Midland Industries HE68S-64 Hose End Swivel Connector Brass

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES HE68S-64 is a brass hose end swivel connector designed for air brake plumbing applications. It provides a reliable transition between two tube outside diameter connections, with a 3/8 inch tube OD on one end and a 1/4 inch tube OD on the other. The swivel design allows for rotational adjustment during installation, reducing stress on hose assemblies and simplifying routing in tight spaces. Constructed from brass, this fitting delivers corrosion resistance and durability suited to the demands of commercial vehicle and industrial air brake systems. Installation is typically performed by diesel mechanics, fleet maintenance technicians, and experienced plumbing trades working on compressed air systems.

The HE68S-64 is intended for use in air brake circuit plumbing where a hose end must terminate and connect to a tube line of a different diameter. It falls within the MAF Air Brake product family and is suited for both original equipment assembly and service replacement in compressed air systems requiring a 3/8 inch to 1/4 inch tube OD reduction at a hose end. This fitting is appropriate for light-duty and heavy-duty commercial vehicle air systems as well as stationary industrial compressed air plumbing where air brake-grade components are specified.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified diesel mechanic or air brake system technician. Before servicing any air brake circuit, fully drain system air pressure and lock out the vehicle or equipment per applicable safety procedures. Ensure tube ends are cut cleanly and deburred before seating into the fitting to maintain a proper seal. Consult applicable DOT and FMCSA regulations governing air brake system repairs and component specifications.
