Built from steel with a zinc chromate finish, this connector features a 3\/8 inch body diameter and a 3\/8-18 NPTF thread for a leak-resistant, pressure-tight seal without the need for additional thread sealant. The Tru-Flate design is a widely recognized standard in automotive service and light industrial air tool applications. Licensed HVAC techs, plumbers, mechanics, and general tradespeople working with compressed air lines will find this connector straightforward to install and compatible with standard shop equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis connector is suited for use in automotive service bays, light industrial facilities, and any compressed air distribution system that uses the Tru-Flate automotive coupler standard. It is typically installed at the hose or tool end of a pneumatic line where a female threaded port is required. The 3\/8-18 NPTF thread size is common in mid-range air tool and compressor fittings, making this connector a practical replacement or expansion fitting in existing pneumatic networks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/8-18 NPTF female threaded connection for leak-resistant sealing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/8 inch body diameter matches standard Tru-Flate automotive coupler sizing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSteel construction provides durability in shop and service environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eZinc chromate finish offers corrosion resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTru-Flate automotive coupler style for broad compatibility with common shop air equipment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or standard connector for compressed air systems using the Tru-Flate automotive coupler standard with 3\/8-18 NPTF female threaded ports.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a qualified tradesperson familiar with compressed air systems. Always depressurize the air line and disconnect the compressor before servicing any pneumatic fitting. NPTF threads are designed to seal on the thread form itself, but inspect threads carefully before installation and use appropriate thread practices per applicable codes. Do not overtighten, as this can damage the thread form or the fitting body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoupling Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Connector\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Threaded\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8-18 NPTF Female\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Zinc Chromate\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.10 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: PARKER\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3E\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PARKER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51539426214194,"sku":"3E","price":22.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/52fef0de21d0b27385ea6bf7bfd8fdb8.jpg?v=1785840074","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/parker-3e-female-nptf-tru-flate-pneumatic-connector-3-8-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
