The SOC3/8-N3 has an external 3/8 NPT threaded end for a matching female port and a push-to-connect socket for 3/8" outside-diameter tubing.

A straight stud keeps the tube aligned with the port axis. An elbow is useful when the tube must turn near a frame, but adds a different fitting envelope and routing geometry.

This model is listed with a 3/8 NPT connection. NPT and BSPT are not interchangeable based on nominal size alone; verify the port thread before installation.

Pneuforce lists this stainless push-to-connect family for compressed air and vacuum. The completed connection must use compatible tubing with a clean, undamaged outside surface, and the system must be checked for leakage at its operating vacuum.

Do not assume potable-water approval. Pneuforce lists these push-in fittings for compressed air, vacuum and non-potable water; drinking-water or food-contact approvals would require separate documented certification.

FKM is the fluoroelastomer sealing material used in this fitting family. It is chosen for resistance to many oils, chemicals and elevated temperatures, but exact media compatibility depends on the fluid concentration, temperature and seal formulation.

Match the tube outside diameter and approved tubing material to the fitting. Cut squarely, remove burrs, insert fully and check retention and leaks before putting the system into service. Confirm the connection can be disconnected safely after depressurizing.
