It runs \u003cstrong\u003e1\/2 in DOT air brake tubing\u003c\/strong\u003e straight into a \u003cstrong\u003e1\/2 in male NPT\u003c\/strong\u003e port — 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFull-Flow Air Delivery: The 1\/2 in Brass PLC Connector Advantage\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003ebrass body and collet\u003c\/strong\u003e 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 \u003cstrong\u003e1\/2 in tube end\u003c\/strong\u003e accepts a squarely cut tube with a firm push and holds it against system pressure; the \u003cstrong\u003e1\/2 in male NPT\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a DOT-approved air brake fitting that meets \u003cstrong\u003eFMVSS 571.106\u003c\/strong\u003e requirements for brake circuits, so it belongs in the line and not just in the toolbox. It carries a listed \u003cstrong\u003e0.12 lbs\u003c\/strong\u003e and packs at 1.5 x 1.15 x 1.15 in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSizing 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 \u003cstrong\u003e177.13B688D\u003c\/strong\u003e to get the straight 1\/2 in by 1\/2 in combination.
