Overview
Put the big line back in service with this Brass Push-to-Connect (PLC) Male Connector distributed by FleetPro Parts & Tires. It runs 1/2 in DOT air brake tubing straight into a 1/2 in male NPT port โ a full-size, straight-through pairing for the supply-side plumbing where restriction and leakage cost you the most air. When a fitting this size weeps, the compressor never gets ahead of it: pressure sags, the low-air warning nags, and an audible leak on a brake circuit is exactly what takes a truck out of service at the scale. 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.
Full-Flow Air Delivery: The 1/2 in Brass PLC Connector Advantage
The brass body and collet do the heavy lifting here. Brass will not scale and seize the way plated steel does after a few winters of road salt and washdowns, and a brass collet will not go brittle and release the tube like the plastic collets found on economy fittings. The 1/2 in tube end accepts a squarely cut tube with a firm push and holds it against system pressure; the 1/2 in male NPT thread seats into any matching female NPT port in the air brake plumbing. Nothing to flare, nothing to torque against a sleeve, and the same seal on the shoulder as on the shop bench.
This is a DOT-approved air brake fitting that meets FMVSS 571.106 requirements for brake circuits, so it belongs in the line and not just in the toolbox. It carries a listed 0.12 lbs and packs at 1.5 x 1.15 x 1.15 in.
Sizing on push-to-connect fittings is unforgiving, and the 1/2 in tube to 1/2 in NPT pairing is the one that gets confused with the step-down sizes most often. Order by the Automann distributor number 177.13B688D to get the straight 1/2 in by 1/2 in combination. It ships new and is backed by our 1-Year FleetPro Warranty.
