Dixon 6816X16 Brass Push-to-Connect Air Tube Fitting, Male Connector, 1/2" Tube OD x 1/2" NPTF Male
This Dixon 68 series male connector is a brass push-to-connect air tube fitting that connects a tube to a female threaded connection in a straight line. It has a push-to-connect tube connection on one end and male National Pipe Taper Fuel (NPTF) threads on the other end for connecting to male threaded pipes. The NPTF threads create a tighter seal than straight threads. This fitting is made of brass for corrosion resistance, ductility at high temperatures, and low magnetic permeability. Brass can be connected to copper, brass, plastic, aluminum, and welded steel. The fitting has an operating temperature range of -10 to +200 degrees F. This connector tube fitting is suitable for use in air applications.Tube fittings are components used for connecting, branching, terminating, and changing the direction of tubing in pneumatic and hydraulic systems. They are made of brass, stainless steel, PBT (polybutylene terephthalate), and other materials that resist corrosion and wear. Tube fittings have various types of connections, including threaded, welded, barbed, and push-to-connect (also called one-touch). Push-to-connect connections do not require tools or sealants. Tube fittings are used in various applications, including machine tools, airplane and truck controls, and automated production lines, among others.Dixon Valve & Coupling Company manufactures pipe and hose fittings and accessories. The company, founded in 1916, is headquartered in Chestertown, MD.
