The \u003cstrong\u003eBrass Push-Lock Male-to-Male Connector\u003c\/strong\u003e from Automann carries a 3\/8 in tube end on one side and an M16x1.5 thread end on the other, so a full-size air line lands on a large metric port without an adapter stack underneath it. Guessing at a metric thread is how ports get cut and how a quick line repair turns into a valve replacement. 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\u003eLarge Metric Port, One Piece: The 3\/8 in x M16x1.5 Advantage\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003emale-to-male\u003c\/strong\u003e layout is what keeps this repair clean. There is no bushing between the fitting and the port and no ferrule on the tube, so the assembly is short, light and has exactly one sealing thread to look after. In a brake circuit that is the whole argument: every joint you delete is a joint that cannot weep at three in the morning. Brass construction handles the salt, condensate and heat cycling under a chassis without seizing into the housing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe push-lock end takes square-cut \u003cstrong\u003e3\/8 in tubing\u003c\/strong\u003e by hand, so the line can be rebuilt with a tubing cutter and nothing else. This is a DOT-approved brass fitting for air brake tubing and it meets \u003cstrong\u003eFMVSS 571.106\u003c\/strong\u003e requirements for brake circuits, which is what separates it from a general-purpose pneumatic fitting. Automann builds it to Fleet Standard specifications for universal air brake plumbing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis connector is a direct replacement for highly searched industry numbers including \u003cstrong\u003eParker 68PTC-6-MA16\u003c\/strong\u003e and Parker 68PTC6MA16. Measure the port before ordering - metric threads are easy to mix up by eye, and this connector is cut for M16x1.5.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eVehicle Fitment \u0026amp; Compatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis DOT brass air fitting uses a universal design intended for the following commercial applications:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMake\/Model:\u003c\/strong\u003e Universal - Class 8 tractors, commercial trailers and heavy-duty equipment\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSystem:\u003c\/strong\u003e Universal air brake plumbing on tractors and trailers\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTube Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3\/8 in tube end\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePort Thread:\u003c\/strong\u003e M16x1.5 thread end\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompliance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Meets FMVSS 571.106 \/ DOT requirements for brake circuits\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComponent Group:\u003c\/strong\u003e Air Brake \u0026amp; Wheel \/ Air System Manifolds \u0026amp; Valves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDirect Replacement \u0026amp; Cross-Reference Numbers:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThis Automann brass fitting serves as a direct replacement for the following part numbers:\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eParker Interchange:\u003c\/strong\u003e 68PTC-6-MA16, 68PTC6MA16\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAutomann Distributor #:\u003c\/strong\u003e 177.13B686M16\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComponent Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Push-to-connect (PLC) Male to Male Connector, DOT air brake\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConfiguration:\u003c\/strong\u003e Male to Male Connector\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTube End:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3\/8 in\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread End:\u003c\/strong\u003e M16x1.5\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody:\u003c\/strong\u003e Brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplication:\u003c\/strong\u003e Universal\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompliance:\u003c\/strong\u003e DOT approved, FMVSS 571.106\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrade:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fleet Standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 889626691157\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Level:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fleet Standard Aftermarket\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Automann (Distributed by FleetPro Parts \u0026amp; Tires)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Automann","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43023817310279,"sku":"177.13B686M16","price":11.52,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0587\/8035\/2583\/files\/image_1920_9972918c-cad4-4064-bc4d-10620b05f0e2.jpg?v=1785419688","url":"https:\/\/fleetpropt.com\/products\/brass-push-lock-male-connector-3-8-tube-x-m16x1-5-air-brake-fitting-parker-68ptc-6-ma16-68ptc6ma16-177-13b686m16","provider":"FLEETPRO PARTS \u0026 TIRES ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
