One end is \u003cstrong\u003e1\/2in NPT male\u003c\/strong\u003e and the other is \u003cstrong\u003e1\/4in NPT male\u003c\/strong\u003e, so a reservoir or manifold boss can feed a gauge, a small valve or a control circuit without a tower of adapters standing off the port. That tower is the real problem: two extra sealing surfaces, a long lever arm on a fitting that lives with constant vibration, and a joint that starts weeping the tanks down long before anyone finds it. Supplied under the Automann brand at Fleet Standard grade, 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\u003eBig Port To Small Line: The DOT 1\/2in x 1\/4in Nipple Advantage\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis fitting \u003cstrong\u003emeets FMVSS 571.106 \/ DOT requirements for brake circuits\u003c\/strong\u003e and is intended for \u003cstrong\u003eair brake plumbing on tractors and trailers\u003c\/strong\u003e. Both ends are tapered NPT, so each joint draws tighter as it is torqued and seals on the thread itself - and doing the whole reduction in one body means one fitting to install, one to inspect and one to reorder.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003ebrass\u003c\/strong\u003e body handles the condensate, compressor oil carryover and winter road chemicals that pass through a heavy-duty air system, and it will not gall itself into the cast boss it is threaded into. At \u003cstrong\u003e0.2 lbs\u003c\/strong\u003e it keeps the assembly short and light where a stacked adapter would hang weight off the port, and the hex centre gives a wrench proper grip so the nipple is torqued on its own.
