It connects 1\/2-inch OD tubing to a 3\/8-inch male NPT port, allowing a 45-degree change in line direction with a swivel function that simplifies alignment during installation. Rated to 250 psi maximum working pressure and suitable for temperatures from -40 degrees F to 200 degrees F, this fitting meets DOT FMVSS 571.106, SAE J2494, SAE J2494-3, and SAE J844 standards. The nitrile O-ring provides a reliable seal in compressed air service. Trade professionals trust this fitting for demanding mobile equipment and commercial vehicle air brake plumbing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis fitting is used in DOT-compliant air brake systems on commercial trucks, trailers, and other motor vehicles where push-to-connect tubing must transition to a male NPT port at a 45-degree angle. The swivel feature allows the NPT end to be threaded in fully without twisting the tubing run. Typical installers include diesel mechanics, fleet maintenance technicians, and trailer builders working with air brake tubing regulated under DOT standards.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePush-to-connect tube entry accepts 1\/2-inch OD air brake tubing without ferrules or compression sleeves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSwivel 45-degree elbow design eases routing and alignment in tight chassis spaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3\/8-inch male NPT thread for direct connection to valves, tanks, and ported components\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e250 psi maximum working pressure rated for air brake service\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNitrile O-ring seal for reliable performance in compressed air applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDOT-compliant: meets FMVSS 571.106, SAE J2494, SAE J2494-3, and SAE J844\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in DOT-regulated air brake systems with 1\/2-inch OD tubing and 3\/8-inch NPT ported components, per SAE J844 and SAE J2494 specifications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with DOT air brake system requirements.
