Key Features and Benefits
Leak-Proof Performance
Heavy-duty brass construction creates permanent seals that withstand 300 PSI working pressure and resist corrosion from oil-laden compressed air.
Tool-Free Installation
Simple barb design slips into cut hose ends and secures with standard hose clamps, eliminating the need for expensive crimping tools or special equipment.
Universal Compatibility
Works with all 3/8" inner diameter air hoses including rubber, hybrid, and polyurethane varieties from any manufacturer.
| Feature | Benefit |
|---|---|
| Solid Brass Construction | Precision-machined solid brass body provides superior corrosion resistance and dimensional stability compared to plated steel alternatives. The brass material withstands oil-laden compressed air environments and maintains sealing integrity through temperature cycles. This construction ensures long-term reliability in harsh shop conditions where cheaper fittings fail due to corrosion or material degradation. |
| 1/4" Barb Connection | Engineered barb diameter creates secure mechanical connection with 3/8" ID air hoses without requiring special tools or crimping equipment. The barb design includes retention grooves that prevent hose slippage under pressure while allowing standard clamp installation. This connection method provides field-repairable joints that maintain original hose flexibility and performance characteristics. |
| 300 PSI Pressure Rating | Tested to handle three hundred PSI working pressure with safety margin for demanding pneumatic applications including impact tools, spray equipment, and high-volume air systems. The pressure rating exceeds most shop compressor outputs while maintaining seal integrity under pressure spikes. This specification ensures reliable operation with professional pneumatic tools without performance limitations. |
| 1/4" Male NPT Threading | Standard quarter-inch male NPT threads provide universal compatibility with quick-connect couplers, air tool fittings, and pneumatic equipment connections. The precision threading ensures leak-free assembly without thread sealant in most applications. This standard sizing allows direct integration with existing air system components without adapters or modifications. |
| 3/8" ID Hose Compatibility | Specifically designed for three-eighths inch inner diameter air hoses which are the most common size in automotive and industrial applications. Compatible with rubber, hybrid, polyurethane, and specialty air hoses from all manufacturers. This universal compatibility eliminates guesswork and ensures proper fit regardless of original hose brand or construction type. |
