This \u003cstrong\u003eBrass Push-Lock Connect (PLC) Male Connector\u003c\/strong\u003e from Automann is cut for an \u003cstrong\u003eM12 x 1.5 metric thread\u003c\/strong\u003e and takes \u003cstrong\u003e3\/8 in DOT nylon tubing\u003c\/strong\u003e on the push-lock end, so a full-size supply or delivery line lands correctly on a metric air port. It supersedes Automann 177.V8397850. We stock these heavily right here in our Hanover Park, Illinois warehouse to ensure lightning-fast shipping for fleets, diesel repair shops, and owner-operators nationwide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eMetric Port, Full-Size Line: The 3\/8 in x M12 PLC Advantage\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThread form is not negotiable on an air port. An inch-series fitting will thread partway into an \u003cstrong\u003eM12 x 1.5\u003c\/strong\u003e hole and feel tight while it is quietly cutting the port - and the leak that follows never seals with more sealant. This connector uses the correct metric thread, and its \u003cstrong\u003ebrass body and collet\u003c\/strong\u003e resists the corrosion that welds a plated-steel fitting into an aluminum housing, so the joint can be opened again for service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003epush-to-connect\u003c\/strong\u003e end accepts square-cut \u003cstrong\u003e3\/8 in DOT nylon air brake tubing\u003c\/strong\u003e: push the tube home, tug to confirm the collet has locked and charge the system. It is a DOT-approved brass fitting for air brake tubing and meets \u003cstrong\u003eFMVSS 571.106\u003c\/strong\u003e requirements for brake circuits. The fitting weighs 0.08 lbs and ships in a 1.4 x 0.7 x 0.75 in package, is built to Fleet Standard specifications and carries a 1-Year FleetPro Warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis connector is a direct replacement for highly searched industry numbers including \u003cstrong\u003eParker 68PTC-6-MA12\u003c\/strong\u003e and Parker 68PTC6MA12, and it replaces Automann 177.V8397850.
