downtime. Silicone-free sealing helps maintain air purity, minimizing contamination-related waste. The durable materials (PBT body, nickel-plated brass, NBR seals) offer long life in demanding environments, reducing replacement frequency and supporting a favorable total cost of ownership on high-mix, low-volume production lines.
