One end is \u003cstrong\u003e1\/2in NPT male\u003c\/strong\u003e and the other is \u003cstrong\u003e3\/8in NPT male\u003c\/strong\u003e, which is the step almost every supply-side repair ends up needing: a half-inch reservoir or manifold port feeding a three-eighths valve, coupling or run of line. Do it with a bushing and a separate nipple and you have added a joint, added overhang and given vibration a second place to work a seal loose. 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\u003eThe Step Every Air System Needs: The DOT 1\/2in x 3\/8in 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 built for \u003cstrong\u003eair brake plumbing on tractors and trailers\u003c\/strong\u003e. Both ends are tapered NPT, so each joint tightens as it is driven and seals on the thread flanks rather than relying on a gasket or an O-ring that ages out.

At \u003cstrong\u003e0.2 lbs\u003c\/strong\u003e the reduction stays compact and close to the port instead of standing off it, and the hex centre lets a wrench torque the nipple on its own.
