AirCraft Reducer Brass 1/2" x 1/8" M/F Conical (SB1231)
At a Glance: 1/2" to 1/8" male/female conical brass reducer for stepping between pneumatic connections
Pneumatic systems have a funny way of being perfectly engineered… right up until one fitting doesn’t match. The AirCraft SB1231 conical brass reducer is the clean fix: it adapts between a 1/2" and a 1/8" connection using a male/female (M/F) layout, letting you bridge sizes on compressors, regulators, filters, spray equipment and general airline plumbing without rebuilding your setup. Brass construction delivers workshop-tough durability and corrosion resistance, while the conical sealing style helps create a reliable connection when installed correctly.
AirCraft brass fittings are made for dependable pneumatic connections where sealing and longevity matter. This conical reducer keeps your airline neat, serviceable and ready for daily use.
Extra Information
- Confirm your required thread standard/type and the correct M/F orientation before installation.
- Use PTFE thread seal tape or a suitable pneumatic thread sealant where applicable to help prevent leaks.
- Start threads by hand to avoid cross-threading, then tighten using the flats—avoid over-tightening.
- After fitting, pressurise gradually and check for leaks using soapy water before putting the system into full service.
Pro Tip
- For PTFE tape, wrap in the direction of the thread (so it doesn’t unwind while tightening) and keep tape clear of the opening to prevent debris entering the air line—small details, big reliability.
Features
- Brass construction Durable, corrosion-resistant material suited to workshop and industrial environments.
- 1/2" x 1/8" reducer size Steps between two common connection sizes quickly and neatly.
- M/F (Male/Female) configuration Convenient adaptor layout for connecting mismatched fittings.
- Conical sealing style Designed to mate cleanly for a secure, leak-conscious connection.
Benefits
- Instant compatibility: Connect different-sized fittings without replacing hoses, regulators or tools.
- Cleaner airline layout: Reduces “adapter stacks” and helps keep connections compact in tight spaces.
- Confidence under pressure: Quality brass and a proper seal style help minimise leaks when fitted correctly.
Safety
- Wear eye, ear and dust protection when working around pressurised air systems and air tools.
- Depressurise the line fully before removing or installing any fittings.
- Do not exceed the pressure rating of your compressor, hose, tools or system components.
- Check for leaks after installation and re-tighten carefully if required—never “force-tighten” a fitting.
