Push-to-Connect Swivel Male Elbow - DOT 3/8" Tube x 1/2" NPT Air Brake Fitting - 369PTC68 QL13696D 177.12C696D

Step a 3/8 in air line into a half-inch port without a stack of adapters using this DOT Push-to-Connect (PLC) Swivel Male Elbow distributed by FleetPro Parts & Tires. It accepts 3/8 in DOT nylon air-brake tubing on the push-to-connect side and threads into a 1/2 in NPT pipe port on the other, doing the size change and the 90 degree turn in one piece. Every extra adapter in an air circuit is one more thread to weep from: the compressor cycles all shift, the low-air warning keeps the driver guessing, and a leaking brake circuit is an instant 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.

One Fitting, One Thread: The 1/2 in NPT Swivel Elbow Advantage

This Automann fitting pairs a composite body with a brass collet. The composite housing resists the road salt, spray and moisture that pit all-metal fittings, while the brass collet grips the nylon tube where it counts. The swivel is what saves the job: tighten the male thread to its proper seal first, then rotate the elbow so the tube run heads where the chassis has room — no choosing between a sealed thread and a sensible route. On the tube side it is push-to-connect, so there is no flaring, no compression sleeve to tighten and no special tooling needed under the truck.
