AirCraft Brass Conical Straight 3/8" Tube x 1/8" M (SB6806A)
At a Glance: Conical tube-to-thread straight fitting: 3/8" tube to 1/8" male connection
Sometimes a pneumatic layout throws you a curveball: a larger 3/8" tube run on one side and a smaller 1/8" threaded port on the other. The AirCraft SB6806A brass conical straight fitting handles that transition neatly, connecting 3/8" pneumatic tubing to a 1/8" male-thread port in a straight-through layout. It’s ideal for manifolds, air preparation units, control circuits and general compressed-air plumbing where you want a compact, serviceable connection. Brass construction provides durability and corrosion resistance, while the conical connection style is designed to seat securely for reliable sealing when installed correctly.
AirCraft tube fittings are built for practical pneumatic installations. This straight connector gives you a tidy transition from 3/8" tubing to a 1/8" male-thread port with a compact, workshop-ready finish.
Extra Information
- Use with compatible 3/8" pneumatic tubing; cut the tube squarely for best sealing.
- Use PTFE thread seal tape or a suitable pneumatic thread sealant on the 1/8" male thread where applicable.
- Start threads by hand to avoid cross-threading, then tighten using the flats—avoid over-tightening.
- Support the tube run near the fitting to reduce vibration and side-load, especially with larger 3/8" tubing.
Pro Tip
- Stepping down to a smaller port (1/8") means the thread is easier to damage—start threading by hand and don’t force it. A clean start prevents cross-threading and saves you from expensive “why is this leaking?” troubleshooting later.
Features
- Brass construction Durable, corrosion-resistant body suited to workshop and industrial environments.
- Tube-to-thread adaptor Connects 3/8" tubing to a 1/8" male-thread port in one compact fitting.
- Straight conical design Straight-through layout designed for a secure, leak-conscious connection when fitted correctly.
- Space-saving solution Reduces adaptor stacking and keeps installations neat and serviceable.
Benefits
- Neater installations: Creates a direct tube-to-port connection with fewer parts and less clutter.
- Quicker servicing: A purpose-made fitting simplifies maintenance and future line changes.
- More reliable performance: Correct sealing helps reduce air loss from slow leaks and supports consistent operation.
Safety
- Wear eye protection when working with pressurised air lines.
- Depressurise the system fully before cutting, removing or installing tubing and fittings.
- Do not exceed the pressure rating of your tubing, fittings or system components.
- Check for leaks after installation and correct immediately to prevent hose whip or unexpected tool actuation.
