Tru-flate 21-595 Brass Ball End Adapter 1/4in Mnpt X Mnps

Product Description

The TRU-FLATE 21-595 is a brass ball end adapter designed to connect 1/4 inch Male NPT (National Pipe Taper) threads to 1/4 inch Male NPS (National Pipe Straight) threads with an integrated ball socket end. This fitting is used to create a secure, quick-connect style transition between NPT and NPS threaded pneumatic or fluid lines. Machined from brass, it offers corrosion resistance and reliable sealing in compressed air and general-purpose plumbing applications. HVAC techs, plumbers, and general mechanical contractors install this type of adapter where thread form conversion is needed at a tool or line connection point.

This adapter is suited for light commercial and residential applications involving compressed air systems, pneumatic tool connections, and fluid transfer lines. The ball socket end allows for angular engagement at the connection point, making it useful in tight or awkward installation locations where straight alignment is difficult. It is sold individually, packaged one per card, and is a standard stocking item for service vans and shop inventories.

Key Features

• 1/4 inch Male NPT to 1/4 inch Male NPS thread conversion with ball socket end
• Brass construction for corrosion resistance in air and fluid service
• Ball socket end allows angular engagement at the connection point

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service fitting for pneumatic and fluid systems using 1/4 inch NPT and NPS threaded connections in residential and light commercial applications.

Installation Notes

This adapter is installed by hand-threading and then tightening with an appropriately sized wrench. Depressurize and isolate the air or fluid line completely before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply thread sealant tape or compound to NPT threads per standard practice; NPS threads may require a different sealing method depending on application. Follow applicable local plumbing or mechanical codes when used in regulated systems.
