Norgren C02881238 Pneufit C Push-in Fitting - 12mm G3/8
Part Number: C02881238
Quick Summary
Norgren Pneufit C push-in fitting C02881238 provides tool-free tube connections for compressed air in automation systems. Engineers frequently face slow assemblies, tool dependencies, and the risk of leaks during line changes. This line often aligns with CE conformity and IP-rated variants for harsh environments, while SIL considerations depend on overall system architecture. By combining a releasable stainless-steel grab-ring, silicone-free U-packing, and corrosion-resistant nickel-plated brass components, this fitting delivers reliable performance and lower lifecycle costs in manufacturing, packaging, and process automation.

Tool-free assembly reduces downtime and speeds line changes, directly lowering maintenance costs on busy production lines. The business impact is clear: faster commissioning, fewer tools to carry in the field, and fewer leak-related interruptions, making it ideal for automation cells and packaging lines that require rapid turnarounds. The 12 mm O/D tubing capability and G3/8 thread support common pneumatic networks, enabling straightforward retrofits and scalable installations across existing systems. The releasable stainless-steel grab-ring secures nylon or polyurethane tubing while enabling quick disconnection for servicing, minimizing downtime during repair or reconfiguration. Silicone-free U-packing with NBR seals delivers immediate, leak-free sealing and reduces contamination risk in sensitive workflows, improving batch purity in process automation. The compact Y-shape footprint and nickel-plated brass body offer robust performance in crowded panels, with corrosion resistance extending service life. This design also suits PA2-0012025C and PA2-0012100 tubing options, ensuring broad compatibility across standard 12 mm and 9 mm tubing families. Overall, the Pneufit C provides a reliable, low-maintenance solution for pneumatic piping in industrial environments, helping teams meet uptime targets and reduce lifecycle costs.

FAQs
Yes. The C02881238 Pneufit C push-in fitting is designed for 12 mm O/D tubing and G3/8 ports. It supports common tubing types such as nylon and polyurethane, with compatible PA2 series tubes (PA2-0012025C, PA2-0012100) listed in the tubing group. Its tool-free grip and Y-shaped port simplify retrofits and panel installations, reducing assembly time and risk of leaks in automated lines.
The fitting operates from 0 to 10 bar and tolerates temperatures from -20 to 60 °C (-4 to 140 °F). This makes it suitable for most standard plant environments, including automation cabinets and packaging lines. The silicone-free U-packing and NBR seals provide reliable sealing without silicone contamination, which helps maintain system cleanliness and consistent performance across changing process conditions.
Best used in automated pneumatic circuits, control cabinets, and packaging equipment where fast field assembly and reliable leaks are critical. The Y-shaped port allows easy branching, and the compact form factor fits crowded panels. Its corrosion-resistant construction and silicone-free seals make it a strong choice for environments requiring clean tubing interfaces and long service life in busy manufacturing lines.
The datasheet indicates materials and operating ranges, with silicone-free NBR seals and a corrosion-resistant design. While the data here does not list specific certifications, Pneufit C fittings are commonly referenced in CE-conformant European standards and IP-rated variants for harsher environments. For definitive certification details (CE, SIL, UL, IP ratings), please consult the official datasheet and supplier documentation.
Tool-free assembly accelerates commissioning and reduces field labor, while the silicone-free U-packing minimizes contamination risk and improves seal integrity over time. The releasable grab-ring enables fast tube replacement without tools, lowering downtime during maintenance. Overall, expect lower maintenance costs, fewer leaks, and higher uptime on automated lines and production cells.
