Every joint in that stack is another leak path to chase with soapy water, and another place for the run to get stiff and chafe. 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\u003eOne Fitting, Two Sizes: The 1\/2 in x 3\/8 in Reducing Union Advantage\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a \u003cstrong\u003epush-to-connect (PLC) DOT air brake\u003c\/strong\u003e reducing union with a \u003cstrong\u003ecomposite body and brass collet\u003c\/strong\u003e, with \u003cstrong\u003e1\/2 in and 3\/8 in tube ends\u003c\/strong\u003e on the one body. It is the fitting to reach for when a repair or an accessory installation has to meet the existing plumbing at a different size — tying a 3\/8 in branch into a 1\/2 in supply run, or picking up where a previous owner changed line sizes mid-frame and left an adapter stack behind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAssembly is the same on both ends: cut the tubing square, push it fully home, and tug-test before airing the system back up.
