Nickel-Plated Brass Push-to-Connect Fittings for Harsh Industrial Environments
Pneuforce B Series nickel-plated brass push-to-connect fittings are designed for demanding pneumatic applications where standard composite push-in fittings may not provide the required durability or temperature resistance. Manufactured with an all-metal brass body and nickel-plated finish, these fittings deliver outstanding mechanical strength, corrosion resistance and long service life in harsh industrial environments.
Suitable for both compressed air and vacuum service, the B Series operates in temperatures from -40°C (-40°F) to +120°C (+248°F). Like every Pneuforce push-to-connect fitting, the all-metal B Series delivers the unmistakable Click-Click feel and sound during tube removal. This positive tactile feedback confirms the tubing has been fully released, giving installers confidence that every connection is not only secure but knowing that tuning has been released by the fitting when disconnected. Available for both metric and inch tubing, the B Series is offered with NPT, BSPP, BSPT, metric and universal thread options to suit virtually any pneumatic installation.

Why Choose Metal Push-to-Connect Fittings?
While composite push-in fittings are suitable for many general-purpose pneumatic applications, all-metal fittings provide greater durability in demanding environments involving elevated temperatures, mechanical abuse, vibration and exposure to oils or industrial contaminants.
The nickel-plated brass construction offers improved corrosion resistance while maintaining the convenience of one-touch tubing installation and removal.
The Pneuforce Click-Click Tube Release
Unlike many competing push-to-connect fittings that provide little or no feedback during tube removal, Pneuforce fittings are engineered to produce the distinctive Click-Click feel and sound when the stainless steel gripping mechanism releases.
This positive tactile and audible feedback helps maintenance technicians know the tube grip has released, making tube removal clearer, more controlled and more confidence-inspiring during machine assembly, service and troubleshooting.
Universal Thread Technology
Selected B Series fittings are available with Pneuforce Universal Tri Thread technology, allowing a single fitting to seal in multiple female thread types including NPT, NPSF, BSPP (G thread), BSPT (R thread) and ISO thread standards. This reduces inventory requirements while providing outstanding installation flexibility for machine builders and maintenance departments.

Choosing the Correct Metal Push-In Fitting
Choose the fitting based on tubing size, thread type, operating pressure, temperature and environmental conditions. Nickel-plated brass fittings are recommended where durability, corrosion resistance and extended service life are important.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are nickel-plated brass push-to-connect fittings?
They are all-metal pneumatic tube fittings designed for demanding applications requiring greater durability, temperature resistance and corrosion protection than standard composite fittings.
Why choose metal push-in fittings instead of composite fittings?
Metal fittings offer greater strength, improved resistance to impact and vibration, wider operating temperatures and better long-term durability in harsh industrial environments.
Why do Pneuforce push-to-connect fittings make a Click-Click sound?
The Click-Click feel and sound occurs as the tubing passes through the stainless steel gripping mechanism before seating firmly against the internal tube stop. This positive tactile feedback helps confirm the tube has been fully inserted, giving installers greater confidence than fittings that provide little or no installation feedback.
What temperature range do these fittings support?
The B Series operates from -40°C (-40°F) to +120°C (+248°F), making them suitable for both low and high temperature applications.
Can these fittings be used with vacuum?
Yes. They are suitable for both compressed air and vacuum service, with operating capability from full vacuum (29 inHg) to 12 bar (176 PSI).
What thread types are available?
Pneuforce offers NPT, BSPP, BSPT, metric and Universal Tri Thread configurations for maximum application flexibility.
What is a Universal Tri Thread fitting?
Universal Tri Thread fittings are designed to seal in multiple female thread standards, reducing inventory while simplifying machine design, installation and maintenance.
What tubing can these fittings be used with?
They are available for both metric and inch-size pneumatic tubing, including polyurethane and nylon tubing.
Where are all-metal push-to-connect fittings commonly used?
They are widely used in industrial automation, robotics, packaging equipment, high-temperature pneumatic systems, vacuum systems and heavy industrial machinery.
