Norgren C0A701238 Push-in Banjo Fitting - 12mm, G3/8

Push-in design enables tool-free connections, dramatically reducing assembly time on production lines and minimizing operator training. The 12 mm O/D tube is secured by a releasable stainless-steel grab-ring, while the silicone-free U-packing delivers immediate quality seals without dry-run cycles. In practice, engineers report a 40–60% faster manifold installation when integrating Pneufit C fittings into compact layouts. The lack of tools also reduces risk of cross-threading and provides consistent results across multiple shifts, improving first-pass quality and throughput. Materials selection reinforces durability in tough environments: a PBT body resists chemical exposure while nickel-plated brass components withstand corrosion and contamination. The silicone-free NBR seals prevent silicone migration into the compressed-air stream, supporting clean-air requirements in sensitive equipment. Together, these features translate to longer service life, fewer part replacements, and lower maintenance costs over the system lifecycle. Operating range and dimensional fit are aligned with standard industrial pneumatics: -20 to 60 °C and 0 to 10 bar (0 to 145 psi) cover most factory conditions. The G3/8 thread and 12 mm tube diameter enable straightforward integration with common manifolds and robotics fixtures. The banjo shape helps routing in tight spaces, while the 41 × 47 × 32.5 mm envelope keeps packages compact. Lightweight design reduces the load on mounting brackets, improving vibration tolerance in automated lines. Tube compatibility extends supply options: PA2-0012025C and PA2-0012100 polyamide tubes in 12 mm/9 mm variants fit the Pneufit C adaptors for rapid field changes. This compatibility supports standardized panels and reduces inventory complexity across multi-vendor plants. Quick-release tubing and robust grip minimize the risk of tube pull-out under vibration, a common concern in high-cycle machines. Applications span pneumatic manifolds, robotics gripper networks, and inline branching in air-logic circuits. The combination of tool-free assembly, durable materials, and reliable sealing lowers total cost of ownership by reducing downtime, leaks, and maintenance intervals. For OEMs focusing on uptime and predictable performance, the C0A701238 offers a proven, scalable solution that can grow with your modular automation strategy.
