Push-to-Connect Tube Fittings for Air
- Temperature Range: 0° to 170° F, except polybutylene plastic fittings are 32° to 140° F
- Tubing: Use with firm (Durometer 95A-45D) polyethylene plastic or polyurethane rubber
- Specifications Met: ISO 14743, except cartridges and polybutylene plastic fittings
Insert tubing into these fittings and an internal gripping ring and O-ring hold the tubing tight. They are also known as instant fittings. To disconnect, push on the release ring and pull the tubing out of the fitting. Fittings have good corrosion resistance. Use them in low-pressure applications.
Identification rings (sold separately) snap over the release ring so you can color-code your lines.
Clips (sold separately) align and organize your tubing and fittings.

Fittings with tube stem insert into the push-to-connect end of another fitting in place of a length of tubing.
Nickel-Plated Brass Push-to-Connect Tube Fittings for Air
- For Use With: Air, Lubricated Air
- Temperature Range: 0° to 140° F
- Tubing: Fittings with Release Ring and Fittings with no Release Type: Use with firm or hard (Durometer 95A-60D) nylon plastic, polyethylene plastic or polyurethane rubber
Fittings with Release Sleeve: Use with firm or hard (Durometer 95A-60D) polyethylene plastic or polyurethane rubber
Made of nickel-plated brass, these fittings have better corrosion resistance than unplated brass fittings. Also known as instant fittings, they connect to tubing with a push, and an internal gripping ring and O-ring hold the tubing tight. To disconnect, push on the release ring or sleeve and pull the tubing out of the fitting.
Fittings with release sleeve are easier to disconnect than fittings with a release ring because they are seamless and won't collect dirt and debris.

Push-to-Connect Fittings for Food and Beverage
- Temperature Range: 35° to 140° F
- Tubing: See table
- Specifications Met: See table
Also known as instant fittings, these connect to tubing with a push, and an internal gripping ring and O-ring hold the tubing tight. To disconnect fittings with a release ring, push on the release ring and pull the tubing out of the fitting.
Acetal fittings resist moisture, so they won’t soften and lose strength in humid environments. They meet NSF/ANSI 51 for safe use with food and NSF/ANSI 61 for safe use with drinking water.
Black fittings have excellent UV resistance and are suitable for outdoor environments.

PVDF fittings offer excellent chemical resistance, and can be used with hydrochloric acid and nitric acid. They withstand temperatures up to 270° F, higher than other push-to-connect fittings for chemicals. They are produced in a clean room and are bagged individually to prevent dirt and moisture from contaminating the inside. PVDF is also known as Kynar.
