IMI Norgren M00400600 Push-in Fitting - 6mm Union Elbow
Part Number: M00400600
Quick Summary
Pneufit M push-in fittings provide fast, tool-free connections for compressed air in compact automation layouts, enabling quick field upgrades. In tight installations, space constraints and time-consuming assembly can hinder routine maintenance and disrupt production schedules. Typical industry certifications for pneumatic fittings include CE compliance; SIL ratings for safety in control systems; and IP ratings that govern ingress protection in harsh environments. With corrosion-resistant nickel-plated brass, a compact form factor, and pre-applied thread sealant on taper threads, these fittings promise reliable, leak-free operation and rapid, repeatable installation. This combination minimizes downtime, simplifies spare parts management, and supports lean manufacturing initiatives by delivering predictable performance across scale-up projects.

The Pneufit M push-in design delivers tool-free connections for rapid assembly in crowded control panels. This reduces install time and line downtime, enabling quicker line changes in high-mix production environments. Engineered for consistency, it offers reliable sealing with minimal training, supporting predictable pneumatic performance across manufacturing cells. The 6 mm port size with an elbow configuration optimizes routing in restricted spaces, reducing tube length and airflow turbulence for improved system efficiency. In practice, this means lower pressure drop and less heat generation, which translates to longer actuator life and higher throughput in packaging lines and robotics cells. A releasable stainless-steel grab ring securely grips nylon or polyurethane tubing (85 or 95 durometer), enabling tool-free tubing replacements during maintenance without compromising seal integrity. This supports rapid service in busy production lines and reduces maintenance-induced downtime. Nickel-plated brass bodies provide corrosion and contamination resistance, extending service life in humid, dusty, or wash-down environments commonly found on factory floors. Pairing with nitrile seals ensures dependable performance over a wide temperature and pressure range, reducing risk during start-up and in seasonal operating cycles. Pre-applied thread sealant on taper threads guarantees immediate, high-integrity sealing, eliminating curing time and rework. Internal and external hex features on straight fittings simplify tightening and torque control during installation, while silicone-free U-packing minimizes contamination risks in sensitive processes. Mounting holes on all union fittings support secure panel mounting and streamlined integration into existing networks. The combination of a compact, light design and full Pneufit M compatibility enables scalable configurations and cohesive system architecture. This approach has proven reliable across multiple OEM lines during rapid ramp-ups. Overall, the feature set reduces total cost of ownership by shortening installation, lowering downtime, and extending service life, delivering measurable ROI for automation projects.

FAQs
The M00400600 accepts 6 mm O/D tubing, with PA2-0006100 polyamide tubing (natural) recommended for 6 mm/4 mm configurations. This tubing is supplied in 100 m reels and provides reliable flow with the Pneufit M seal system. For field replacements, ensure the tube material matches nitrile-compatible elastomeric seals and maintains proper durometer compatibility for a tight, leak-free fit.
Key factors include the tool-free push-in design, pre-applied sealant on taper threads, and a silicone-free U-packing system. The internal/external hex geometry on straight fittings simplifies tightening, while the stainless-steel grab ring allows easy tubing changes without tools. Together, these features reduce installation time, minimize leak potential, and improve long-term reliability in automated lines.
Yes, within its operating range. The component uses a PBT body with nitrile seals and nickel-plated brass components for corrosion resistance. It handles temperatures from −20 to 60 °C and pressures from 0 to 10 bar, making it suitable for many workshop and factory floor environments. Verify IP-related or SIL certifications in the datasheet for your specific regulatory needs.
Look for CE conformity documentation and any SIL or IP-related ratings specified in the official datasheet. The product downloads include a CAD resource and a detailed Datasheet PDF where exact certifications, test standards, and compatibility with your risk assessment are described. Always cross-check these certifications against your regional requirements before deployment.
The nickel-plated brass bodies and corrosion-resistant construction extend service life in challenging environments, reducing replacement frequency and maintenance costs. The tool-free installation, pre-sealed joints, and quick tubing changes shorten downtime during commissioning and routine servicing, delivering faster project delivery and lower total cost of ownership across automation and packaging lines.
