A Male Connector Quick Connect 1/2" Tube x 1/4" MPT is a fitting that allows you to connect a 1/2-inch outer diameter tube to a 1/4-inch Male Pipe Thread (MPT) port. This type of connector is commonly used in a variety of fluid, pneumatic, and industrial applications. Here’s a detailed overview of its features and uses:
Key Features:
1. Quick Connect/Disconnect:
o The quick-connect feature allows for rapid and tool-free connection and disconnection of the tubing, which is ideal for systems that require frequent maintenance or adjustments.
o The connector typically has an internal locking mechanism (like a spring or pin) that secures the tubing into place once it’s inserted.
2. 1/2" Tube Size:
o The fitting is designed to connect to 1/2-inch outer diameter tubing, which is a standard size in fluid handling and pneumatic systems.
o The tube is pushed into the connector, and the quick-connect mechanism holds it securely, ensuring a reliable and leak-proof connection.
3. 1/4" MPT (Male Pipe Thread):
o The 1/4-inch Male Pipe Thread (MPT) end is designed to connect to female NPT (National Pipe Thread) fittings or ports.
o The tapered threads on MPT fittings create a tight seal, ensuring that the connection is secure and leak-free when screwed into a corresponding female NPT port.
