Keen to connect compressed air lines? Reach for this straight pneumatic fitting from IMI Norgren. It has a 10mm push-in connector on one side that grips PA and PUR tubing gently but firmly using an internal grab ring and collet. Thanks to the tapered R3/8 thread on the other end with pre-applied sealant, creating leak-free joints is a piece of cake. All you'll need is a size 8 and 17 spanners. The adapter's NBR seals also help prevent leaks to give you stable system pressures up to 10 bar.

• Safe to use in harsh environments and industrial applications, as it's suited to ambient and media temperatures between 0°C and +60°C
• Threaded elements made of nickel-plated brass to resist corrosion and media contamination
• Rugged PBT body fends off impacts, making it a safe bet near moving machinery
• Push-in connectors speed up installation as no tools are needed

• Construction industry
• Automotive manufacture
• Pharmaceutical production

As this adapter supports internal as well as external hex adjustment, it's easy to tweak the fit in confined spaces with a simple Allen key.
