Threaded Push-In Connections for Pneumatic Components and Tubing
Push-to-connect threaded fittings combine a pipe thread on one end with a one-touch pneumatic tube connection on the other. They are commonly used to connect tubing directly to valves, cylinders, manifolds, regulators and other pneumatic components.
These fittings simplify machine assembly by eliminating separate tube compression hardware. PneumaticHub supplies threaded push-in fittings in common straight and angled configurations for compact industrial pneumatic installations.

- Male threaded straight connectors
- Male elbow connectors
- Female threaded adapters
- Swivel-style elbows on applicable models
- Reducer and specialty adapter styles
Why Use Threaded Push-to-Connect Fittings?
- They provide a compact transition from threaded pneumatic ports to flexible tube, reducing assembly time and the number of separate connection components.
- Correct thread type and tube outside diameter must both be matched carefully. Pipe thread standards that appear similar may not be interchangeable.
Common Applications
- Pneumatic valves
- Air cylinders
- FRL components
- Valve manifolds
- Pressure switches
- Machine automation
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a threaded push-to-connect fitting?
It combines a threaded pipe connection with a push-in pneumatic tube connection in one fitting.
Where are threaded push fittings used?
They are commonly installed in pneumatic valves, cylinders, regulators, manifolds and other threaded air ports.
How do I choose the thread type?
Identify the equipment port standard, such as NPT, BSPP or BSPT, and select a matching fitting.
How do I choose the tube size?
Use the tubing outside diameter, not the inside diameter, to match the push-to-connect end.
Do threaded fittings need sealant?
Tapered pipe threads commonly need appropriate thread sealant; parallel threads may use a gasket or sealing feature depending on design.
Can the tube side be disconnected?
Yes. Depress the release collet and pull the tube straight out.
Why are swivel elbows useful?
They allow the tube direction to be positioned after the threaded fitting is installed on applicable designs.
