Male-female threaded reducer for compressed air

Connect parts of different sizes in your air installation without any hassle. It is very common for the outlet of the compressor, receiver or regulator not to match the thread of the coupler, filter or hose you want to fit. This threaded reducer is the adaptor with a male thread on one side and a female thread of a different size on the other, for joining hoses, pipes or accessories of different diameters in your air installation.

Available in four combinations: male 1/8" - female 1/4", male 1/4" - female 3/8", female 3/8" - male 1/2" and male 1/2" - female 3/4". With them you go from one size to another in a single part, without fitting several chained fittings that add leak points.

Advantages

  • Direct adaptation: change size in a single part.
  • Male-female: screws into one part and receives the other.
  • Four combinations: from 1/8" to 3/4".
  • Fewer leaks: fewer chained fittings in the installation.

What it is for

  • Adapting the compressor or air receiver outlet to an accessory of a different size.
  • Fitting small-thread pressure gauges to larger ports.
  • Joining hoses, pipes and accessories of different diameters.

Vetonek tip

Seal the male thread with PTFE tape in the direction of the thread and do not overtighten: on a tapered thread, too much torque can crack the female part. Check the joint with soapy water before considering the installation finished.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to use PTFE tape?

Yes, apply PTFE tape or thread sealant to tapered male threads to prevent leaks.

How do I know which size I need?

Look at the thread of the two parts you want to join: the reducer must have one male size and one female size that match them.

What combinations are available?

Male 1/8" - female 1/4", male 1/4" - female 3/8", female 3/8" - male 1/2" and male 1/2" - female 3/4".

Does reducing cause a loss of flow?

When going down to a smaller size, the air passage is narrower; for high-consumption tools, keep the larger size for as long a section as possible.

What if both parts are male?

In that case you need a female-female socket or, if they are of different sizes, a combination of socket and reducer.
