Parker 16-787 Pneumatic Hose Coupler Tru-flate 1/2 in

Product Description

The PARKER 16-787 is a male NPTF threaded pneumatic hose coupler designed for compressed air systems using the Tru-Flate Automotive interchange standard. Built from steel, it features a 1/2-inch body diameter and a 1/2-14 NPTF thread. The coupler handles a maximum working pressure of 300 psi and operates across a temperature range of -40 degrees F to 250 degrees F. At 3.08 inches overall length with a 1.0-inch hex, it is sized for standard hand or wrench installation on air lines, compressors, and pneumatic tool connections. Licensed HVAC, mechanical, and general service technicians working with shop air or portable compressor setups will find this a reliable, direct-fit coupling option.

This coupler is suited for automotive service shops, industrial facilities, and any application requiring a Tru-Flate Automotive interchange connection. The Tru-Flate interchange type is widely used in North American automotive service environments and pairs with compatible Tru-Flate-style plugs and fittings. It connects inline between a threaded air supply port and a pneumatic hose or tool. Typical installations include wall-mounted air outlets, compressor tank ports, and inline manifold assemblies where a secure, pressure-rated threaded coupler is required.

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement or service coupler for pneumatic systems using the Tru-Flate Automotive interchange standard with 1/2-14 male NPTF threaded connections.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified service technicians or mechanics. Depressurize the air supply line fully before removing or installing any coupler. Apply thread sealant appropriate for pneumatic service to the male NPTF threads per the fitting manufacturer's guidance. Use a wrench on the 1.0-inch hex to achieve a secure connection; do not overtighten by hand alone.
