Want to speed through building a compressed air system? Reach for this pneumatic fitting from IMI Norgren. You can use it to connect an 8mm tube to a G1/4 threaded connector, so it unites pipework with your devices. As it can handle a maximum operating pressure of 18 bar, the unit's cut out for heavy-duty industrial applications. The nickel-plated brass body is hard-wearing and corrosion-resistant, so you can trust it to go the distance in harsh and damp settings.

• Single inlet and single outlet configuration for straightforward connections
• Wide operating temperature range between -20°C and +80°C
• Silicone-free O-ring keeps contaminants out to ensure smooth system flow
• Internal hexagon design for simple adjustments with an Allen key

• Industrial automation equipment
• Automotive workshops
• Plant machinery

All you need to do is take a length of tube with a straight-cut and deburred end, and push it into the fitting. Positive anchorage immediately secures the pipe in place. The threaded end of the fitting is male-gendered, so you can just screw it into a corresponding female-threaded socket.
