Description

AirCraft Brass Conical Straight 1/2" Tube x 3/8" M (SB6808C)

At a Glance: Conical tube-to-thread straight fitting: 1/2" tube to 3/8" male connection

When you’re running 1/2" pneumatic tubing and need a clean connection into a 3/8" threaded port, this is the neat, no-nonsense solution.
The AirCraft SB6808C brass conical straight fitting adapts 1/2" tubing to a 3/8" male thread in a straight-through layout—ideal for workshop
air circuits, manifolds, machinery pneumatics and general compressed-air plumbing where you want a compact, serviceable join. Brass construction brings
durability and corrosion resistance, while the conical connection style is designed to seat securely for reliable sealing when installed correctly.

Specifications

Features

• Brass construction Durable, corrosion-resistant body suited to workshop and industrial environments.
• Tube-to-thread adaptor Connects 1/2" tubing to a 3/8" 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 Keeps installations neat and simplifies maintenance.

Benefits

• Cleaner installations: Fewer parts means less clutter and fewer potential leak points.
• Reliable sealing: Correct fitment helps reduce air loss from leaks and supports consistent system performance.
• Stronger tube control: A proper connector helps manage heavier 1/2" tube runs more securely than improvised solutions.

Extra Information

• Use with compatible 1/2" pneumatic tubing; cut the tube squarely for best sealing.
• Use PTFE thread seal tape or a suitable pneumatic thread sealant on the 3/8" 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 1/2" tubing.

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.
