Midland Industries HE68SB-6 Air Brake Hose Connector

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES HE68SB-6 is a brass hose end connector designed for air brake system applications. It transitions between a 3/8 inch hose connection on one end and a 3/4 inch Female ABS (Automatic Brake System) fitting on the other. Constructed from brass, this connector provides reliable sealing and corrosion resistance in compressed-air service environments. It is installed by fleet maintenance technicians and commercial vehicle brake system specialists working on air brake lines and hose assemblies.

This connector is used in commercial truck, trailer, and heavy equipment air brake plumbing where a hose end must terminate at a Female ABS port. It is suited for applications requiring a secure, leak-free transition between hose assemblies and ABS-compatible brake line components. The brass construction handles the pressure and temperature demands typical of air brake systems in heavy-duty transport service.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified brake system technician familiar with FMCSA air brake service requirements. Depressurize the air brake system fully before disconnecting or installing any fittings. Use appropriate thread sealant approved for air brake service if required by the fitting design. Inspect surrounding hose and fittings for wear or damage during service.
