5/16” Male NPT X 1/4” Tube Fitting Valve
Ensure leak-free pneumatic control and reliable chemical delivery with this genuine OEM replacement Hydra-Flex push-to-connect air fitting.
SKU: P-HFI-242
This Push-To-Connect fitting is used for the air actuated valve. It has a 5/16" Male NPT on one end and a 1/4" tube fitting on the other end. The Push-To-Connect style allows for easy installation of air lines with no tools needed. These fittings are reusable by simply releasing the tubing from the fitting.
Key features and benefits include:
- Built for Chemical & Moisture Exposure: Standard hardware store fittings quickly corrode or degrade when exposed to recycled car wash water and aggressive chemical concentrates. This Hydra-Flex fitting features premium internal locking claws and synthetic seals engineered to prevent chemical degradation.
- Instant, Leak-Free Sealing: The 10-32 male thread includes a premium integrated sealing ring, ensuring an absolute airtight connection the moment it is threaded into your air valve or solenoid block.
- True Push-to-Connect Convenience: No tools, sleeves, or compression nuts required. Simply cut your 1/4" poly or nylon pneumatic tubing flush, push it into the collar, and the internal stainless steel gripping teeth lock it securely in place.
- Optimized for Solenoid & Air Valve Banks: The compact, low-profile hex design allows for easy installation in tight, multi-valve manifolds where center-to-center spacing is extremely limited.
