It features a 1\/2 inch outside diameter tube connection on each end and a 1\/4 inch NPTF male thread in the center, allowing a tube-in, tube-out configuration with a threaded port for manifold or component mounting. Rated to 250 psi maximum working pressure, the fitting is built from brass with a nitrile O-ring seal for reliable, leak-resistant performance across a wide temperature range. It carries a D.O.T. air brake fitting designation, making it suitable for regulated air brake system installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis fitting is used in air brake lines, pneumatic control systems, and compressed air distribution where a push-to-connect interface is needed alongside an NPT threaded port. The D.O.T. air brake rating makes it a common choice for commercial vehicle service, fleet maintenance, and heavy equipment pneumatic plumbing. It installs quickly without flare tools or compression sleeves, which reduces labor time on multi-line assemblies. The fitting suits both new builds and repair work where fast, secure tube connections are required in tight spaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePush-to-connect ends accept 1\/2 inch OD tube without additional tooling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/4 inch NPTF male center thread for direct port or manifold connection\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e250 psi maximum working pressure rating\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eD.O.T. air brake fitting designation for regulated vehicle air brake systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBrass body with nitrile O-ring for corrosion resistance and reliable sealing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOperating temperature range of -40 degrees F to 200 degrees F\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with 1\/2 inch OD tubing in pneumatic and air brake systems requiring a tube-to-male NPT push-to-connect configuration.

Depressurize and isolate the air line completely before removing or installing any fitting. Ensure tube ends are cut cleanly and squarely with a tube cutter and are free of burrs before insertion into the push-to-connect ports. Verify thread sealant compatibility with the system media before applying to the NPTF male thread, and torque to the port manufacturer specification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tube x MNPT x Tube x Male (Push-To-Connect)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTube Outside Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4 inch NPTF\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Working Pressure\u003c\/strong\u003e: 250 psi\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Working Temperature\u003c\/strong\u003e: -40 degrees F\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Working Temperature\u003c\/strong\u003e: 200 degrees F\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eO-Ring Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Nitrile\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpecial Designation\u003c\/strong\u003e: D.O.T.
