AirCraft Brass Conical Straight 3/8" Tube x 1/4" M (SB6806B)
At a Glance: Conical tube-to-thread straight fitting: 3/8" tube to 1/4" male connection
When you want a clean tube-to-port connection without adaptor stacks, this fitting earns its place fast. The AirCraft SB6806B brass conical straight fitting connects 3/8" pneumatic tubing to a 1/4" male-thread port in a straight-through layout—ideal for manifolds, air preparation units, workshop air circuits and general compressed-air plumbing. Brass construction delivers 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 real-world pneumatic installations where sealing and serviceability matter. This straight connector gives you a tidy transition from 3/8" tubing to a 1/4" male-thread port with a compact footprint.
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 1/4" 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
- A tube clip within a few centimetres of the fitting prevents side-load and vibration. It’s a tiny add-on that pays for itself in fewer leaks and less maintenance.
Features
- Brass construction Durable, corrosion-resistant body suited to workshop and industrial environments.
- Tube-to-thread adaptor Connects 3/8" tubing to a 1/4" 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 Keeps installations neat and reduces adaptor stacking.
Benefits
- Cleaner installations: Fewer parts means less clutter and fewer potential leak points.
- Quick setup: Run 3/8" tube lines directly into common 1/4" ports with minimal fuss.
- Reliable performance: Correct sealing helps reduce air loss and supports consistent system 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.
