SOC1/8-N1 | 316 Stainless Steel Round-Body Male Stud

The Pneuforce SOC1/8-N1 is a 316 stainless steel round-body male stud for 1/8" tubing and a 1/8 NPT connection. Its push-to-connect interface and FKM (Viton®) seal support maintainable pneumatic and vacuum lines where corrosion resistance and equipment washdown are important.

How This Round-Body Male Stud Works

This round-body male stud connects a push-to-connect tube to a female threaded port in a straight-through arrangement. Its rounded outer profile distinguishes it from other straight-stud body designs.

It fits applications needing a compact straight port connection at equipment, valve banks or machine-mounted sensing devices. Confirm available wrenching and tube-release clearance.

Typical Industrial Applications

  • Compact pneumatic valves and sensors
  • Instrument ports on OEM machinery
  • Machine-mounted air and vacuum manifolds

316 Stainless Steel and FKM Seals

The 316 stainless steel body, release components and gripping collet provide corrosion-resistant construction for washdown and demanding machinery. FKM (Viton®) seals support many air, vacuum and industrial-fluid applications, but compatibility must be assessed for the specific media and temperature.

Pneuforce publishes a family working-pressure figure of up to 420 psi for S-prefix stainless fittings and a fitting temperature range of -20 to 200°C (-4 to 392°F). Those are family specifications, not proof of suitability for every tube, fluid or assembly. Check the tubing, connection method, seal/chemical compatibility and exact product documentation before operation.

Selection & Installation: Choose the actual tubing outside diameter, verify NPT/UNF/BSPT thread form and port gender where applicable, and follow the specified seal and torque requirements. Do not infer potable-water, food-contact, steam or chemical-service certification from stainless steel alone.

Frequently Asked Questions

What type of port does this fitting connect to?

The SOC1/8-N1 has an external 1/8 NPT threaded end for a matching female port and a push-to-connect socket for 1/8" outside-diameter tubing.

Why select a straight stud rather than an elbow?

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.

Is this an NPT or BSPT thread?

This model is listed with a 1/8 NPT connection. NPT and BSPT are not interchangeable based on nominal size alone; verify the port thread before installation.

Is this fitting suitable for vacuum?

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.

Can I use this fitting for drinking water?

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.

What does FKM (Viton®) contribute?

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.

What should I check when installing push-in tubing?

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.
