Parker 2E Pneumatic Hose Connector 3/8 Male Npt Steel

Product Description

The PARKER 2E is a male NPT threaded pneumatic hose connector designed for use in automotive and industrial compressed air systems. It features a 3/8 inch body diameter with a 3/8-18 NPT thread and is constructed from steel with a zinc chromate finish for corrosion resistance. This connector mates with Tru-Flate style couplings and provides a reliable threaded connection point at the hose or tool end of a pneumatic circuit. Licensed HVAC technicians, auto service professionals, and industrial maintenance personnel commonly install this fitting when assembling or replacing air supply lines on shop equipment.

This connector is suited for automotive service environments and general-purpose compressed air applications. It is used to terminate air hoses, connect pneumatic tools, or adapt supply lines where a standard Tru-Flate style interface is required. The 3/8-18 NPT male thread allows direct connection to female NPT ports on hose ends, manifolds, and equipment fittings commonly found in shop and light industrial settings.

Key Features

• 3/8-18 NPT male thread for direct connection to standard female NPT ports
• 3/8 inch body diameter compatible with Tru-Flate automotive coupler style
• Steel construction with zinc chromate finish for corrosion resistance
• Threaded connection type for secure, leak-resistant assembly
• Compact single-piece connector — no additional hardware required

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-install connector for pneumatic hose assemblies using the Tru-Flate automotive coupler standard with 3/8-18 NPT threaded ports.

Installation Notes

Install by a qualified pneumatic systems technician or maintenance professional. Depressurize the air supply line completely before removing or installing any fittings. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to the NPT threads per standard practice to ensure a leak-free connection. Torque the fitting by hand until snug, then use an appropriate wrench — do not overtighten, as NPT threads are tapered and can crack fittings or damage port threads.
