Flexible Push-In Connections for Universal-Thread Applications
Universal-thread push-to-connect fittings are designed to provide quick pneumatic tube connections where a compact threaded fitting is required. They connect common pneumatic tubing such as polyurethane and nylon to control valves, cylinders and associated compressed air equipment.
The one-touch tube connection makes installation and maintenance straightforward, while the threaded end provides a practical interface to compatible machine ports. Selection should always be based on the exact thread, tube size and operating conditions of the application.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a universal-thread push-to-connect fitting?
It is a push-in pneumatic fitting intended to provide a convenient threaded connection between compatible tubing and pneumatic equipment.
What tubing is commonly used?
The source description identifies polyurethane and nylon as common pneumatic tubing materials.
What is the listed working pressure?
The source specification lists 0–150 psi(g) / 10 bar(g).
Can these fittings be used for vacuum?
The source specification lists vacuum duty to 29.5 inHg / 14 mbar(a).
What temperature ranges are listed?
Standard fittings are listed at 32–140°F / 0–60°C, with all-metal versions listed from -40–248°F / -40–120°C.
Can the tube be removed for maintenance?
Yes. The push-in side is designed for tube disconnection and reconnection when the system is safely depressurized.
Where are these fittings used?
They are used on pneumatic valves, cylinders, manifolds, air preparation units and general automation machinery.
How do I choose the correct universal-thread fitting?
Confirm the exact thread compatibility, tube size, fitting shape, pressure and temperature before ordering.
