It features a Tube x MNPT x Tube x Male connection configuration, accepting 1\/2-inch OD tubing on both ends with a 1\/2-inch NPTF threaded center port for bulkhead panel mounting. Rated to 250 psi maximum working pressure and tested across a temperature range of -40 degrees F to 200 degrees F, this fitting is built for the demands of commercial vehicle and heavy-duty pneumatic plumbing. A nitrile O-ring seal provides reliable, leak-resistant performance under continuous pressure cycling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis fitting is intended for air brake tubing installations on commercial trucks, trailers, and other vehicles subject to DOT FMVSS 571.106 requirements, as well as applications governed by SAE J2494 and SAE J2494-3 standards. It is suited for bulkhead panel pass-through configurations where a push-to-connect interface is needed on both tube sides and a threaded connection is required at the panel. Licensed fleet mechanics, pneumatic plumbing technicians, and commercial vehicle service professionals are the primary installers of this component.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePush-to-connect on both tube ends for fast, tool-free tube insertion\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBrass construction for corrosion resistance in air brake service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNPTF thread type provides a dry-seal threaded interface at the bulkhead\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDOT-compliant per FMVSS 571.106, SAE J2494, and SAE J2494-3\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNitrile O-ring seals rated from -40 degrees F to 200 degrees F\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e250 psi maximum working pressure for high-demand pneumatic circuits\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style DOT air brake fitting for 1\/2-inch OD tubing push-to-connect systems requiring a male bulkhead configuration with 1\/2-inch NPTF thread.
