AirCraft Reducing Manifold Brass 1/4" x 3/8" F/F (SB1249)
At a Glance: 1/4" to 3/8" female-to-female brass reducing manifold for stepping between air-line sizes
Air systems love mixing standards—right when you don’t have time for it. The AirCraft SB1249 brass reducing manifold is the tidy solution, giving you a female-to-female (F/F) connector that steps from 1/4" to 3/8". It’s ideal for adapting mismatched pneumatic components on compressors, regulators, filters, manifolds and general compressed-air plumbing without building an awkward stack of adaptors. Made from durable, corrosion-resistant brass, it’s built for workshop reliability and a cleaner, more serviceable air-line layout.
AirCraft brass fittings are designed for dependable compressed-air connections where sealing and longevity matter. This reducing manifold bridges two common sizes in one compact, purpose-made connector.
Extra Information
- Confirm thread standard/type on your system components to ensure correct fitment 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 spanner flats—avoid over-tightening.
- After installation, pressurise gradually and check for leaks using soapy water before full operation.
Pro Tip
- When stepping up to 3/8", support heavier hoses and fittings so they don’t pull sideways on the reducer—good alignment is one of the easiest ways to prevent slow leaks.
Features
- Brass construction Tough, corrosion-resistant body for long service life in workshop and industrial environments.
- 1/4" x 3/8" reducing manifold Steps between two common pneumatic connection sizes.
- F/F (Female/Female) configuration Ideal for joining two male-thread components of different sizes.
- Compact connector Keeps your air-line layout tidy and easier to maintain.
Benefits
- Fast compatibility fix: Connect mismatched fittings without replacing your existing hoses or components.
- Fewer leak points: One proper reducer is often more reliable than stacking multiple adaptors.
- Cleaner system layout: Helps reduce clutter around regulators, filters and manifolds for better serviceability.
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 correct immediately—never operate a leaking or unstable air line.
