Nylon

Nylon push-to-connect tube fittings help assemble and service low-pressure tubing systems using compatible plastic or soft-metal tubing. Common commercial uses include routing tubing around corners, joining tube runs inline, reducing between tube outside diameters, creating branch connections, and connecting tubing to compatible male or female NPT ports.

Use Cases

Build low-pressure tubing connections

Use these fittings for compatible low-pressure systems with plastic or soft-metal tubing. Available configurations support direct tube joining, directional changes, tube-size reduction, branching, and transitions to threaded ports.

How to Choose

Match each connection point

Start with the tubing outside diameter at every push-to-connect end. For adapters, also match the NPT size and confirm whether the system requires a male or female threaded end.

Applications

Route, join, reduce, or branch tubing

Choose elbows for right-angle routing, straight connectors for inline tube joining, reducers for different tube diameters, tees for branch layouts, and straight or elbow adapters for tubing-to-NPT connections.

Planning Guide

Plan the right fit before choosing

Plan the connection

Identify the layout your tubing run requires

Fitting shape determines how the tube run is arranged. The available nylon push-to-connect options cover direct inline connections, right-angle turns, branch points, and transitions between tubing and threaded connections.

  • Select a straight tube connector to join equal-size tubing inline.
  • Use a 90-degree elbow to change the direction of a tubing run.
  • Choose a tee or tee adapter for a branch connection.
  • Select a straight reducer or tee reducer when the connected tube outside diameters differ.
Verify sizes and threads

Check tube OD first, then NPT details

The product range includes tube outside diameters in metric and inch sizes. Threaded adapters are identified by their tube OD, NPT size, and male or female thread type.

  • Metric tube sizes represented include 6 mm, 8 mm, 10 mm, and 12 mm OD.
  • Inch tube sizes represented include 5/32 in., 1/4 in., 3/8 in., and 1/2 in. OD.
  • Examples of threaded ends include 1/4 in., 3/8 in., and 1/2 in. NPT.
  • Match male NPT fittings to compatible female NPT ports, and female NPT fittings to compatible male threaded connections.
Consider fitting operation

Use compatible tubing in low-pressure applications

These nylon fittings use push-to-connect tube ends, allowing tubing to slide into the fitting. Internal grasping or gripping rings help hold the inserted tubing in place. The summarized products are intended for low-pressure applications using plastic or soft-metal tubing.

  • Confirm the tubing material is plastic or soft metal.
  • Confirm the application is low pressure.
  • Match the tube OD to the fitting's specified push-to-connect port.
  • Review minimum order requirements on applicable items.
FAQ

Common questions before buying

What tubing is represented for these nylon fittings?

The summarized fittings are intended for compatible plastic or soft-metal tubing in low-pressure applications.

What does push-to-connect mean in this selection?

The tubing slides into the fitting for connection, while an internal grasping or gripping ring helps retain the inserted tubing.

Which fitting should I use to turn a tubing run?

Choose a 90-degree elbow for a right-angle change in direction. Elbow adapters also connect tubing to a compatible threaded port.

How do I select a threaded adapter?

Match the tubing outside diameter, NPT size, and required thread gender. The summarized options include male and female NPT connections.
