3M 7100017457 Twist Lock Socket 1/2 in 3/8 in Fpt Schrader

Product Description

The 3M 7100017457 is a twist lock socket fitting designed for low-pressure supplied air applications. Constructed with steel and brass, this fitting combines durability with reliable sealing performance. It features a 1/2-inch body size and a 3/8-inch female pipe thread (FPT) connection with a Schrader-style valve interface. The socket is used to connect supplied air hose assemblies in breathing air systems, making it a component typically handled by safety equipment technicians and industrial hygiene professionals during respiratory protection system maintenance.

This fitting is suited for low-pressure supplied air hose systems in industrial and occupational safety environments. It is designed to mate with supplied air hose assemblies where a secure twist-lock connection is required. Typical installations include fixed and mobile supplied air systems used in painting, confined space entry, and other environments requiring continuous clean air delivery.
