Norgren D242C0428 Pneufit D Acetal Fitting - FDA/NSF
Part Number: D242C0428
Quick Summary
Pneufit D Acetal push-in fitting provides quick, secure tube connections for food-grade fluid systems. Crafting leak-free joints in high-purity lines is challenging, often causing downtime and maintenance headaches. FDA-approved acetal material, NSF certified to 51 and 61, and MOCA-certified endorsements ensure regulatory compliance for beverage, water, medical, and analytical equipment. The design supports 1/4\" NPT ports and straight female adaptors, enabling simplified installation, reduced part counts, and greater reliability in demanding environments. For engineers and procurement teams, this combination delivers consistent performance, traceability, and a clear path to compliant, leak-tight piping in factory floors and laboratories. This family offers broad tubing compatibility with nylon, polyurethane, and polyethylene lines through releasable grab-rings.

Feature: Acetal body material provides robust chemical compatibility for fluid handling in sensitive lines, supporting cleanability and repeatable performance under demanding cycles. Impact: FDA-approved acetal ensures safe contact and long service life, reducing contamination risk, rework, and field failures in critical systems. Application: Classic fit for beverage, water, medical, and analytical equipment where cleanability, process hygiene, and regulatory alignment matter. Feature: Certifications include NSF 51 and 61 alongside MOCA and EC 1935/2004 compliance, enabling traceable material performance. Impact: Strengthens regulatory posture, supports audits, and minimizes qualification cycles for regulated industries, lowering total cost of ownership. Application: Particularly valuable in food processing, beverage distribution, water treatment, pharmaceutical support equipment, and lab instrumentation where standards prevail. Feature: Operating range spans -20 to 98 °C and -14.5 to 290 psi, with 1/4\" NPT porting and 1/4\" NPTF threading for versatile integration. Impact: Delivers reliable performance in hot and cold cycles, reducing temperature-related failures, leakage risk, and maintenance downtime. Application: Suitable for compressed air and liquid lines across industrial plants, laboratories, cleaning systems, and packaging lines where reliability matters. Feature: Straight female adaptor design with 1/4\" NPT port and 1/4\" NPTF thread simplifies assembly and field configuration. Impact: Reduces leak paths and field labor, enabling faster line changes and predictable performance in high-demand production lines. Application: Ideal for inline feeds and panel-mounted configurations in sanitary, pharmaceutical, food-processing, and analytical systems. Feature: Releasable stainless-steel grab-ring grips nylon, polyurethane, or polyethylene tubing securely, with a positive grab for vibration resistance. Impact: Enables tool-free, secure connections with quick release for maintenance, reconfiguration, and downtime reduction. Application: Works with color-coded PE tubing options (natural, red, blue, black, white) for clear identification in complex lines across facilities. Feature: Tubing options include 100 m lengths of PE2-0054100 through PE2-0954100, offering natural and color-coded choices for traceability. Impact: Inventory standardization and reduced risk of mis-matched parts translate into faster onboarding and fewer rejects. Application: Ideal for general-purpose fluid handling in beverage, water, medical, and analytical systems.

FAQs
When installing the D242C0428, ensure clean, deburred tubing ends and use the 1/4" NPTF thread with proper torque to avoid cross-threading. The releasable grab-ring design simplifies seating and removal, while EPDM seals provide reliable leak resistance across typical compressed air and liquid lines. Verify compatible tubing materials (nylon, PU, PE) for best long-term performance.
The D242C0428 carries FDA-approved acetal material, NSF 51 & 61 certifications, MOCA certification, and EC 1935/2004 compliance. These credentials support regulatory audits, allow use in food contact and pharmaceutical-adjacent environments, and help ensure traceability and quality control across your supply chain.
Yes. The FDA-approved acetal body, NSF-certified seals, and MOCA and EC compliance make the D242C0428 well-suited for food-grade lines, beverage systems, water handling, and medical/analytical equipment where hygienic standards and material safety are critical.
The releasable stainless-steel grab-ring allows tool-free assembly and quick release, reducing maintenance time and downtime. It also improves vibration resistance and simplifies reconfiguration when tubing changes are required in dynamic process lines.
D242C0428 is compatible with Nylon, PU, and PE tubing, including color-coded PE options (natural, red, blue, black, white) in 100 m lengths. This aids identification and traceability, minimizing mix-ups during installation and field service while enabling flexible system design.
