It accepts a 3\/8 inch OD tube on one end and a 1\/2 inch OD tube on the other, allowing straightforward size reduction without additional adapters or tools for tube insertion. The body is molded from bio-sourced Nylon 11, a material chosen for its flexibility, chemical resistance, and durability in fluid-handling applications. The integrated EPDM O-ring provides a reliable seal rated to 190 psi. This fitting is installed by plumbers, HVAC technicians, and fluid system technicians working on pneumatic or liquid distribution lines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis reducer fitting is suited for residential and light commercial fluid or pneumatic tubing systems where a step-down connection between 3\/8 inch and 1\/2 inch OD tubing is required. Typical applications include compressed air distribution, water treatment lines, HVAC condensate or fluid circuits, and other systems where push-to-connect fittings are specified for speed and serviceability. The white Nylon 11 body resists corrosion and is compatible with a range of common system fluids where EPDM O-ring compatibility has been verified.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePush-to-connect design allows tool-free tube insertion for fast installation and reconnection\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePlug-in reducer transitions from 1\/2 inch OD to 3\/8 inch OD tubing in a single fitting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBio-sourced Nylon 11 body offers chemical resistance and flexibility in demanding environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEPDM O-ring provides a rated seal to 190 psi working pressure\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact white body suited for tight routing and visible system layouts\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSold in packages of 5 units with a minimum order quantity of 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with 3\/8 inch and 1\/2 inch OD push-to-connect compatible tubing in pneumatic and fluid-handling systems where Nylon 11 fittings and EPDM seals are appropriate for the media and pressure conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDepressurize and isolate the tubing circuit completely before removing or installing any push-to-connect fitting. Ensure tubing ends are cut cleanly and squarely with a proper tube cutter to achieve a full seal against the O-ring. Verify that the tubing OD matches the fitting port size before insertion, and confirm that the media in the system is compatible with Nylon 11 and EPDM before pressurizing. This fitting is typically installed by licensed plumbers or HVAC technicians in accordance with applicable mechanical and plumbing codes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTube Outside Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 x 1\/2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Working Pressure\u003c\/strong\u003e: 190 psi\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bio-Sourced Nylon 11\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eO-Ring Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: EPDM\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor\u003c\/strong\u003e: White\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5 units\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.02 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 27121707\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: 72338502\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PARKER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51541206532402,"sku":"72338502","price":187.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/9805619ce23cf4fd8bdccce9e7b6e325.jpg?v=1785870133","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/parker-72338502-push-to-connect-plug-in-reducer-3-8-x-1-2-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
