It accepts 1/8 in. outside-diameter tubing rated for the push-to-connect system.
Is thread sealant required?
The NPTF taper is designed to seal metal-to-metal, but a light wrap of PTFE tape or pipe dope is recommended for air and fluid service.
What is the temperature limit?
This fitting is rated from -10°F to 200°F.
