Female-female threaded socket for compressed air

Join two male-threaded parts in line firmly, neatly and without leaks. Sometimes what you need is not a bend or a change of size, but simply to join two male-threaded accessories one after the other: a hex nipple with a coupler, a threaded pipe with a valve, or two sections of an installation. This threaded socket is a straight fitting with two female threads of the same size, designed precisely for that in compressed air installations.

Available in 1/4", 3/8" and 1/2", the standard sizes on workshop compressors, air receivers, regulators and air networks. It is the part that turns two male threads into a solid, airtight joint and, combined with hex nipples and reducers, lets you put together almost any configuration.

Advantages

  • Straight connection: does not change the direction of the air or add bends.
  • Female-female: connects two male-threaded parts of the same size.
  • Three sizes: 1/4", 3/8" and 1/2".
  • Simple installation: all you need is PTFE tape and a spanner.

What it is for

  • Extending an air line by joining two threaded sections.
  • Joining hex nipples, quick couplers and shut-off valves in line.
  • Repairing or extending workshop compressed air installations.

Technical specifications

  • Type: straight female-female socket
  • Sizes: 1/4" · 3/8" · 1/2"
  • Use: compressed air

Vetonek tip

Seal the male threads going into the socket with PTFE tape, in the direction of the thread, and tighten while holding the other part with a second spanner so you do not strain the installation. Then check the joint with soapy water.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to use PTFE tape?

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

What is the difference from a hex nipple?

The socket has two female threads; the hex nipple has two male threads.

Which size do I need?

The same as the male thread of the two parts you are going to join: 1/4", 3/8" or 1/2".

Can I join different sizes?

Not with this socket, because both threads are the same. For different sizes, combine it with a threaded reducer.

Is it suitable for water?

It is designed for compressed air installations; for other fluids, please contact us first.
