One end is \u003cstrong\u003e3\/8in NPT male\u003c\/strong\u003e, the other is \u003cstrong\u003e1\/4in NPT male\u003c\/strong\u003e, so a 3\/8in port feeds a 1\/4in component in a single fitting. This is the join every shop improvises with a bushing and a nipple stacked together, and that improvisation adds a second sealing surface, extra length hanging off the port and one more thing to vibrate loose behind a frame rail. 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\u003eTwo Sizes, One Fitting: The DOT Reducing Nipple Advantage\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis fitting \u003cstrong\u003emeets FMVSS 571.106 \/ DOT requirements for brake circuits\u003c\/strong\u003e, so it is intended for \u003cstrong\u003eair brake plumbing on tractors and trailers\u003c\/strong\u003e. Both ends are tapered NPT, which means each joint tightens progressively as it is driven and seals on the thread flanks - and because it is one piece, there is only one fitting to torque and one part number to reorder.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003ebrass\u003c\/strong\u003e body handles the condensate, compressor oil carryover and road salt moving through a heavy-duty air system, and it will not gall into the valve body or manifold at either end when that component eventually has to come off. It weighs \u003cstrong\u003e0.1 lbs\u003c\/strong\u003e and the hex centre gives a wrench a proper grip, so the nipple gets torqued on its own instead of being spun by the part it feeds.
